124 TopicsMy local files won't open. I can see them in the Dropbox folder, but can't preview them.
Unable to access my files on DropBox! Have had a DB account shared between a work laptop + my personal laptop (both Win 11 + fairly new) for quite some time. Recently retired-Work laptop went away. Can't seem to access much of anything on my personal laptop now. When I go to click on pictures or documents, I get the following: Hmmm… can't reach this page It looks like the webpage at file:///C:/Users/pgand/Downloads/Dropbox/Documents/MetLifeCritIllPol.pdf might be having issues, or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_FAILED I really hope I haven't lost everything I ever copied here. I attached a SNIP from File Explorer-they all LOOK PERFECT yet I can't ACCESS ANYTHING. Please help if you can thanks ! If so, kind of deceptive of DropBox as all the copies went well ! Please help if you can thanks !Solved334Views0likes22CommentsDropbox shared links are too long
Ever since Dropbox has moved to the sci/fi format for generating links, I've been running into a constant issue of the url links becoming so ridiculously long that websites with linkfilters will destroy the address, rendering them unusable. I used to be able to scrape by with finding ways to generate the old, far shorter links, but it's not possible anymore and it's looking more and more likely that I may need to change away from Dropbox due to this issue.146Views0likes4CommentsI get an error when trying to access a file on the website even after refreshing the page

Several pdf files stored in my DropBox account are listed as having 0kb files sizes when viewing them on desktop. I am unable to open them in a browser or Acrobat. Via dropbox.com, these same files are fine - downloadable and viewable, etc. There is no issue with file size constraints - all files are well within this account's storage capacity. I have removed and re-installed the desktop app with no change to the above. This is on OSX Sequoia. Any insight into why this is occuring would be helpful. It's a basic account, so Dropbox punts on technical support.Solved267Views0likes4CommentsDo shared links have a default expiration date on Dropbox Basic?
Hello, I am currently using the free version of Dropbox, and I would like to confirm if shared links to uploaded folders still do not have an expiration date by default. I understand that with the Dropbox Professional or Business plans, it is possible to set an expiration date for shared links. However, I would like to know if, on the free plan, my shared links will remain active indefinitely unless I manually delete or remove them. Thank you!Solved204Views0likes2Commentsdropbox video link not working
Good afternoon. made a website through the Tilda service, and used a link from Dropbox to play the video on the site, where there is an uploaded video. Previously, the link from Dropbox worked and the video was displayed on the site, but recently it disappeared. Tilda support said that this is a problem on the Dropbox side. Help solve the problem.Solved2.4KViews0likes9CommentsDownloading from a shared link from Patreon gives me an error screen

Does anyone know how to move picture locations within a dropbox file folder? For example, if I wanted to move the location of a photo from the beginning to the end of the file. There does not appear to be any kind of drop and drag capability.Solved315Views0likes2Comments
