Thanks for all your kind words, @kengmod17! Wishing you all the best, too. 😊 If you encounter a similar issue again, you can let us know here.

Hi @Susanoo, and welcome to the Community. My understanding is that you’ve already checked the spam folder of your Dropbox email address, and there’s no code there either. Correct? Please also make sure to add no-reply@dropbox.com to your email contacts and try to send the one-time code once again. In case none of the…

Thanks for replying back as well, @kengmod17! To be honest, the older issue that you mention doesn’t sound related to this one, so it must be something different indeed. Can you open a different browser on your computer now and let me know if you’re still getting the same error? If you are, I can log a ticket for you and…

Hey @gtrcoop, hope it’s OK if I jump in here, too. Regarding your first question, that’s correct. When you share a folder/file this way, the users will need to have a Dropbox account of their own, as this is the only way they can access the content. As for your second question, you’re also right. When you send a shared…

Hi @kengmod17, and thanks for posting on our forum. The error message that you’re getting sounds like the one mentioned here. Is this the first time you’re encountering such an issue on your Dropbox account? If yes, then the ban should be automatically lifted within 24h. Regarding the email with further instructions that…

Welcome back to the forum, @Ken R.7! Can you clarify what steps you followed exactly to have the Dropbox folder saved on your external SSD? Did you do it this way, or did you choose the location via the “Advanced settings” link, when installing the Dropbox app and signing in? As for the incident that you mention, did…

Hey @georgecheese ! Welcome to our Community. Just to confirm, you mean that you’ve moved your Dropbox folder to an external drive with these steps. Correct? Since you mention running the beta build, which is experimental, I’d like you to switch over to the stable version instead, as a test. To do this, please turn early…

Hi from me too, @motoGiS ! Just like Megan mentioned, this is an expected behavior, so there’s not really a bug to fix here. Your Dropbox mobile and desktop apps are continuously checking for any new photos that have been uploaded to your device(s) and they add them to your Dropbox account, like they should, when you have…

Thanks for posting on our Community today, @emb2024. Can you please clarify what's the plan of the Dropbox account in question? Is it on a personal subscription, like Dropbox Plus or Essentials for example, or is it part of a Dropbox team? As for the email address that’s linked to it, can you sign in and access it…

Thanks for posting on our Community, @scottb5612! Welcome aboard. Can you go to your General tab here and enable the “Online-only files on Mac” setting that’s located at the bottom of the page? This should help you understand how much space your offline files are taking up (as it shows your online-only files with 0 bytes…

Thanks for your post, @Novaklone. What you’re experiencing sounds like expected behavior, I’m afraid. If you’re trying to back up the main computer folders of your device (Desktop, Documents, Downloads), which are usually saved on your C: drive, then the Dropbox folder will also need to be saved at the same default…

Hi @Johsar! Thanks for posting on our forum today. I’m glad to hear that searching on our Community is normally working for you again. As for your desktop app, does this dialog appear after taking a specific action on your Dropbox app, or does it show up randomly on your screen? Does it mention anything else, besides…

Since we’ll need to investigate this and our forum will be soon undergoing some updates, I recommend visiting the following channels for further help: • Dropbox Support • Dropbox Help Center • Dropbox Learn • Our social channels (X, Facebook, or Instagram) Thanks for your understanding.

Sorry for jumping in here. I just wanted to mention that our Community will be undergoing a few…

Hola @Kim83, gracias por tu mensaje. Ten en cuenta que con Dropbox Básico/Plus, solo puedes recuperar archivos y carpetas eliminados hace 30 días. Lamentablemente, no se puede recuperar nada que se haya eliminado antes. Siento darte esta mala noticia. ---------- Hi @Kim83, and thanks for your post. Please keep in mind that…

Hey @"calsccostudio"! If you’ve already double checked the “All apps”/”Applications” section on your Windows/Mac device, we’ll need to look into this further and check what else may be happening. However, since our forum will be going through a few updates from today till 04/08, you can visit the following for further…

Hi @Nidas, and thanks for your post. In order for our team to keep track of your idea, and also give our users a chance to vote it, you’ll need to post it under our Ideas board here. Thanks for your understanding!

Thanks for letting me know, @"allyinsf"! I just logged a ticket for you. Please reply back to it and we’ll go from there.

Hi again, @SophiaP! Thanks for the additional details. Since the main issue is happening on your Files app (which is built and maintained by Apple), there isn’t much troubleshooting we can provide here unfortunately. Based on your post though, I’m wondering if this has to do with the editing tool that you’re using (as you…

Hey @"kevlevy", if you’re still encountering this behavior, don’t hesitate to send us more details and we’ll be glad to look into it.

Hi @"spencer82", and thanks for your post. Is this happening on multiple browsers? If you have the desktop app installed on your device, can you open one of your Excel files locally with Microsoft Excel and let me know what you see then? Other than that, I’d like a screenshot of what you see when visiting the version…

Thanks for the screenshot, @"knowsray"! Can you perhaps send me a full visual of where you see this error message exactly? I’d also like a screenshot of what you see here.

Alright, in this case I suggest doing a basic reinstall next. If this doesn’t work either, please go ahead and perform an advanced reinstall with the steps outlined here. Keep me posted for any updates.

I’m glad to hear that seemed to help a bit, even though I understand it may not be the most ideal workaround. As for your new projects, the only way to know for sure is by adding them to Dropbox and working on them; we can’t be certain otherwise, unfortunately. And thanks for clarifying what I asked! All good.

Thanks for the nudge, @"allyinsf"! It looks like the thread I previously linked has been archived in the meantime. If you’ve tried any other troubleshooting steps so far, can you let me know what these are, to see what else I can suggest for you?

Hey @"Yehuda D."! When did you first opt to ignore these files? I’d also like a screenshot of the ignore rules you’ve set for them, as well as one more showing how they appear within your Dropbox folder (feel free to send me a visual of your desktop app’s syncing status, as well).

Thanks for your post on our forum, @"Frogbert"! If you copy one of your InDesign files, paste it out of the Dropbox folder and try to open it then, are you still experiencing the same issues? I’ve also located your ticket with our support team in the meantime and left an internal note to them on your behalf. I can see that…

Hey @"Laksshya"! Did you try the recommendation Hannah provided? Can you let us know how it went? If the issue has been resolved in the meantime, feel free to share what worked for you.

Hey @"Smaranzky", just checking to see if you’re still having trouble with this. If you are, please send us the details Megan asked for previously.
