CuriousPete12 wrote:I guess their platform someway or somehow is able to bypass this feature? That's highly unlikely. You're probably still signed in to your Dropbox account in whatever browser your school's platform is using, so you're able to download the file (since it's your own link). Make sure you're completely…

It's not listed for me either, on any of my systems, and search still works as expected. Personally, I never mess with the default indexing options and search just…

TugAdagio wrote:Can I have two Family Plans & have those files on my desktop hard drive. No, that's not possible with the Dropbox app. You can only link one personal and one Business account. You can't link two personal accounts. Another option would be to use a third-party application like Cyberduck or Mountain Duck.…

dansrv wrote:I sent referral invitations to friends and colleagues ... but I did not receive the 500 MB for any of the three .. Were you on the same network (same external IP address) as your colleague's? If so, that's likely the cause as Dropbox expects to see the referrals sign up from a different network from your own.…

TugAdagio wrote:As I would like to join a different family plan, how do I first change my current family plan to another standard plan? My family plan just renewed a couple of months ago. You would first need to cancel your current subscription and wait for the account to downgrade. The cancellation would go into effect at…

Rename your existing Dropbox folder to Dropbox_OLD or similar. Reinstall Dropbox and specify the location you want to use for your Dropbox folder. Finish the…

Cheryl1f wrote:... it use to pop up with folders instead of activity by default. You may be thinking of an older version of the app that no longer exists. For a short time the Dropbox app also showed your folders and files directly within the app, basically having its own file manager, instead of redirecting you to your…

In order to accept a shared folder she needs to have enough space available in her account to hold the entire folder. If she doesn't have enough space, she needs to upgrade her account. The other option is as Hannah…

ralf02 wrote:I can't see the original in the version history. It looks like the original is now lost, because it was "older than 30 days". Unfortunately, that's how it works. If you have a file that hasn't changed in over 30 days (or whatever the recovery limit is on your account) and you modify it today, you can't recover…

Also, refer to…
