@"jazzmeg1" wrote:I don't know why those two icons are in my Desktop app folder. Aside from being hidden, the desktop file is actually called desktop.ini, and is a application settings file that controls how a folder appears in Windows.

@"livvvv4" wrote:I received this email that is from no-reply@dropbox.com but the sender name says Paypal corp and if you hit reply it is addressed to a gmail that has nothing to do with Dropbox.

@"Msmariko" wrote: There is a phone number for Help Desk, but when I looked for Dropbox contact info online, I wasn’t able to find any such number. Very good that you checked for actual contact information on the official Dropbox site. This is the first thing that I try to teach my users about how to spot a scam! Verify…

@"Visionarie" wrote:I never authorized Dropbox to upload all my files way back in the beginning. It was included with Windows and just automatically uploaded all my files without my permission.

@"Tiffany08" wrote: Why did my links get deleted? Perhaps because they contained transaction numbers, or a scam phone number? I didn't delete them so perhaps one of the Dropboxers did.

@"DouglasL" wrote:Anyway, I can’t remove the IPad from the list by using the iPhone and I can’t do anything on Dropbox from the iPad. Will simply removing the app from the IPad remove it from my Dropbox list? No. You need to sign in to the Dropbox website and remove the device from your Security page.

@"Tiffany08" wrote: I would if I had that option That's been an issue for a while. I think you need to be Level 3 or higher on the forums. Simply put, you likely haven't posted enough.

Given that, what functionality is added or taken away by running or not running the Dropbox app? Dropbox can't sync if the application isn't running. Are you sure it's not just running in…

@"Kennymb5384" wrote:This is the one I received. Same amount, and it said it is: Confirmation of Dogecoin (DOGE) purchase Obviously not an invoice from Dropbox. I'd report it to PayPal as a scam.

@"dmccandless" wrote:Just received the exact same email. That's not an invoice from Dropbox. That's someone sending you an invoice (legitimate or not, I can't answer) using the Dropbox Invoice service. If you don't know the sender, be sure to research it thoroughly before making a payment.
