  • @"mddc" wrote:Then I wonder, why would MY Dropbox be maxed out if I don't have any folders of my own? This is on his DropBox? As Mark stated, shared folders take up space in your account. This is because you have your own copy of the folder. * https://help.dropbox.com/storage-space/storage-space If you no longer need…
  • @"mddc" wrote:How can I either move it to them — or verify WHO owns the folder we share that I'm seeing in my Dropbox? The easiest way to move a folder to someone is to first share it with them, confirm with them that they've joined the folder and can see it in their Dropbox, then make them the owner and then remove the…
  • @"OVYM" wrote:I have been through all settings online and can not find where to disconnect back-up, yet Dropbox says that my storage is nearly full because of back-up. It's not the settings online that control this. You need to look in Preferences within the Dropbox application on your computer. I can't see anything being…
  • @"igloo1010" wrote:When I download the document to my desktop and open it in the Word app on my computer, the formatting goes haywire. The images end up overlapping, and some of the text gets cut off. Word Online is just a slimmed-down version of Word, meant for basic edits, and the formatting options between the two are…
  • @"Hendrik Vorster " wrote:my account is on a email address of my old employer, I can not get hold of the 6 sigh password sending to me to log into my old account Without access to the email address you won't be able to sign in to the account. Your best option if you need to sign in is to contact your old employer and see…
  • @"Valentin Z" wrote:So I'm posting this because it's been 2 months now that i'm being charged $20 (monthly) on my payoneer account and I don't even know which account they are charging me for. I'm not familiar with Payoneer, but you may be able to use the credit card charge lookup tool to identify the account you're being…
  • @"konnektor" wrote:Has anyone found out where this is coming from? The site you're pasting it in to is likely reading the content at the link and pulling a page title or header. Dropbox has no control over this.
  • @"NEWBIEONE" wrote:Log into my account, click on avatar, click "preferences"....but "preferences" not appearing in drop down menu from clicking on avatar. Remember that it's referring to clicking your avatar in the Dropbox application on your computer; not on the Dropbox website. *…
  • @"Michele Warwas" wrote:I have chatted with someone and was told that this was just the basic plan and I was not being billed ... If you're being charged but your account shows as Basic on your Plan page, then you're being charged for a different account than the one you're signed in to. Use the credit card charge lookup…
  • @"Volquest1" wrote:I set up a DropBox with my old company's e-mail address. Being that I left that organization, that e-mail address is no longer valid and I can no longer access this DropBox file(s). If you've forgotten your password or are being sent a one-time security code, there won't be a way to access the account…
  • @"afhergenro " wrote: There really isn’t a way once you graduate the college shuts down your old free college email account. If you don't have access to the email address or you don't already have an active device signed in to the Dropbox account, there really isn't a way to access the account. You would need access to the…

  • @"Ceao" wrote:I have received a link for a file sent to me through email and when I try to open it brings an error message "That didn't work for some reason" What do I do to download the file? Contact the sender and ask them for a new link. If it continues, it could be something in the way the sender is creating the link,…
  • @"Ratlaw" wrote:I have tried every email i have but can't cancel dropbox...Does anyone know how i can cancel? Visit the Support page while you're NOT signed in to a Dropbox account, including these forums, and you'll see an option for Billing issues. It's best to use an Incognito or Private browsing session to make sure…
  • @"whitesky" wrote:POssible to upgrade to get back files deleted 3 mths ago ? No. Upgrading now won't let you recover a file that's already beyond your recovery period.

  • @"Mollymolly" wrote: I don’t understand I click the share link and send it in an email but the email remains in my out box it will not send? Dropbox doesn't have an Outbox so I'm assuming you're referring to your own mail client. Dropbox wouldn't have anything to do with the sending of the email if you're using your own…
  • @"Jcdinpgh" wrote:is dropbox going to ask me every time I plug in a new or the same USB drive if I want to back it up? How do I disable that? Go into Preferences and disable that feature on the Backup tab.
  • @"DJC_1955" wrote:These 0KB files just keep appearing in my folders. Any reason why? How do I/you stop this please? Dropbox doesn't (and can't) create files on its own like that. Something on one of your devices must be doing it. Look at the version history for one of the files to determine which device is creating them,…

  • @"Jcdinpgh" wrote: I have had a free account ... but recently has started reporting that it is full. My Dropbox folder does not have even close to 2gb of data in it. What does your Plan page report for your usage breakdown? Are there any shared files or backups? * https://www.dropbox.com/account/plan
  • @"David0907" wrote:... i cannot login because a 6 digit code keeps being sent to the email address. Problem is my registered e-mail account is not working anymore because the e-mail client has shutdown permanently. Without access to the email address, you won't be able to sign in. The only possibilities are if you already…
  • @"Judy12159" wrote:I was just asked to set up a passphrase for my desktop, so I did! The Dropbox desktop application doesn't have an option for a passcode or passphrase. Are you sure it was Dropbox that you set that up in?
  • @"Judy12159" wrote:Is there a reason why the passcode isn't available for the desktop? Doesn't that result in a lack of security? It actually results in a false sense of security. Adding a passcode to the Dropbox application doesn't protect your files when they can be easily accessed on your computer through Explorer or…

  • @"fbenedetto" wrote:I have a paid account, but today, I combined it with a team invitation, and I noticed all my folders were shared, so I asked to go back to my previous condition and to be kicked off from the team account. The result is that I have lost my account with access to all my folders. When joining a Business…
  • @"makaylajasbatts" wrote:I recently bought a course, and the owner put it on Dropbox, but every time I click the link, it says the folder does not exist; for others I have talked to that have received the course, the link they click on seems to work fine so I don't know if it is something on my end. Are they using the same…
  • @"Suzie541" wrote:I am trying to invite a member to be able to access the drop box we have opened, can I do that a different way? You can't invite someone to share the entire account. Instead, you create a folder and then you can invite someone to that. They'll have access to anything you place in the folder, but not the…
  • @"debbru" wrote:Can you please tell me how to change this setting Change it to what? If you share the files with someone that column will update to show the number of people that have access.
  • @"Eva1975" wrote:I was trying to cancel a free Plus trial in every ways but it was impossible on the website following the instructions. The instructions are fine but it depends on how you initiated the trial in the first place. Did sign up for the trial through the Dropbox website, or though the mobile app?
