I am missing some older subfolders from a shared folder. None of us deleted it. I do not see it under activity nor do they pop up when I do a search. I am a basic subscriber; will DropBox help me with this? I am logged in online. My app and online shows the same data so it not a syncing issue.

A good friend has sent me a link to share her very precious photos, so I opened a Dropbox account. In total they are 4.3gb, too large for a basic free account, but I didn't know this until I had added them to my account. I have now downloaded them all to a hard drive as the free 2gb Dropbox was not big enough. If I delete the photos and close my drop box account will I be deleting the photos on her Dropbox account too? I can't risk doing that!65Views0likes4CommentsHow can I stream a video to my website from Dropbox online?
Hi Guys, So I will try and explain best I can. This is my website https://www.progressivedreamsmusic.com/ and this is a page on my website where I stream videos https://www.progressivedreamsmusic.com/a-progressive-journey-50/ The video that plays on the above page is hosted on my desktop in my dropbox pubic folder. I use a widget within wordpress (on my site) called FV Flowplayer Video Player that allows me to embed videos like this. What I do is copy the link of the video I want to stream and I paste it in FV Player, I change the end of the link from '?dl=0' to '?raw=1', I am not exactly sure why but without this the video won't play. Anyway, without that out of the way you can see what I am doing, but because over time this will take up lots of space on my desktop I want to know how I can stream a video from my online dropbox account like this? I want to store these very large video files in dropox cloud, maybe a public folder on my online account? Basically I want to not eat up my computers hhd space and instead do this via online instead Can anyne help me ?Solved25KViews1like2CommentsFiles disappeared from my Dropbox folder & it seems that more than 100K files were deleted.
The problem started yesterday. I noticed some files were missing from local synced files as well as the web interface. This morning more files disappeared. I checked the Deleted Files folder. It appears that close to 100,000 files were deleted at the same time yesterday afternoon, which I absolutely did not do. I have a Basic account with limited support. Can someone enlighten me on how to solve this problem? Thank you in advance! p.s. I am an IT professional and have been using Dropbox for many years without issues. I am confident it is not a new user issue.Solved7.9KViews0likes6CommentsHow can I delete my files from a computer remotely?

My Dropbox plan downgraded from 2TB to 2GB. My uploaded files are 300GB, and I understand that new file uploads are impossible, but existing files won't be deleted. Instead,I'm getting a notification that files may be deleted. Even if my plan is lower, won't the files in shared folders provided by others be deleted?Solved163Views0likes4CommentsHow can I find what files I've stored on my Dropbox account to delete them and free up space?

Hi everyone, I’m trying to recover photos and videos I deleted from my Dropbox Basic account around late 2021. I know this is way past the 30-day limit, but the files are extremely important to me. Support told me there’s no way to restore them, but I’m still hoping someone here might know a workaround or has had a similar case. 👉 If anyone here can help in any way — technically or with advice — I’m more than willing to pay whatever is needed. Thanks in advance114Views0likes2CommentsUnable to edit Microsoft files online
Until a few days ago, I was able to edit Microsoft files (word, excel) online. Now the page loads with a white screen. I am on a free account. I found a thread that says only Business account holder are able to edit Microsoft files online, but this thread is +6 years old. Has the the terms and conditions changed as of recent?? What I have tried to fix this is use Edge, Chrome browsers and clear my cache to no available.249Views0likes8Comments
