Which ones in particular, Brian?

Dropbox announced at the start of September that they would be discontinuing the rendering of HTML files as of October 1st due to abuse. Its not a bug, its deliberate - HTML files now download rather than get displayed in the browser.

How can they be "hiding the ball" when they explicitly warn you of that possibility when you accept the invite?!

See my answer in the other thread - the Business upgrade gives the Business admin access to everything.

Richard P. · ‎10-03-2016

The upgrade to Business converts the *entire* Team account to a Business one - the person doing the upgrade becomes the Business admin, and that admin has full 100% access to all files in the entire Business account, including any files held outside of the Team folder in third party accounts that have been converted to a Business license in the process. If you don't want that to happen, use a second account for your Teams use or create a new Personal account during the Teams onboarding process.

You shouldnt need to upgrade as even Basic accounts get 30 days to restore old versions and deleted files.

There were also several 5GB promotional space awards around, which will now have expired.

The Dropbox cache folder does not count against your quota, so clearing the cache wont do anything- you really shouldnt be messing around in that folder, Dropbox is using that folder for its own stuff, hence the random file names (they are file parts that Dropbox uses to sync, related to the files in your Dropbox folder).

Richard P. · ‎10-01-2016

That is correct and that is precisely why it says it - if a member decides to upgrade the team to a Business account, they become admin and can see your personal files. That is why that warning exists.

I'm afraid you have misunderstood what Dropbox is - you arent removing the files from your hard disk, because Dropbox is a syncing system, not a remote drive. The files in your Dropbox folder are still there on your computer, taking up the same space they always do. So it sounds like you are running out of space on your local computer - Dropbox cant help you with that.
