This has been complained about numerous times and it is absurd that Dropbox seemingly refuses to change this. I've received so many complaints from clients with regards to them claiming they need to signup/give a password to download my transfers because the scummy "Or continue with download only" text is easily missable. Just allow people to click the link, view the files, and download without logging in. What else do I pay Dropbox for? I will move to another service soon if this is not changed.44Views0likes1CommentWhy can users see my whole Dropbox account when I share just one folder link with them?
I have recently learned that when I share a folder with anyone, they can see all the folders and files in my Dropbox. How can I limit this so that people only see the folder I share with them?Solved19KViews0likes4CommentsHow sure how to set-up my Dropbox account, on my new mobile in order to see my files.
I know this probably has been asked before, but I have Dropbox on both my phone and laptop. I drowned my phone and the new phone set up via google restore has Dropbox loaded but I don't recognise the interface and cannot figure how to set it it up to see my existing folders and files. All the prompts on the phone interface seem to be upsells or lead to nowhere. I'm signed in but if I click on "Link your desktop" it prompts me to download Dropbox to my computer but I am afraid to do this as Dropbox is already in my computer (as an app? perhaps) and I fear losing my existing folders and files if Dropbox is downloaded (again? to my laptop). Can anyone assist me please? I'm not tech illiterate but cannot figure this one out.129Views0likes2CommentsMy Android photos won't upload to my Dropbox account and now, I can't sign back in either.
Android phots wont upload to drop box. Keep getting "failed fetching latest photos". Tried logging out and logging back in and now its saying "cant connect to drobox. Make sure your online". I don't understand because I am online and connected to the internet.Solved168Views0likes4CommentsCan I install the Dropbox desktop app on two separate Windows accounts?
Hello, I have all of my dropbox files synced from the cloud to my hard-drive. It's a 2nd drive I have rather than my main drive. I use my own Windows account account. My question is.... can my wife log in via HER Windows user account and also use the same dropbox account and the same files on our '2nd drive'? If she logs into dropbox with the same details as me but via HER Windows user account, can she just point dropbox to the 2nd drive as per me? ie. it wont try and start downloading everything again. Hope that made sense.Solved241Views0likes5CommentsChanging email address in Dropbox Business when sharing a file. Is it normal?
I have noted that if send out a file share to an employee using their company email account and that employee either saves it to his personal dropbox or to either his desktop or documents file which is set in his personal dropbox account to synchronise across his devices and dropbox that the email address for the invite in the business dropbox account changes to his personal email. Is this correct and Normal and are their any security settings that prevent this.84Views0likes1CommentI'm getting an error when trying to share a folder. What is happening?
Ho una cartella condivisa da diversi anni con altri 2 utenti, da qualche mese una delle 2 persone non accede più. Lo tolta ed ho cercato di reinserirla ma senza risultati. Mi da sempre errore che non posso aggiungere nessuno. Anche se lo condivido come link mi da lo stesso problema, posto una foto per farvi capire meglio .

Hello, I recently uploaded a .mov file into my new dropbox. I copied a link and made sure in the permissions that anyone with the link could view the video. I made sure it worked by opening the link in incognito and on another friend's device. The link worked as intended. However, today, the link says you need to sign in to protect the file. After signing in on a different account, it says you need to request permission to view the file. If I copy the "sharable link" on my original account again, this link works. But I need the older link that worked yesterday, under the SAME permissions, to work and allow anyone with it to view the file. Has anyone had a similar issue?Solved331Views0likes6Comments
