how do I get rid of this frustrating pop up when sharing a link with a client? We're a paid dropbox business member and I get a tonne of clients telling me they cant access the files because of this popup. Needs to able to be switch this off. I pay to have ability to share files externally so either make it free and keep the pop up, or let me turn it off. Thanks, so this thread, but not locked - https://www.dropboxforum.com/discussions/101001014/remove-loginsignup-dialog-box-from-shared-link-download/757059#M82871442Views8likes9CommentsI don't want to login/signup/copy to or copy link.
I'm using a personal setup with a Plus account, not planning to upgrade further. So within the Plus Account... I set this up to let a group of people view pdf's, photos, mp4s. NOT to link to them; they can share my link to the folders. I'm giving out a VIEW link and it allows downloads which is exactly what I want. I do not want them to join my folder. JUST to view them online or download them. From what I've seen every screen shows the line So&So shared this folder... (which is fine with me but the next part is not) I do not want the to Log in or Sign up. & I do not want 2 or the 3 button/boxes below that: Copy to Dropbox & Copy Link â because I don't want them to share the content. Does anyone know of any tip or trick to either hide these or nullify them? (Without an upgrade because the fees jump too drastically for this project.) I should mention that there are many friends that will View this content and Share it via my own link so giving each person a link would take major time. It's a privacy/respect-the-people thing.

This is the most important request ever! And it should be already implemented. Is to open dropbox links directly in explorer (windows) or in finder (mac), independent where the link is, whatsapp, slack, messenger, skype, any of then. Is a link, when i click today,. it always open the browser (Edge on Win and Safari on Mac), but should have an option, or in my point of view, the defult should be open in explorer/win and finder/mac. That is the way it should be. You can ask any computer user, and i know a lot ask for this and post helps about it. So, why still isn't like that? And most important, can you please do it fast? All community will give you a lot of love and more subscriptions back. Thank you!4.3KViews7likes2CommentsServer or network failed or the format is not supported error when viewing a video
I have been trying to view a video that was uploaded here but I keep getting the error message "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported." I then tried to download the video (using chrome) and it failed, saying that there was a server problem. I have tried changing my DNS settings, refreshing the page, checking to see if my browser is up to date, changed browsers, downloaded Quicktime player and VLC to try and view the video (it was captured on an iphone and is apparently an mp4 file), and even tried to disable adblock and got nothing. I'm tired of this and I just want to watch the video... What else can I do? Here is a link to the video https://www.dropbox.com/s/nru5e6j1ar2i5a9/VID_20220917_160014.mp4?dl=0Solved5KViews0likes6CommentsDropbox deleted files from a shared link
Hello everybody! I had a bunch of photos and videos on this account (aprox. 200). The photos were probably about 3-4 years old, and i would occasionally access them. Today when i wanted to see them again, the photos were gone. The only things left on my account are the pdfs, word files and archives. I still have some links of some of the photos, form a conversation where i shared them, but when i try to access them, i get the message that the file was deleted. -the files are not in the deleted files folder -i have no other account, where i could've saved the files -i am 100% sure i didn't accidentally deleted them -no other person has access to my account -i am not logged in on the mobile app Any ideas on how my files were deleted, or any suggestion on how to recover them would be appreciated. Thanks!Solved4.9KViews1like6Comments
