@"Rebecca T.13" wrote:I was recently invited to join a client's dropbox folder... now MY entire dropbox is in THEIR dropbox. You weren't invited to a shared folder. You were invited to and accepted an invitation to join their Business team account. When doing so, you merged your account into their team account, effectively…

@"jDGGV" wrote:My problem is, that I can’t find the option to deactivated the notification in the settings. There is no option to disable that particular notification. If you don't want to see the emails, create a rule in your mailbox that automatically archives or deletes them.

@"ikala" wrote:We have files that amount to about 1 gb in our free account and no backup used, but we are getting notifications that our account is out of space and it has stopped syncing. Are you a member of any shared folders? These take up space in your account as well. Take a look at the space usage on your Plan page.…

@"HVS" wrote:Yes, indeed, that's what I want: - I simply don't know how to do it... Do a Google search for "[your OS] how to create a Desktop shortcut" and replace [your OS] with Windows, macOS, Linux, etc., based on whatever operating system you're using.

@"NewBizOwner" wrote:MacOS/Dropbox is forcing all versions to be copied into the Archive subfolder instead of moving them the way it always used to. Dropbox has no control over whether a file is copied or moved during a drag and drop process. Your operating system controls that. Typically though, it depends on the location…

@"AllThisnTrvlToo" wrote:Dropbox Support kindly assisted me with removing beta and installing latest manually. However after that process my Dropbox Location reverted from ~library/cloudstorage to the old HomeUsername/ Dropbox location. The relocation of your Dropbox folder to ~Library/CloudStorage is part of the beta and…

@"BdiS" wrote:Showing the folder sizes on the web interface, they are all smaller than those actually on the hard disk (as shown by Finder locally). Could that be due to the fact that Mac uses 1000 bytes to represent a Kilobyte instead of the more standard 1024 bytes, which Dropbox also uses? But how the heck can I restore…

@"Joycegtx1951" wrote:When I attempt to access some files in Dropbox, I get the File Cannot be Accessed by the System error. ... It's only since I moved to Windows 11 that this has started. Right-click one of the files and select Make available offline, then try opening it again.

@"lisaklingner" wrote: I have just received notification of a new update for Dropbox for Mac uses. Does this address the issue I was having at all? No. Links will still open in a browser on the Dropbox website, as intended.

@"HVS" wrote:I wish to place on my desktop screen a copy or a "duplicate" file of an Excel file that exists within my Dropbox Folder and be able to edit it from there, as opposed to edit it within the Dropbox App. Dropbox doesn't sync with files located outside of your Dropbox folder. If you truly want a duplicate of the…

@"j_4gtr_66" wrote:I'm hoping someone may have some positive experiences with a 3rd party solution to use for migrating 150GB of files from Dropbox to SharePoint. Have you looked at MultCloud?

All clear! All systems are operational once again. * https://status.dropbox.com/

The Dropbox.com website seems to be back online, though the status message still reads that there are issues. If it's still not working for you, please be patient and try again. * https://status.dropbox.com/

@"RosebudAnne" wrote:Error 5xx when trying to log in Wait a while and try again. There seems to be a disruption in service at this time. * https://status.dropbox.com/

@"pesjb" wrote:No I'm not certain but that could be the issue. Everything I'm reading seems to imply that requesting such reports is intended for Business accounts, as personal accounts (intended for individuals and not businesses) would have little need for such reports. I'd try submitting your request again, and ask if…

@"dmi1" wrote:So I was sent a link to the remote directory ... You were likely sent a view-only shared link, which does not allow you to upload or edit the content of the folder. If you need to upload files to someone else, they either need to send you an Edit shared link, invite you to a shared folder, or they can send…

@"pesjb" wrote:Yes, no one has responded. Are you on a Business account?

@"jacobg6" wrote:Is it possible to mirror/sync the contents of these two folders, so that the same files are always in both? Dropbox doesn't do that. You'd have to use a third-party utility to keep two separate folders in sync. If you're on Windows, Microsoft's SyncToy could do it. "Due to a Dropbox limitation, your files…

@"Trader" wrote:Due to my work, I would like to use 1 account on 20 computers (VPS). Which is the package in which this can be done? Freelance? Any paid account can be used on an unlimited number of linked devices. Only the free Basic plan has a limit of three linked devices.

@"pesjb" wrote:I need to obtain a copy of the SOC2 Report. I do not have a sales manager. I tried contacting before and no one has responded. You've contacted the Sales team using this page? They're the only ones that can provide this information.

@"MindClash" wrote: I've just canceled my Plus sub via Apple's App Store, but I still cannot change it to the Family plan in Dropbox web portal. What should I do? You need to wait until your account downgrades back to Basic at the end of your billing period, and then you'll be able to subscribe to the Family plan on the…

@"Sarah Contreras" wrote:The thing it's that I don't have any document in the cloud and still looking FULL, like I'm using my 2 GB of storage of my basic account. Check your Backups page.

@"karrie" wrote:I feel like I gave all the relevant information. What's missing that you need? Thanks! It's your entire question. It just doesn't seem related to Dropbox. Is there a way to accept all changes and stop tracking for all documents in a Dropbox folder? Dropbox doesn't have functionality that would require you…

@"LABurris" wrote:If the link has already been sent, can I restrict to view only? No. If you go into the Share sheet for a file you'll see a drop-down field where you can specify Can View or Can Edit. The links created for each method (viewing or editing) are separate from each other. If you want to change from view to…

@"dmi1" wrote:I'm trying to upload files to a Remote Directory in Dropbox that was shared with me. But I am unable to upload anything in there. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Is this a shared folder that you've been invited to? If so, do you have enough space available in your account for the files you're…

@"LABurris" wrote:I want to share a folder with excel docs, images, etc.. I want the recipients to be able to download the data, but I don't want them to make changes and save to the original dropbox folder I shared. Send the recipients a view-only shared link. They'll be able to view and download the content, but won't be…

@"j0r0b0" wrote: that’s what I don’t understand. Where can I put that information in before it’s finally submitted? There is no option to rename a file or enter file information in that process. You would need to find a way to name/rename the file on your device before you upload it. That's something unrelated to Dropbox.…

@"lwalker0312" wrote:One more question - everyone should be able to view documents within folders I share, regardless of whether they have a dropbox account (and limited storage on their personal account) or not correct? If you're using a shared folder, no. Each member of a shared folder needs their own account and enough…

@"Malnora" wrote:I've always been able to login with just email and password, but now a decade later it is wanting me to enter in a 6 digit code sent to the email associating with the account that I no longer have access to. Unfortunately, your email address is the only way to verify an account. If you no longer have…

@"jmillanq" wrote:How can I tell dropbox to update those files and not create the "conflicted copy" files? That's not an option. Dropbox will create a conflicted copy whenever a file has changed in multiple locations. There's no way to tell Dropbox to update such files automatically.
