"Clearly trivial to implement" One of my favourite lines on the forums.... You could of course always write it yourself via the API if its so trivial?

What happens to my photos now? Are they deleted? As per the other posts and threads they stay on your account to download. Dropbox does not automatically delete them, but you will need to remove them from Dropbox at some point as the T&C's do state they can, if they wish, remove them. I cannot understand why a company that…

You need to make sure on your computer you are logged in and connected to the account with the 1TB upgrade. Unlink the Dropbox from your computer and then relink with the one you log in on line with. 

Robert - log a ticket then as has been directed via the website. Also make sure, which I'm sure you've done, that it isnt in junk etc. 

It wouldnt speed it up, no, as your ticket is already in the support queue assigned to whatever account level you are in. You would need to upgrade, close your ticket and re-open a new one to benefit from it. 

John - thats something you need to ask whomever manufactures the OS for your phone. I suggest using google to do so.

www.dropbox.com/help/400 www.dropbox.com/events to see whats happened. Unfortunately they are only recoverable for 30 days. And, are you sure you've not actually set up a second account?

Thats an issue with your installation Jim. Not Dropbox. For some reason your computer hasn't associated .doc etc. with Word properly. You need to google/ask Microsoft for help with that. 

Does each file sharing member have to fork out the $99 each Yes - basically. Every person within a share needs enough quota to access the share. If the share is under the amount of data in their account, however, they wont - e.g. if they've extra space via referrals / promos etc. 

www.dropbox.com/support to log it and http://dropbox.zendesk.com to track - note that replies will take a few working days. 

They MUST install Dropbox on to a unique computer. So if they installed an APP from an APP STORE to a mobile/tablet etc. that does not qualify under the terms of the promotion. 

If you log on and see 2gb you are logging in with a different account to the one your 1TB is stored on. You can prove that by logging in and going to the Dropbox home page from the app/client and it will have different data. [This thread is now closed by moderators due to inactivity. If you're experiencing a similar…

Vivek - the reason is Space race expired. So your quota was, rightly, reduced.

Usually that means you've not connected to a WiFi network.

Its restrictions Apple have in place Mie. You may want to install Dropbox on a computer and then connect the iPhone there where it maybe quicker

Local content disappears (e.g. if you've marked things as a favourite)

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app?

The previous versions will be attached to the original file's name. Go back to the original files names for the previous versions. The new named file is a new file, so has no history. 

No it wont :)

Ah, sorry Matteo, I didnt see this was in the API forum.

All Beta releases are public. See https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/201820745-Experimenal-Build-3-1-270 for info. This is a newer version though. For info beta versions are always odd numbered clients (e.g. 3.1.x, 3.3.x etc.) and stable even number (e.g. 3.0.x, 3.2.x etc.)

It was something that was being implemented in the last version of the beta releases so I'd assume its coming shortly....

Do you leave your Mac on? If it sleeps it stops syncing - as sleep makes everything stop

the expectation of the majority of cloud storage users is that personal quotas is one thing and any connection to a shared folder is completely separate. And? Sorry but really what does somebody's expectations have to do with it? I expect the Government to not screw me over, however, the do so constantly. Asking people if…

The model all other cloud services I know of, where you pay for space and you can share it with others, but they don't have to pay for that privilege is transparent, and obvious. You mean a lot of the other cloud services that have gone under? Copy.com for example. I'll spend my money where the T's & C's are clear and…

I totally disagree Ben, sorry. At no point, at all, does Dropbox make ANY association or offer that joining a share will not use up your space. The issue is people just assume that it will work how they want it to work without actually doing any due diligence or simple research to see what actually is the case. 

Adam - then pay for an upgrade or use a different service. Dropbox are quite within their rights to restrict the service however they like to free users. I'll use an analogy Ive used before... cars. A Dacia and a Porsche do exactly the same thing. Yet one charges for 'simple' features like electric windows and central…

It simply makes no sense that a folder someone shares with you counts towards your quota It does. Its perfectly sensible. It is to stop people stacking accounts and because every single device costs money. Dropbox doesn't just pay for MB of storage but every time your device connects to and from its servers. So more shares…

Jacob - deleted files do not use quota, hence why they dont tell you how to remove deleted files to free up quota.... The ONLY files using up quota are 'active' ones you can see at www.dropbox.com/home
