39 TopicsHow can I get people to access an account, and to edit a file on my account?
I'm brand new here and looking to do something very basic and simple. But have no clue what I am doing. I'm with a group called NAPS (Nebraska Association of Nebraska Santas). Yes a group of about 30 Santas. It's just a social club. We get together once a month, have meal and talk about Santa stuff. I'm looking to set something up for the group where we can place a few documents for everyone in the group to access. Membership roster, meeting minutes, etc. So far, I've started a free account (we have no dues, so we have no money). I want to set the account up so the default is that everything is read only, with a couple of people that have edit access. Also, to be able to change a single document to edit access to all. Also, trying to figure out once we send out emails, pointing to the account. What happens as each person clicks the link? Do they have to se tup an entire account to gain access? (keep in mind, we are a lot of old guys with limited computer experience. I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible) I've been looking over the documentation and such, but it's overkill. Much more complex than I need, so I'm getting lost in the technical jargon. Help? (it will help put you on the Nice list :) )64Views0likes6CommentsDon't Always Entice Logging In/Signing Up
I realize you are in this business to get users. However, there's a time and a place -- and at the TOP of MY pages, is NOT the place. I am paying to put files here for people to access and my users do not need to be members or, if they are members, they do not need to sign in. Having them be logged in is a complication. SO GIVE PAYING USERS THE OPTION TO NOT SHOW ALL YOUR LOGIN STUFF AT THE TOP. AT LEAST ENABLE US THE CHOICE TO SHOW YOUR LOGIN STUFF AT THE BOTTOM OF PAGES INSTEAD. This isn't a vanity thing. You seriously confuse people. The people I need to use this with are afraid of doing the wrong thing -- because you do not give them a clean interface.Solved35Views1like1CommentWhy does the Dropbox desktop app hijack my screenshots?
How to stop dropbox from taking my screenshots. The solutions privided do not work. There is no way to get the app to load on a mac. Opening the dropbox icon, which is supposed to open the app just opens the folder. The App never opens so the preferences section is never available to fix this screenshot hijacking issue. This is a known issue why is it not fixed?94Views0likes7CommentsI changed my e-mail address and now the Dropbox desktop app doesn't sync anymore

Unsure why, but a folder I generated online and then sent some files to, won't appear on any of the computers selective sync window. Using Mac latest version, 3.8.3. I can't untick that folder. I've tried renaming it, etc but it doesn't help.Solved36KViews2likes57CommentsI can't link my Yahoo mail to Dropbox
I Can not link my Yahoo mail to dropbox . Yahoo have removed the upside down v (next to the Attachment icon) that gave the option to Share from Dropbox . Does Dropbox now not support Yahoo mail or am I doing something wrong. Thank you for any help.Solved28KViews2likes20CommentsCannot view all my folders locally from the File Explorer, but can see them online.
Device N/A Operating System/Browser (if using the web) N/A Dropbox App Version (if using the app) N/A Syncing Status N/A Question or Issue Recently moved to new Windows 11 laptop. Able to download DB for desktop and also access DB via Edge. However, when I used File Explorer to view/add content to my folders, I can only see 9 of them (and I show 24 folders online). Saw a support article about Selective Sync. I've never used it. But in troubleshooting I thought I should at least check to see if it may have been a default. Cannot find it! So 2 questions: 1) how do I find SS? 2) how do I make sure all 24 folders are viewable on File Explorer and DB desktop app?232Views0likes4Comments
