Hey @"nbd-uk" - thanks for bringing this to our attention. Can you please clarify if this is the first time this happened for you and if you have received an email from Dropbox informing you about it perhaps? Also, are you getting this error only when accessing your shared links to your files and not the actual files - is…

I see, thanks for clarifying that for us @"TERRACE_87" - Have you tried another browser since you first noticed this?

Hey @"GilbertX" - I'm not sure I quite understand the issue here. Can you clarify what you mean when you say that explorer copies Dropbox folders to another device? Can you send us a couple of screenshots of the steps you take and how the folders you're deleting look on your end? A screenshot of the exact error you're…

I see, thanks for keeping me in the loop on this @"craigsfowler" - much appreciated. If this becomes too much of an issue in the future, please feel free to reach out and we'll take it from there.

Hey @"Lil7" - thanks for the additional information there. Do you happen to have another Dropbox account, associated with a different email address of yours perhaps? Also, can you clarify if you're using the Dropbox desktop app as well or if you're just using a web browser to access your Dropbox files? Is the email address…

Hey @"Jack D-77" - thanks for flagging this with us. I've just followed up via email to have a further look internally with account and device specific information, so please take a look at your inbox and we'll take it from there. While we're at it, I'm sorry for the late response here, but are you still having issues with…

Hey there @"scfo" - thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this with us. From what I gather you're looking for something like the Dropbox Badge, but for FileMaker 11 instead - am I on the right track? Just to clarify, are you all part of the same Dropbox team account or are you using individual accounts…

Thanks for clarifying that for us @"guilhermesv" - let us know if anything else comes up in the future! 

Thanks for the additional information and the screenshot too @"mhuang45" I'm afraid that there's not much we can do from our end to restore the account or any of the files that were stored in it at this point since the account was permanently deleted after being in locked state, as the email you found mentions. I wish I…

I see, thanks for keeping me in the loop on this and let me know if you have anything to ask or add in the meantime @"OwenVancouver" If you'd like to, you can also share your ticket ID with us here so that we can look it up in our system as well, if needed. 

Hi there @"Tsoilihoi" - thanks for bringing this to our attention. Could you clarify the version and status of the Dropbox desktop app as shown in your taskbar and send us a couple of screenshots of the issue? While we're at it, is it possible that you're using this version of the app? Any additional information you can…

Hey @"Francois4" & @"TheFieldMarshall" - In order for us to determine if this is an issue related to your user profile, could you please create a brand new local Operating System user profile with administrator rights in which you try to reproduce the behavior? Let us know how it goes and we'll take it from there. 

Thanks for the screenshot and please let us know of any updates when you get the chance @"_MKT" 

I see, thanks for the additional screenshot @"msakten" - much appreciated. I just took a look at our system and I can see that you're already in touch with a member of our support team about this, so I passed your comments on to them and they'll be getting back to you shortly. Let me know if you have anything else to add…

Can you send me a screenshot (omitting any personal info) of your account settings where the 'early releases' toggle is shown then @"msakten"? 

Hey @"OwenVancouver" - when you say team, are you all part of the same Dropbox for teams account or are you using individual accounts? Did you try reaching out to our support team directly for further assistance since you first noticed this? 

Hey @"Dawn H" - thanks for letting us know about this and the screenshot too. Can you clarify your computer's OS version, and the version/status of the Dropbox desktop app as shown in your system tray? 

I see, thanks for the additional details @"Alpow" Since this is the first time this happens, it should get sorted in about 24 hours since you first received the error. Let me know if anything else comes up in the meantime. 

Yes, you can find more information about this here, Elijah. Could you have a look and let me know if it helps at all? Based on your screenshot, the file-path's length might be an issue here, that's why renaming the file to shorten the path could help in this case. Otherwise, you can try copying or moving the file to a…

Yes, I'd need a screenshot of the file showing up on the end of the person who uploaded it (and/or can see it on the website and/or the desktop app) so that we can have visual too @"Elijah Davis"? Did you try renaming the file by any chance? 

Thanks for the update on this - much appreciated. Do you happen to have a screenshot of the exact error it's giving @"Elijah Davis"?

Hi there @"Alpow" - sorry to hear about this. Is this the first time you're getting this error? Did you receive an email from Dropbox about this perhaps? Let us know more and we'll take it from there.

Hello there @"Ember1" - thanks for posting in our Community and sorry to hear you're having issues with this. When you say you're transferring files, can you please clarify the steps you take to do this and if you're using the Dropbox website or the Dropbox desktop app? A screenshot of what's troubling you would also help!…

Hey @"HF6" - sorry to hear you're having issues with this. Can you please clarify your computer's OS version and the version and exact status of the Dropbox desktop app as shown in your menu bar/system tray? Also, can you send us a screenshot of how your files in the Dropbox folder show on your computer to check their…

Hey @"MasumaT" - thanks for posting on our Community and happy Friday! While this isn't possible at this time, I found this idea which echoes your request if you'd like to take a look, share your own thoughts there and up-vote it to show your interest as well. I hope this helps a tad. 

Hey there @"IDasGupta" - thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this. Just to confirm, are you referring to the Dropbox desktop app or the Dropbox mobile app instead? What is the OS of your devices and the file types you'd like to see this work with? Any additional information is more than welcome! 

We're glad to hear it's sorted now and thanks for keeping us in the loop too @"Karen E." Let us know if anything else comes up in the future and have a lovely weekend!
