The recipients of my shared folders are moving files out of them. How can I stop that?
Device Multiple Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Multiple Dropbox App Version (if using the app) Multiple Question or Issue I provide image files to my clients by inviting them to DropBox folders I create for their specific company within my single user account. Often there are several contacts at one firm that all need access to the files. I set all permissions to View. Often clients do not realize that when they are clicking and dragging folders and image files they are in fact moving them out of the DropBox folder. How can I prevent this automatic click and drag move of files? Or, how can I tell when this happens so I can be more proactive in restoring these files and educating clients again about being aware of this issue? This is an incredibly tedious and frustrating quirk of DropBox. Thanks for any insights. Darren
Issue deleting a large number of files
Hi there. Sorry if a topic like this has already been made, but I require some assistance. See, I play a lot of PC games, but for some reason, Dropbox, or my computer, downloads any images that are seen in the game and has it saved here on Dropbox, which I absolutely do not need. When I saw that I went over the necessary amount of file storage, I tried deleting all of the images in my account, but it says its unable to. I don't know if its because there are so many files, or because of something else. If someone can show me an effective way to delete all of the files/image I have, or better yet, have Support or an Admin do it, I'd be greatly appreciative.
I keep seeing a pop-up message online that keeps appearing each time. Can I stop it?
For the past few days, when I log in to the web version of Dropbox.com, I get a pop-up message that says, "View files you have deleted - You can also easily restore or permanently delete them here." Even if I click the OK button, the message keeps appearing every time I log in. Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Thanks!
Can I recover my content after 30 days?
I had Dropbox on my work computer , personal laptop and iPhone and when I changed jobs my old company deleted the Dropbox files and it erased them on all devices. I had some irreplaceable pictures and files and they wonât recover trying on other devices. Iâve reached out to Dropbox support multiple times and they have never responded. Now that itâs been over 30 days is there anyway to recover files and pictures ?
