910 TopicsImpossible to Restore an External Drive Backup
Dropbox is an absolute joke! If you back up an external drive and that drive crashes, congratulations â youâve just discovered that Dropbox âBackupâ is basically useless. You cannot restore the backup to a new drive. Let that sink in. A backup service that canât restore to new hardware... Yeah, funny, I know. Your only option? Crawl to the web interface like itâs 2005 and manually download your own data. And it gets worse: you canât even download large folders. Try it and youâll be slapped with âtoo many filesâ or ZIP limit errors. So instead of restoring a drive, youâre forced to download a few folders at a time, over and over, for thousands of folders. Absolute insanity. - Easy for Dropbox support clowns to say, just do it in small batches... Right. You do understand that some of your clients have subfolder within subfolders where some of those folders have large volumes of data? Oh, duh, just download one folder at a time. OK Dropbox Support Hero, how do I reliably rebuild all this manual intervention without accidentally losing valuable data? Come on guys! You should have a restore drive option that mirrors the data on your useless server with the new drive. Dropbox Backup is not a backup service â itâs a data hostage situation. Itâs fine for a couple of documents, but if you trust it with real data, youâre asking for pain. I paid for 2TB and got a masterclass in how not to design a backup product. If you value your time, your sanity, or your data: stay far away from Dropbox Our company has almost 40 team members, we are ALL moving to Google Drive the moment our paid subscriptions end.129Views0likes6CommentsDisplaying HTML links as raw code. Is there a workaround?
It seems that when you sent a link to an HTML file, whereas I can view it just fine, nobody else can, they get raw code. I understand that this was a deliberate policy. So, is there a workaround? Is there a link to a download possible? If I myself want to download it's fine, but what about others?Solved64Views0likes4CommentsRemove login popup when sharing a link to download
Remove this very frustrating sign in popup. We're all getting sick of our customers and clients asking "can you give me access" or "we dont have a dropbox login" or "can you share it with XYZ" USERS: please like this post so dropbox considers listening. We're paying customers, stop using us as marketing to get more people to sign up.

How do I contact a human being & get my data off this piece of **bleep** site before you delete my 500GB of data, since you made me a Team & quintupled your price & I've been homeless & peripatetic for 6 years & without an income for 8 years & you are holding hostage all the vestiges of a life I once had & liked?51Views0likes1CommentHow can I download multiple photos at once?
My main use is to post photos and have friends download them. I know about the ability to download any folder you are currently in. I know how to download a single photo. But I have not found the way to select and download multiple photos at a time. I'm hoping there's a way that I have not found. Please tell me!Solved47Views0likes2CommentsOffline archives on micro SD external card on Android device
Good morning, I recently bought an Android e-ink reader, and the internal storage is only 64GB, which isn't very much. It has a microSD card slot (up to 1TB), and I'd like offline files to be downloaded to the card, as the device has quite limited storage capacity and I'll be using large PDF files with audio. Any ideas on how to do this? Thank you very much.63Views0likes5Comments"Couldn't copy link" error only on a specific file
