Dropbox Basic
26 Topics"Please log in to verify your email" when trying to access a folder.
I have been added to a DropBox and received an email from DropBox to allow me to access the folder. Now, I enter my username then password. The page loads then resets and say "Please Log In to Verify your Email". it is an endless cycle. Because I am accessing another party DropBox, this is a free account so DropBox does not offer me support.199Views0likes7CommentsTurn OFF selective sync, do FULL sync instead?
I see that, under selective sync in settings, I can check all folders - but, if I add a folder, will it start syncing? If not, is there a way to turn OFF selective sync and instead opt for FULL synching? (I just noticed that I thought I had no files in a folder but I actually DID, because I was not synching all the subfolders, so I think I need to synch everything while I'm cleaning up files.)Solved1.3KViews0likes10CommentsIs there a way to set the Dropbox folder via the command line?
Hi Dropbox HUGELY EXASPERATING -- NO WAY TO MOVE / SET THE DROPBOX ON-PC FILE LOCN ON COMMAND LINE INSTALLS #Dropbox - presuming you are here, WHY am I having to ask the Community to help with such an OBVIOUS NEED ?????????? #### YOU SHOULD FIX THIS, DROPBOX -- IT'S BEEN OVERLOOKED FOR YEARS. SORT IT OUT PLEASE - TODAY WOULD BE GOOD. This will take a decent programmer in your offices *20mins tops to document*. PROBLEM: THE HEADLESS DROPBOX - IDEAL FOR MANY LINUXES ****HAS NO WAY TO RELOCATE THE STORAGE FOLDER***** On Win / Mac / Ubuntu there's a GUI - but for the hundreds of other Linux situations, and most servers, WE USE COMMAND LINE -- but you FORCE US to put the synch folder in the most obviously idiotic place - under home. And moving it is then IMPOSSIBLE it seems. "Jane" replied with this helpful news three years ago on this thread: [ https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Apps-and-Installations/Unable-to-access-preference-menu-on-linux/td-p/232112/page/3 ] . ## SO DROPBOX -- what are the millions of us out here supposed to do ????? Can you FIX this IDIOTIC OMISSION please. I only ask because I have work associates who want Dropbox. (Cloud on Linux is massively simpler with Google Drive. Just works). Looking forward in anticipation to your detailed help. No sarcasm intended. (Apologies to all the good people in Community but there seems no way to actually reach a Dropbox person). Thanks MikeHLondon [ PS that detail advice from 2013 - it doesn't work. MHL ]4.4KViews2likes7CommentsCan't link work account, pop-up msg says already linked but it's not
On my desktop app, I used to have both my personal Dropbox account and my work account. The work account is no longer active (it's been over 1.5 years). And now I'm trying to link a new work account but I get this pop-up msg in red "That account can’t be paired. You can only pair one work account with one personal account." When I went to unlink the old work account by following the steps here (https://help.dropbox.com/account-access/link-unlink-two-accounts), no accounts were listed. So I clicked on "Link accounts" and again it took me back to the pop-up message in red quoted above. Anyone know how to get to the bottom of this??690Views0likes5CommentsNot receiving verification emails.

My dropbox login was reseted after i switched phone. While attempting to login, a verification code was sent to my email. I have tried adding no-reply@dropbox.com, multiple attempt over few days. Refresh spam multiple times, not a single verification email receive for my hotmail acct. I even got an ad mail from Dropbox no-reply@em-s.dropbox.com with invitation to download desktop app. Apparently drobox basic doesn't even have the service to email their customer support for help. So please anyone can help me out?Solved1.7KViews0likes5CommentsSwitching email addresses between two accounts - any potential consequences?
Hi folks! I'm looking to change my email address from email A to email B. email A has a lot of extra GBs that I received years ago I enrolled email B in Dropbox years ago, but I've never used it as email B had much more storage space Can I change A to B if B is already enrolled in Dropbox? If not, what can I do to be able to perform this change? If I change A to B, will I be able to keep all the extra GBs that I accumulated over the years? Thanks!Solved1.6KViews0likes6CommentsChanging Email: says email already taken.
