1087 TopicsWhy are all my files moved to, "Online-only" against my wishes?
Hello, Why suddenly do all my dropbox files have a cloud and arrow next to them? I didn’t set anything differently. The Sync feature apparently was reset by the program to, NEW Files-online only-AGAINST MY WISHES. I reset it to Available offline, where it had always been. That did not help-even after I then re-downloaded all my files. Dropbox chat was worthless. How do I get it to stop moving all my files to online-only? Thanks HarrySolved1.7KViews0likes6CommentsRemove "Log in or sign up" Popup when downloading from a shared link
We recently chose Dropbox as the best-looking and most functional drive-sharing tool for our video production company. However, there's an annoying popup prompting clients to log in or sign up when we share links. The "Continue with download only" button is easily missed, especially by older clients, making us look unprofessional. It's frustrating that such a customizable platform has this issue. We hope for a solution soon!4.5KViews7likes28CommentsI'm trying to delete and download my files from Dropbox, but I'm unable to do so.
I have deleted all my connections and I still get this message. What am I doing wrong? I just want to download everything and move to another service. I find dropbox far too complicated nowadays. I have been trying for weeks to get my stuff downloaded. I want to delete some files in dropbox to make it smaller first but it wont even allow me to delete files.31Views0likes2Commentsdownloaded video is choppy and laggy
After downloading the video is choppy and laggy. I tried it on my android phone, my laptop (browser: chrome , firefox) , and via the Laptop app. I tried viewing the clip in my phone , with vlc and the standard windows 10 media player. Since its a mov file i tried converting it to mp4 first which didnt work as well. if i open the dropbox link where the clips are uploaded they are not choppy. I dont know what to try anymore. Any ideas what is going on?6.5KViews0likes10CommentsCannot open downloaded Zip due to "Unable to expand (file name).zip into Downloads (Error 2)
I am trying to download photos from my photographer's Dropbox account to my external hard drive. When I try to open the Zip (which shows size 7.53GB), I receive this error: "Unable to expand (file name).zip into Downloads (Error 2 - No such file or directory.)" I see that many other people have this issue. How can it be resolved?5KViews0likes7CommentsI put all files available offline, but Dropbox doesn't download them.
Hi! I recently bought a new Macbook and wanted to sync my files to my new computer. Unfortunately, I am unable to download all the files. They are mostly kept in the cloud. I changed the preferences to offline in the Dropbox settings, but this did nothing. What to do? I need to have all my files available offline, because the cloud version prevents me from searching files and file contents via Spotlight and browsing through pictures is a drag. I have the latest Dropbox, 2TB subscription, Macbook M3 Pro, all the latest updates.655Views0likes9CommentsI can't download a shared file as I'm being told I'm out of storage
I'm trying to download a large file from Dropbox that someone shared with me, but instead of seeing a 'download' option, I get this message... "Your account is out of storage!" Here's the problem – I don't WANT this massive file in my Dropbox account – I just want to download it. It *looks* like Drobox is shaking me down for money in order to access the file that's been legitimately shared with me, but I'm holding out hope that that's not the case. Open to ideas on how to get this fixed. Thanks.36Views0likes1CommentI cannot download any files from the website as I'm getting an error
I cannot download anything from Dropbox. The first time in any session, a file or folder can download. The next time I try to download anything, large or small, I get the above error message. I have zero faith in Dropbox and want to remove all my files and use another provider. Please tell me how I can access my files.25Views0likes1CommentZip file can not decompress Mac OS X
Hello DB. I have now, on multiple occasions, had clients write me that when they download a folder I sent them, the resulting .zip file will provide an error when decompressed. I have myself recreated this on a Macbook Air M2 on OS X Monterey and Big Sur. The downloaded zip file has the correct size, but is corrupt. Best, Tor1.7KViews0likes8CommentsHow to make my files available offline, so that I'm able to transfer them?
Hello everyone I am new to Dropbox. I have the free trial. I am trying to download all my photos from various phones into Dropbox. Then I am going to transfer them onto an external hard drive. I have just downloaded Dropbox onto my PC and the photos all have clouds next to them. How do I download them so I am able to transfer them. I have thousands so doing this as multiples would be better TIA.69Views0likes1Comment
