It's not like they weren't told. The length, width, and depth of this thread alone should have been a clue. But they obviously DON'T CARE!!!! They don't care about whether what they sell is actually useful, they just care if they can sell it. Apparently.

I agree, bill-1234 Dropbox has now implemented SO MANY features that "break" existing applications and confuse people to no end that I wonder if they truly understand why people use Dropbox. If I wanted to use GoogleDrive with all its inherent limitations, I wouldn't be using Dropbox. -I don't want an "app" that opens all…

Yes, I completely agree with you. I also am eyeing the increasing bloatware that Dropbox is trying to force on us. As I said, they are trying to match the features of the other clouds, but for people like me, that's why I LIKED dropbox. It was simple and easy for what I needed to do. But the model these days seems to be…

I agree that the problem has not been solved, but indeed, there has been a couple of workarounds posted. Dropbox has already, by their silence over the YEARS that this has been an issue, determined that this will never be "solved" to our satisfaction. That's why I don't use Dropbox Business, and never will as long as they…

Thanks so much, XionicFire. If I ever decide to go back to Dropbox business I will definitely use these tricks to get rid of the $#%$^&^% space in the foldername. CJ

No updates that I'm aware of, and so I'm still avoiding Dropbox business. It's a shame for them - because they are losing income from me since I would pay for Dropbox business, but instead I use the free personal Dropbox. My understanding is they don't consider a space in the folder name an issue at all, and aren't…

Hi, ChrisLeathers. I appreciate your trying to help, but having another alias or a mapped drive to the folder with the space doesn't help the main issue. When backing up or transferring info to any unix-based operating system or website, the space is problematic. While a few programs that cannot access the folder with a…

That's a great question! I suppose they have better things to do than to cater to their customers. ;-> Keep in mind, of course, that this is only an issue with the Business version of Dropbox. An individual/Personal version of Dropbox has all the same capabilities except for "team management", and doesn't have the problem…

Hey @"Bigk71" , Welcome to the group. But I'm afraid your questions doesn't make any sense at all. You will have to give some context and make sure you are in the appropriate area. 

Actually, OneDrive is much much worse. You will be shocked at how poorly OneDrive is implemented, and how many limitations there are. My company keeps encouraging me to use OneDrive, and so I keep trying - but every time I run into yet another "problem" syncing and saving my files with OneDrive, I go back to DropBox, which…

This is a MAJOR issue to me. I teach information technology in the college of business, and I tell my students NEVER to put a space in a folder or filename because it causes SO MANY problems when moving between different operating systems. Why would Dropbox do this? I'm just now deciding upon whether or not to go with…

It doesn't look like anyone answered this, and I have experienced the same thing. In the end we found out that the problem was that the person who was sharing the file had run out of space. While I have several gigs of space on my dropbox, the people with whom I share files may only have the minimum (which I think might be…
