Change log!?

You can set it so that they cannot share THAT ONE SPECIFIC folder. But there is *nothing* to stop them copying the files to another folder and sharing a link to that.

The issue was fixed in the next release (i.e. in October) I'm afraid Joe hence no more posts. Therefore the issue is not this one. Have you made sure you have location services turned on for Dropbox on your phone?

You are welcome. But just to add. Please remember that NOTHING can ever stop somebody who wants to pass something on. Even with sharing controls

See https://www.dropbox.com/help/files-folders/shared-links And you'll need a Professional or higher account to do it

You can download files that are sync'd you just need to tap on the ... first. See: That is for an Excel spreadsheet which IS downloaded locally. I clicked on the file which opened it in Excel online and then clicked on the ...'s to get that menu. Not very user friendly I agree though. OR If you want to download multiple…

You cant I'm afraid - everything on the internet (not just Dropbox) is shareable if they have the link. So, the only way to stop it is to make sure the other person doesnt pass it on. You could add passwords etc. to the link or file, but, that doesnt stop the other person sending it. You could also put it in a Shared…

No it doesnt, sorry.

Out of interest does the same thing happen in other applications (e.g. Word?)

No, sorry. The only work around would be to edit it yourself so it became Modified by you on the date you did it on.

Public is the old terminology for how you used to share files - it was within a folder called "Public" hence why it still gets used occasionally.

It works exactly as the help links above show.... you create a link to a file or folder and then ANYBODY with that link can access that file. It is not, however, searchable via Google etc. nor is it editable and the only thing they can access is that file/folder nothing else. With paid accounts you can put additional…

I suggest speaking to the Microsoft people about the error sebrame - maybe contact their forums?

Sadly, from looking round here you are.... SOMETHING on your network is blocking Dropbox - your ISP maybe? Your corporate filtering if at work?

Can you post exact software version numbers?

They will need to get admin privileges then to do the install - even if they are given just temporarily.

The option to open files with is handled by iOS so that is something which you need to change within the Apple software. Dropbox doesnt control who takes the files

The issue isnt with Dropbox if you opened the files in Adobe, its an Adobe one. 

Try selective sync: https://www.dropbox.com/help/175

Potential Bug - renaming a file on the web interface causes the pop up on my Mac desktop client to say '2 files changed'. Able to consistently replicate.

There is - if you do it as we've said. Reading your last post you have sent a read only shared link ( https://www.dropbox.com/help/files-folders/shared-links ) rather than a shared folder ( https://www.dropbox.com/help/files-folders/shared-or-private-folder )

Make sure all firewalls etc. are off and try an advanced install: https://help.dropbox.com/desktop-web/advanced-reinstall

Dont use their Apple ID - you need to use the email address they've set up Dropbox with.

As long as you add them to the share Matthew, and they accept, it will auto appear on their iOS devices :)

It has been cleared up already. If it says "completed" you have referred your maximum. That means 32 people have signed up using your link and you've been awarded the full 16gb.

You'll need to a ticket I'm afraid. Nobody here can assist as its a public forum.

Simply put: -too many people are viewing them constantly OR -the files have been blocked for another reason (virus/DCMA take down/illegal etc.) The only thing to do is contact www.dropbox.com/support and ask for help. Once the ticket is…

Due to the fact they are current pulling support for various OS's I suspect you are not going to be able to get this running I'm afraid. Sorry :(

It didnt mention it Bob because it officially has never actually worked on Dropbox - it was (and always has been) unsupported. If it did work it was accidental. www.dropbox.com/help/3 tells you what is, and what is not, supported.

They can be. But if they arent you need to tell them it isnt working. Did you not think of testing them? If you do want to cancel you can do so at www.dropbox.com/downgrade. However, please remember you will keep the subscription space you have until the payment term runs out. You do not get any pro-rata refunds.
