Hello, and welcome to the Dropbox Community if this is your first time here đ If youâre new here, and you have a question you want to ask, you can do that here, just click âStart a discussionâ, and Community members and Dropbox staff can help you out. We see a lot of questions about copying and sharing links, so we wanted to make a definitive guide to using links with Dropbox. Whether itâs sharing access to a file in Dropbox, or sharing a link to a Paper doc, it never hurts to refresh on the different ways you can copy links, share access, or even pick up new tips and tricks to save you time. How to share a link from Dropbox If you want to share a link to a file or folder from Dropbox, and send it to someone else, just follow these steps. Sign in to dropbox.com, or open your Dropbox desktop app. Click All files in the left sidebar. Hover over the name of the file or folder you'd like to share and right click, and select Share. Click Copy link. The link will be copied to your clipboard. You can then paste it to an email, a message or saved for your own use later. A question weâve gotten a few times is âwhere is the clipboard that a link is copied to?â and the answer is - itâs invisible. Your link is waiting to be pasted, but isnât visible until you paste it somewhere. How to share a link from your phone or tablet If you need to share a a link when youâre on the move, or working from a mobile device, itâs almost the same, just follow these steps. Navigate to the file or folder you want to share. Tap ââŠâ (ellipsis). Tap Share. Tap Create a link. If a link was already shared to this file or folder, tap Share next to Anyone with the link can view. Select the way you'd like to share the link from the options. Copying and sharing a link to a Dropbox Paper document: 1. If you want to share a Paper document with someone, you can click the âShareâ button at the top of the screen, and copy the link there, or select the person you want to share the file with and they will be notified and given access. 2. To make it a little easier to share, you can also copy a link to a Paper document with one click, by pressing the little link symbol in the right hand corner of the document. If you paste this link to the paper document elsewhere in a Dropbox file, or an integrated app, it will appear in a neat format, with a + sign in front of it, rather than a huge url. 3. Like any link on the internet, you can right click on the url of a Paper document, and select copy like you do anywhere else, however this link is only usable for you (itâs based on your account), so you can save it elsewhere if you want to access it later.

Hi folks, Iâm Anastasia and Iâm part of a team focused on delivering a better admin experience for teams. We are thrilled to announce that weâve updated the admin console! Our team has been hard at work developing this based on feedback from our admins, and we can't wait for you to try it out and share some feedback with us. đ The changes to the admin console make it easier for you to: Tackle to-dos on the Dashboard homepage Protect your teamâs content, with enhanced monitoring and settings on the Security page Manage member access to folders and add-ons on the Members page Some changes youâll want to know about: Weâve replaced the Insights page with a new Dashboard homepage Our activity logs are now all under Security (formerly in the Activity page) We hope you love it, but please share any and all feedback with us so that we can make the admin console the best it can be. Thank you for your continued support! Anastasia6.8KViews6likes11CommentsWe are on the Advanced plan for business team - do we really have unlimited storage?
I hope I'm doing this correctly as I am new to this but - have I misunderstood something? The reason I'm paying the $75.00 a month is for unlimited storage for my partners and I to have space to store the gigantic wav libraries we tend to accumulate producing various music projects. Did all of us misread something or is the Dropbox unlimited storage similar to your phone carrier's unlimited data. If that is the case I think $75.00 is an astronomical amount of money to be paying for only 3TB. That's highway robbery! Apple costs less per TB. We initially read seperatley then together all the info provided and came to the conclusion that unlimited storage means unlimited storage. I remember reading about 3TB but we would be given more as needed. If there is a part of the guide I misread or the help section or something that anyone knows about it would mean the world. Thank You.Solved6.7KViews0likes6CommentsFolders not visible to Admins
We have outsourced the Team Admin role on our business account to a 3rd party. We want to see the totality of folders and subfolders etc. that have been created in our Dropbox Business Standard account. Our Team Admin says they can't see all root level folders unless they have been given specific permission to view them. Is that correct? Is there a way for an Admin to see all folders that have been created without having to assign them read permissions to every folder? How can we assign permissions to folders we can't see and don't know if they exist?Solved5.9KViews0likes8CommentsIntroducing:: The updated Insights Dashboard
Overview The new Insights dashboard helps team admins navigate through large amounts of data by highlighting the most important and interesting stats about their team, and offering relevant drill down options. Accessed via the Insights tab on the left in the Admin console, the new dashboard provides a quick and easy way of understanding how Dropbox is being used and whatâs its value to an organization. It surfaces key elements and facilitates further investigation of them through the new activity page, while also distilling large amounts of data into accessible and digestible charts. The new dashboard will provide admins better visibility in the areas of Control, Security and the overall state of their team. Audience All teams Coming SoonâŠ. Stay tuned for further updates and inclusions to the dashboard very soonâŠ3.3KViews6likes0CommentsIntroducing:: On Team / Off Team viewer info
Overview Viewer info now shows whether a person who has viewed a file is a member of a Dropbox Business team or not. This allows Team Admins to invite people to join their team, regular team members to suggest people that should be invited to a team, and non-team members to request to join a team - all directly from a file they are viewing. Audience All teams For more details on viewer info see check out this article on Dropbox Help Center3.1KViews1like0CommentsIntroducing:: Data Governance Add-Ons
Overview 10 Year Extended Version History An accountâs version history depends on the type of Dropbox account. Dropbox Business teams can purchase an extended version history add-on that allows them to recover any file/folder deleted or changed in the last 10 years. Legal Holds Legal Holds is a feature available to Dropbox business teams that have purchased the Data Governance add-on. Placing a legal hold on a team member or a number of team members allows team admins to hold all content a team member(s) views or modifies regardless of their actions on the content. Members affected by a legal hold will not be notified of the hold and will still maintain their permissions to create, edit, delete, and even permanently delete files. Audience All teams Currently, these add-ons can only be purchased through an Account Executive with Dropbox Sales. If you do not already have an account executive, you can contact the team via this form or call 1 855-237-6726.3.1KViews4likes0CommentsAdmin Console Questions
In Admin Console, under Members, I see "People with your team's email domain" and "People your team works with". Both of these areas show lists of people who are either no longer with my company or we no longer work with them. I can't seem to figure out what is causing users to show up in these areas. How do I track this down and remove these users so that they no longer show up. Thank you3KViews0likes8CommentsApr 20 2024 Team Folder / Personal Folder Update is affecting my workflow
RE https://help.dropbox.com/plans/upcoming-business-team-changes#beforechecklist This has created a HUGE NIGHTMARE!!! Have called into support and created several tickets to this but doesn't seem there's any urgency or response from the 'escalation team' 1. As an ADMIN I cannot see or manage ALL of the folders and files in our Dropbox account because of the Team and Personal Folders - So now I can't see what data is being duplicated and increasing our storage. 2. As an ADMIN I cannot move data from a Team Folder. Also cannot COPY data out of a Team Folder, can only move or copy into another Team Folder 3. Paths and mappings have been ruined to our local data and Synology NAS devices using Cloud Sync. - Now this requires us choking our bandwidth for days/weeks so that we can restore our local data.3KViews1like8Comments
