@"AmyBow" wrote:Do you or anyone else have any recommendations on how to do a kind of 'autosave equivalent in dropbox? That's not something Dropbox does, or is capable of doing. It's up to the application you're using to do that. Word has it's own auto-save, as well as a recovery feature for files that aren't saved when…

@"Lantz66" wrote:What makes Dropbox Backup necessary considering how I’ve been using Dropbox up to now? Nothing. Stick with the way you've been using it. The Backup feature works by MOVING those key folders into your Dropbox folder so they can sync. That's not made clear and people are losing files later when they remove…

@"prsny" wrote:How do I clear all the Version History and Activity? There is no option to do that.

@"Steven B" wrote:Is there a way to set my dropbox to only take photos, and not to ask if the photo is ok? No. Can you not just take the photos using your phone's camera app, and use the Camera Uploads feature in Dropbox to just upload all of your photos?

@"dpcrush2112" wrote:I probably did it via the app - but I don't understand why it matters how i upgraded - I just did. It matters because if you subscribed through the app, then you're being billed by the app store (Apple or Google) and not by Dropbox, so you would need to contact the app store in question for any billing…

@"Sly_McNasty" wrote:... when I press on Firefox for a bit it brings up some options. One was to "Share". When I tapped that, one of the options was to "send to Dropbox". That's not for syncing profiles. That just allows you to share (or save) a link to the app on the App Store. Firefox has it's own ability to sync parts…

@"Sly_McNasty" wrote:I have a recently synced Firefox on my iPhone. How do I get it FROM my iPhone ONTO my Windows 10 Pro PC? How is this related to Dropbox? Firefox has it's own sync ability which is separate from Dropbox. Is that what you're using or are you somehow trying to use Dropbox for that purpose? If so, how?

@"gdbcom" wrote:What third-party service would you be referring to? MultCloud is one of many such services. Try a Google search for "cloud file transfer" and you'll find several.

@"AlexanderGj" wrote:When i changed jobs i lost the access to both email and phone. I tried to access my account but it send a security code to that email. ... is there any way I can reset this account in order to access it again? Without access to the email address you won't be able to gain access to the account. Your…

@"clira" wrote:... signing out and then back in again resets the need for a passcode. That is the intended behavior. You still need to sign back in, so the app and your account are not accessible once you sign out.

@"clira" wrote:It seems that when you sign and out and back in, your must AGAIN set the passcode requirement on the device. That's the intended behavior, and it's how you reset the passcode if you ever forget it. The same happens if you uninstall/reinstall the app.

@"fedeboraxx" wrote:It seems the new Dropbox makes a lot of files online-only without me asking it to do so. How do I turn this off? There is no option to disable this feature. As long as you have enough drive space and you mark your files as Available Offline, Dropbox shouldn't make them Online-only. It will, however,…

@"rolanddes" wrote: I want to create links for each of them seperately. But obviously I cannot do this manually. Is there a way to this in batch? Dropbox doesn't have a feature for that, but if you have any programming experience you may be able to use the Dropbox API to script it.

@"Cleopatra22" wrote:Lately, whenever I add a video to Dropbox, it converts it to an .Ink file. An .lnk file is not a video file format. It's a shortcut, or link, to a file. In other words, you're not attaching the file to the email. You're attaching a link to the file. How, exactly, are you trying to attach your files to…

@"Baja David" wrote:... couldn't I attach it here? That is what Nancy intended. Go to that page, take a screenshot of it, then post it here.

@"grauja" wrote:Yeah, that's where I see that I've completed the 5 tasks, and where it says I've earned 250 GB of extra storage. Are you sure it's not 250MB? It's usually 250MB that you can earn for completing the Getting Started steps; megabytes, not gigabytes.

@"gpriest" wrote: Maybe I don't what what the whole solution has to offer? The plans available are the only options. Remember with services like Google and Microsoft, they're able to offer lower pricing because they subsidize their cloud storage platforms with their other services. Google has their AD business and…

@"slr1" wrote:Tried rebooting phone....still not working. Deleted app...tried to reinstall on my phone.... Did you reboot the phone after you uninstalled the app and before you tried to reinstall it? Also, is your phone on at least iOS 13.1 or later?

@"mgeigerman" wrote:Charged and never signed up. $119+ Please advise how to remove. Thank you You'll need to contact Dropbox Support directly. 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…

@"1638309" wrote:... this is fraud on my card! I never signed up for this account, I have no use for it. I need these charges to stop! Also remember that Dropbox cannot charge you if they don't have your billing information. If you've been charged and didn't give them your billing information, then someone else has and you…

@"hfaulk9" wrote:Do I need to upgrade my plan to expand storage even though the files are on another persons account? If you're uploading to a shared folder where you have edit access, yes, because you're not uploading to a folder in someone else's account; you're uploading to a folder in your own account and that folder…

@"Dentsville Masonic Lodge" wrote:... when I check my Storage I see that most of the storage is being taken up by 'shared files.' Since the now-deleted files aren't showing up on my home page, I can't remove my access from them. You can remove the shared folders from your account using your Share page. Also, the…

I see that you've posted elsewhere on the forums using a different account ( @"wayneferro1" vs @"wayneferro" ), so you most definitely have more than one account. Make sure you're using the same account on both devices.

@"wayneferro1" wrote:Now i have lost the contact between my cell phone and my computer, how can i marry the two together again? Your cell phone and computer don't link together. Each one links separately to your Dropbox account. In order to see the same files on both, just make sure that you're signed in to the same…

@"RamRock" wrote:Hello, first of all, I don't know if it's because there isn't one or what, but I haven't found anything to express myself in Spanish, which is my language. You should see an option to change the language used by the forums in the upper-right corner of the page. Once you select Spanish, you'll see the…

@"dragomirradev" wrote: Are you sure that such an option doesn't already exist? No such option exists. This is why it's been recommended that the local Dropbox folder NOT be stored on an external drive. As you've seen, under the right conditions, file deletions can occur. If the external drive becomes disconnected at any…

@"julmarand" wrote:... Dropbox said that I overpassed my limit ... then Dropbox said that I am using 4,46 GB of 4,25 GB. It doesn`t make any sense. Do you have the Backup feature enabled? Check your Backups page.

@"RS2020" wrote:I don't understand how Gmail can send the Hello sign message and make the link expire? She's not saying that Gmail (in this case) is sending the message seen in the screenshot. She's saying that if the mail client/system on the recipient's end is scanning the links in the email, then that scan could be…

@"Joos" wrote:Formerly he had an account login as [removed*] but this email address doesn’t exist anymore. Probably this account still exists, and is the cause of the overload of his basic account. First, I've removed all of the personal information from your post. It's very dangerous to post personal information on a…

@"hachiko" wrote:I have deleted that backup now, but I still have no space... If you've deleted the backup from your Backups page, your space should return in time. It's not instant, though it used to be (and should be!).
