@"Larry90" wrote: If I format the hard drive on a computer with dropbox, will the files in dropbox of other shared devices be deleted simultaneously? No, but you should uninstall Dropbox first, or disconnect the computer from your account on your Security page, just to be safe.

@"EmmaL1" wrote:During how much time a shared link is valid? (with a free account) A shared link will exist for as long as the file or folder exists, or until the link is removed manually. They don't expire.

@"JennyO" wrote:When I used to rename (process for the past 3 years prior to 2-3 weeks ago), the saved image would go into Dropbox as a JPG. However, all of a sudden all those JPS's turned to .00 files. It sounds like when you're renaming the files, you're not including a file extension. If during the rename process you're…

@"CMG94" wrote:I'm trying to login to dropbox and it wants to send a 6 digit code to my old work email address- thus I cannot get the code. How can I change the email address associated with the dropbox account? You can't without signing in to the account. Unless you have another active device already linked to the…

@"lisajanel" wrote: I went through all my files and they don't add up to 2.9 GB anyway. I don't see where that number is coming from. Anything in your Backups?

@"Sarah carrier " wrote:I am being charged on my debit card ... All accounts that I have say there is no plan linked to them ... Use the credit card lookup tool to identify the account you're being charged for.

@"pablopaul" wrote:At this present time, I can see that there is no problem moving online-only files/folders between Dropbox folders; the issue only occurs with copying online-only files/folders. To me, this makes sense and how I would expect it to work. When moving a file, you're moving it as is, in its current state from…

@"ZK3_" wrote: It would be helpful if you could let me know the password used originally by our family of 3, though I have not had the reason to look for it up to now! Dropbox cannot tell you what password you used. They wouldn't have access to it. Any company that's serious about security will store passwords in an…

@"hamfam" wrote:How do i see what is in my dropbox. And how do i dictate what dropbox tries to backup? If you have Dropbox installed on your computer then you can look in the local Dropbox folder on your computer. The only items not shown in the local folder would be any Backups or folders you've removed using Selective…

@"tonyweetman44" wrote:Why i space an issue if they are sharing files in my dropbox account? Because they aren't accessing the files in your account. They get their own copy of the files in their account and they need to have enough space available to hold those files. *…

@"khkannisto" wrote:1A) Once the file has been synced to Dropbox online (green check mark), can I set it to "online only" to remove it from my local drive? Yes. 1B) Why doesn't that happen automatically although my preferences are set to "online only" for new files? That setting applies to new files syncing DOWN to your…

@"talisha80" wrote:I am only accepting folders from a coworker that pays a for a professional account which is suppose to give me ample storage. That's not how it works. If you're a member of a shared folder, you have your own copy of that folder in your account, so you need to have enough space available in your account…

@"cloudres" wrote:What is the best way to keep the computer running, but without keeping the screen active? Dropbox doesn't control any of that, so you would need to look to your OS for such options. I'm not a Mac user so I don't know what options are available to you, but doesn't your OS have power settings that you can…

@"menaralf" wrote:I have uninstalled "Dropbox" from my PC! Should I install it again without upgrading? With the space usage you've shown, there's no need to upgrade your account. Where did you receive the message that you had to upgrade? Email, an app notification, the website, etc.?

@"menaralf" wrote:What do you mean with this??? Nothing is there! It's empty. People that have this issue usually have files being backed up, which also takes space in their account. I was telling you to check your Backups page for any files you were unaware of. What does your Plan page show for your usage? If possible,…

@"deepwtr" wrote:... I read that with that version it would be possible to determine who (if any) on my email list might have viewed a shared file link ... Was the link shared with specific people, meaning you invited them to view and/or edit a file, or was it just a view-only shared link that was setup so anyone with the…

@"rsandison" wrote: How hard is it to cancel a subscription & get a refund for a PayPal automatic payment. Drop box help screens & email support are a joke! It's pretty simple to cancel a subscription, though typically there are no refunds. When you cancel an account, you're cancelling the automatic renewal that would…

@"JMLee1" wrote:It seems that support for Netatmo security camera “Presence” has been dropped. Is that correct? Dropbox doesn't directly support any camera; never has. It's the camera developers that use the Dropbox API and provide the connectivity to Dropbox. If a camera will no longer connect to Dropbox, contact the…

@"Rocks34" wrote:... i noticed is that it says 2 gig personal storage. but now my personal storage usage is about 0.8gig and a other folder shared to me is about 1.6 gig. so I do not understand that my files will not upload and dropbox is telling me storage is full. Files shared with you exist in your account, so they take…

@"Jay" wrote:It should not react the way you are describing it, since it cannot detect the uploader's name from within the middle of the filename. That's exactly how it's behaving. It's looking at the file name for any instance of the name entered by the uploader, and removing it if found. I have a file request set up to…
