My organization uses dropbox Business and it's extremely embarassing when I send file requests to clients OR when I send them a password protected shared folder. Instead of seeing our logo branded (or even dropbox's logo which only appears very small in the top left corner) and any indication of professionalism or security, all they see is the image of a dinosaur whispering in someone's ear (when a shared folder) OR my name and "drop some stuff here." I can't continue file sharing this way with clients and need to switch to using One Drive so my clients will finally take us seriously.

The password pages are not professional. Nor is the File request page. Please add custom branding so we can send file requests and shared folders to clients.

Thanks for posting here, @cakbots!

 

Since you're on a Business plan, you should be able to customize your file requests and add your own branding with these steps

 

Can you please check them out and let me know if they help with what you'd like to achieve? 

 

Keep me posted.

Nancy, 

 

Thanks so much for your reply. I checked in settings/team profile and I already have my company logo set up in external branding. Nonetheless, the file request still looks like this:

Hey @cakbots, since the screenshot you sent us, doesn't show the expected behavior your recipient should be seeing, can you try re-uploading your logo for branded sharing and refresh the page or try another browser, to see if that makes any difference?

It's all greyed out and won't let me click on anything or make a change. The logo and company name are in there though (redacted from photo). I logged in anew from a different browser with no cookies and got the same result. Screen Shot 2023-06-23 at 9.00.11 AM.png

re uploaded the background image and logo there. File request link is the same. Further, the "drag stuff here" (which is what it says on the file request website) is not something I can send my client when the whole selling point is professional 256 AES encryption.

Even just "drag and drop files here" would be great. Why would Dropbox Business choose to have it say "drag STUFF here"? Verbiage aside, I still can't seem to get the branding to appear.

Hey again, @cakbots

 

Can you also try opening an incognito window on your web browser and attempt to add your logo to your file requests from there? 

 

I'd like to see if that'll make any difference and help us isolate the issue.
