@"hg56lu" wrote: There’s no reason why they should’ve been able to gain access to my files. They didn’t have permissions to view them while I was linked with their team so why are they able to now? They did, sort of. When you're part of a Business team, the team admin always has the ability to sign in as any other account…

@"robertpri" wrote:So, please clarify in one word: Does Dropbox encrypt my files? Yes? No? It's not that simple, but the short answer is no, Dropbox does not encrypt your files. Any files that you send or download from your account will be received or downloaded as you originally sent them. Dropbox does not alter your…

@"stephan_p" wrote:How did this happen, I used a new SSD disk, but did not tell this Samsung disk to back up data to Dropbox? You must have received a prompt asking if you wanted to back it up, and responded yes. It could be easy to miss, especially if you're just blindly clicking through prompts to close a window.

@"AlainStrasbourg" wrote:Meanwhile, on their documentation they say that if Dropbox doesn't work this is not their responsibility!!! It actually is their responsibility. Dropbox provides access to the API for third parties to develop applications that connect to Dropbox, but it's up to those third parties to support their…

@"stephan_p" wrote:I also don't see any additional data in the Dropbox web client that could explain this discrepancy. Check your Backups page.

@"IsaacRaphael" wrote:I have a feeling that I have to pay & join to be able to download the files !!! No, that's not the case, and I've never known Dropbox to even detect an ad blocker, let alone prevent downloads because of one. I run an ad blocker all the time and have never seen Dropbox detect it. Are you sure the…

@"RicquelS" wrote:I want to move folders from my computer into Dropbox. I don't want them to be on my computer, just on Dropbox. The first thing to remember about Dropbox is that the local Dropbox folder is just a regular folder like any other, and any files you put in it are on your local drive taking up space. The…

@"Entenmk" wrote: I have some pictures and a couple documents. Certainly there are other solutions to back those up. You can manually upload them to your account using the Dropbox app, and within the app you can activate the Camera Uploads feature to automatically upload any pictures you take, but there's no backup option…

@"hg56lu" wrote:... a company i was freelancing for ask me to join their team which i did under the same email address. ... surely they cant delete my whole account? Yes, they can.

@"flagman7" wrote:... I went to the email and click onto the "go to folder box" in email and a message says link doesn't work anymore. Either the link was removed or the files were deleted. The owner of the files will need to give you a new link.

@"ncole" wrote:Any and all images from those files are also now showing in the 'Photos' area. The Photos page is a special page that shows all of the images throughout your entire Dropbox account. There's no way to disable this or exclude folders from being included.

@"joe-w-1954" wrote:So you're saying it's possible that Dropbox would then sync the files anyway after I transferred them directly? In theory, yes. At a minimum it WILL index all of your files. My local Dropbox folder is marked entirely as Available Offline. I don't use Selective Sync on my main computer and ALL content…

@"myusko89" wrote:I'm trying to sync a folder that lives within Dropbox to Google Drive, but struggling to do so. Having two sync applications trying to sync the same set of files is often problematic and will usually cause sync issues on one or both sides.

@"myusko89" wrote:... what I want to do is select a folder on my Mac to sync onto Dropbox. ... I feel like this should be a right-click, sync folder to Dropbox ... That's not how Dropbox works. If you want something to sync to your Dropbox account online, it must reside within the Dropbox folder on your computer. Move a…

@"shamim101" wrote: is it the safest way to upload all files (20TB) on Dropbox? after I finished & made those folders online only, should I delete the folder from the Dropbox folder? Using the Dropbox app is the safest option for any amount of data because if the transfer is interrupted, it will continue where it left off…

@"Suzanne W.4" wrote:Dropbox is not in my list of applications. ... What am I missing here? If you have the Dropbox application installed and it's running, you'll see a Dropbox icon in your menu bar, near the day/time.

@"MShelby" wrote:According to dropbox all my storage is taken up with regular files. Can you provide a screenshot of your Plan page? Be sure to mask any private information. Also, have you checked your Backups page?

@"Cayelkb" wrote: Can anybody tell me how to cancel my Dropbox subscription? Check your Plan page and let us know what plan it says you're on. If it says Basic, then you're signed in to a free account and there's nothing to cancel. If that's the case, use the credit card charge lookup tool to identify the account that…

@"vancwa" wrote:So, are the older Dropbox versions now being archived on a different website? That's not an official source for the Dropbox application, and Dropbox generally doesn't make older versions available for download. While you may be able to find an older version online somewhere and install it, Dropbox regularly…

@"dkm_toronto" wrote:How can I hide the Dropbox icon in the system tray on Windows 11? You can exit the Dropbox application which will remove the icon from the system tray, but Dropbox will stop syncing. Beyond that, there's no way to hide the icon. The Windows setting shows this icon as off, but Dropbox overrides the…
