@"realbillsf" wrote:Even though I am replacing the file I shared with the exact same file name when they are going back to the link, they're getting a message "file has been deleted" This depends on how you're replacing the file and, if you're saving over the existing file, how your application saves files. In order to…

@"Gatesallupinmyfolders" wrote: That seems rather excessive when, as you say, I could just allow it access to one folder that I was comfortable allowing access to ... That's not how app-level access works. The Dropbox API allows for full access or app-level access. If an app uses app-level access it gets its own folder…

@"Gatesallupinmyfolders" wrote: Thanks for the response, appreciate it. So essentially what you’re saying is that, yes, I’m giving Microsoft full access to all of my dropbox files and folders? You're giving the Office app full access to your Dropbox.

@"Gatesallupinmyfolders" wrote: It’s asking me to allow access to everything in my Dropbox. It might not actually mean this ... It means access to everything, but that doesn't mean the app is going to access your entire account, just that it can as you're using it. As you open or save files you would need the ability to…

@"PeterWiggy" wrote:Having read the help files, I don't think this is possible unless the contributors have DropBox account. Is this correct? Correct. You would need to invite them to a shared folder which would require a Dropbox account. Alternatively, you can create a File Request which would allow them to upload to your…

@"secret_username1" wrote:1. If I wanted all devices synced to my Dropbox account to have local copies of all files, would I need to click it on each device? 2. Supposing I clicked it on each device, will all future changes to the files stored in the cloud be automatically downloaded on all devices? Or would I need to…

@"secret_username1" wrote:The limits only apply to Dropbox Basic, no? From here: "Dropbox Plus, Family, Professional, and Standard: 1 TB of bandwidth and unlimited file downloads per day." You're confusing different features. That line refers to shared links, not the process of downloading a folder as a Zip file. Can you…

@"junaidiqbalshaikh" wrote: I access my dropbox account from the browser (chrome) and when I try to open one specific file the following message is shown "This link isn't quiet right". Is this a file within your own account, or one that was shared with you?

@"islandcare" wrote:Is there a way to automate a sort and re-organization of client files? You may be able to accomplish this using an folder automation. * https://help.dropbox.com/organize/dropbox-automations

@"VigoBabb" wrote:Is this not possible? or very complicated. More that it's outside the scope of these forums. Dropbox doesn't provide support for third-party apps or integrations. You're free to ask the question and perhaps another user will have a solution for you, but it's not something that Dropbox can directly help…

@"Jameschz" wrote: Is there a way to recover deleted photos older than 365 days? No. The recover limit is 30 days for Basic and Plus accounts, 180 days for Professional and Business Standard accounts, and one year for Business Advanced and Enterprise accounts. *…

@"secret_username1" wrote:Any ideas on how to download all of my data from Dropbox to an external disk? I don't even know what Dropbox's zip limits. Downloading a folder as a Zip file has a limit of 250GB and fewer than 10,000 files. If either of those limits are reached, Dropbox will be unable to create the Zip file.…

@"romosan89" wrote:Hi, I registered fot trial of Dropbox Plus. I was surprised, that I was immedietly charger. Is there any option to refund? If you were charged when you signed up, then you didn't sign up for a trial. You started a new subscription. You can try reaching out to Support but typically, refunds are only…

@"AWei" wrote:I can see the suspicious computer name was added into the device list, so I assume IP address and accurate time is not recorded by Dropbox? If you hover over the i symbol in the Most recent activity column, you'll see the IP address.

@"Richard Eltink" wrote:I believe the differents are (Standard: €12) for each user, You have to buy 3 licences,So the standard one is 12x3=36 euros. And de Profecional plan is for 1 user only. @"DannyJPN" Exactly as @"Richard Eltink" states. Standard is a Business plan meant for a team of people and starts with a minimum…

@"Richard Eltink" wrote:But I'm now stuck at 30TB and I did not got more space, why? its says that I have unlimited space but that is not true. It is unlimited, and it is automatic up to a point (which you've likely reached). Beyond that limit you just need to contact Support to have your storage expanded.

@"VPT" wrote:In my case I would prefer to have deleted photos on my cell to got deleted also in Dropbox That's not an option.

@"Lwigginton2" wrote: That’s so neat that I can specify the download location from Dropbox website, where do I do that? You don't do that on Dropbox. It's a setting in your browser.

@"Lwigginton2" wrote: Sorry, one last question, so there’s no way around having to download them to the computer before transferring to the external hard drive? I thought in the pst I could drag them from whatever they were on to the hard drive as long as they were both connected to the computer The only way to transfer…

@"BBats" wrote:... I don't understand why my Desktop and Documents folders ... were duplicated - and the actual Desktop and Documents folders on my hard drive are separate from those in the Dropbox ... Are you sure they're actually separate folders? When the Backup feature moves the folders into Dropbox, it leaves behind…

@"diapalino" wrote:same question but with install on a new Mac Air with external 4TB Samsung SSD..... From what I understand, the new update for macOS no longer supports installing Dropbox on an external drive. Dropbox now uses Apple's FIleProvider API which restricts the Dropbox folder to the CloudStorage folder.

@"MJP-Arlington" wrote:Whenever I install dropbox it loads on my C:drive and I do not get a message to change the Target location. How do I install Dropbox on my D drive? You need to select the Advance Options during the install (just after signing in, I believe) and you'll have an option to specify the location of your…

@"BBats" wrote:Mysteriously, when dropbox was set up a long time ago, a "desktop" folder was created directly in Dropbox (Dropbox/Desktop), which is different from my actual "desktop" (on an ewer MacBook Air) which is Macintosh/Users/username/Desktop. You likely have the backup feature enabled, which moves the Desktop…

@"RegineS" wrote:I do have the password for my dropbox account, however, it keeps sending a required "login-number" to an email-address I have no longer access to. Unfortunately, if you're being sent a one-time security code and you no longer have access to the email registered with Dropbox, there's no way to access the…

@"jpisunyer" wrote:When I just uploaded several of my photos as a test, the date-time listed is that of the upload, not of the date-time taken.

@"Danielleburnett87" wrote: The thing is that phone got stolen so I have no way to get into that phone. I only have one email so I know what the login would have been. Is there any other way around this? Sign in to your account on the Dropbox website and look at your Events page. Does it show any activity from your old…

@"Cara_M" wrote:I see that, under selective sync in settings, I can check all folders - but, if I add a folder, will it start syncing? If not, is there a way to turn OFF selective sync and instead opt for FULL synching? Yes, if you add a folder to your local Dropbox folder it will start syncing and be available offline. If…

@"Klegan" wrote: The folder is not empty on the persons side who shared the folder. Just on the shared end Make sure they're checking the website and not just the folder on their computer. If the files are in the folder on their computer but they aren't showing on the website, that usually means there's a sync problem on…

@"batmacgyver" wrote:When sharing a link to a video, the video playback controls at the bottom of the screen are completely hidden by the GIGANTIC cooking warning. Can't the user simply acknowledge whatever the prompt is (I accept, or set their cookie preferences... I'm not familiar with what it's prompting) and then…
