I upload .JPG and .MP4 (H.264) 1920x1080 files all the time. I discovered there is an Edit toolpn Dropbox that allows Rotating MP4 files. I have a program I edit the audio in the videos with, but it corrupts the file orientation. There are reasons why but I am not asking about that. Today, for the first time, I discovered…
Hi, Dropbox is about to delete files from my account because it says I'm 7.36 GB over my 23.75 GB quota even though I don't even have files that use that much space in my account. 7.36 GB is more so the amount of storage I'm using in total. Please help me fix this issue.
My Dropbox Basic account is over its storage limit because an approximately 4 GB backup from another PC is still taking up space. I have already unlinked that PC from my Dropbox account, but the backup remains and continues to count toward my storage quota. I am not able to delete it. How can I permanently delete this…
I just recently logged into my dropbox and seems like all files and folders gone, I do not have a lot of large files, so the storage should have been ok. I got emails from dropbox saying that I still have space, but never got any email that I was over the limit and needed to upgrade. How to restore files as it looks like…
Use Dropbox all the time for work, I have a 2TB plan. I sent something earlier to a client and added it to my dropbox via the desktop app (Mac) and send it with no issues. Had to make a change and went to upload the revised file and was met with an error message saying that I could not sync the file as I was now using 6.44…
Starting from a fresh install of Dropbox (after a fresh install of macOS Sequoia), I'm experiencing a major Dropbox problem: Initially all my Dropbox files are absent So initially Spotlight thinks there are no files, so the entire Dropbox file structure is invisible This means I can't search for a file I have in mind …but…
I haven't been able to open dropbox links that my coworkers share with me on our shared dropbox team account in the finder for several days now. The option just disappeared. Tried all the usual stuff, resetting dropbox, uninstalling/reinstalling, logging out/logging back in, restarting computer, using a different browser,…
Having trouble permanently deleting files from dropbox to save space. Most files I delete do not even show up in the “deleted files” on the dropbox.com site and ones that do, when I hit permanently delete tab, it is deleted but with message that “the file is lost forever but this does not free up storage space”.– the…
Dropbox Fax stores local data (like confimations of faxes sent) in a HelloFax folder in Dropbox root folder. That is prime real estate and you should be able to change the default folder location to anywhere within your Dropbox.
I'm running Dropbox (paid personal account) on Windows 10 (version 10.0.19045.7291) and the right-click context menu has completely disappeared from Windows Explorer. The sync overlay icons (green checkmarks etc.) are still showing correctly, but no Dropbox options appear when right-clicking files or folders. Here's…
The Dropbox desktop app has a limit on the number of files it can sync to a computer. When I signed in, the app told me "Dropbox can't sync over 500,000 files to this computer" and asked me to choose folders. But the Selective Sync window only shows the size of each folder, not how many files it contains. Size says very…
In Windows, when I right-click a file in File Explorer and choose Copy Dropbox link, the link goes straight to the clipboard. Nothing shows whether it is a view link or an edit link.
In the Dropbox desktop app for Windows, the Preferences window, Selective Sync and Manage hard drive space have a fixed size. They cannot be resized or maximised. With a large Dropbox, going through the folder lists in Selective Sync means a lot of scrolling in a small window, and longer folder names are cut off. It is…
Currently, opening a Markdown (.md) file in the Dropbox mobile app only displays the raw text code. Markdown has been a web and documentation standard for many years, used universally across platforms like GitHub, Notion, Obsidian, and forums. With the rise of AI/LLMs, notes and generated content in .md format are more…
