@"sparrsh" wrote:What are these types of files called? Can I restore it? Online or with help of any application? There's no function to restore files from cache.

@"kvinna" wrote:... the account I use to log in and for which the subscription is supposed to be just says that I don't have a subscription and am therefore not authorised to contact support.

@"laurentius" wrote:Is it possible to upload big files directly into DB/Cloud without being "physically" on my hd? Only if you upload through the Dropbox website.

@"Yaecob omer" wrote: How can I contact ESP ? Your ESP is your email service provider, which would be whoever provided you with your old email address. You need to contact them to see if you can get back in to that old email. Once you do, you can reset your Dropbox password.

@"sclippy" wrote:I have several files that I am trying to delete in my DB. When I select them and then Delete, a few seconds later, they reappear.

@"TechChallengedLawyer" wrote:Is it not possible to have my own business team and then also be a member of another business team? Not with the same account, no. You'd need to use one account to create your Business team, then another to join someone else's team. Also, you can't sync two Business accounts to the same…

@"cb57" wrote: When I saw that the files were still in my memory I uninstalled the app thinking that would get rid of the files on my computer.

@"jeremymidstates" Yes, to both questions.

@"sfross" wrote:My understanding was that items in the Dropbox folder/app could only be opened in Dropbox. You can browse your Dropbox files directly within the Pages and Numbers apps. Just add Dropbox as a location within the Files app.

@"sjamie" wrote:... is there a way to simply merge the two backups? If not, how do I delete the backup of the "old" PC ... There's no way to merge two backups. You should be able to delete the old one from your Backups page.
