Hi all, After cleaning up all the mess in my Dropbox account I would like you to comment on two questions I have: As an example. .I have a folder A, and a lot of subfolders within that folder, called 1, 2, 3 etc. In the subfolder A1 there are a few subfolders, called, A1a, A1b etc. I want to share the subfolders A1a, A1b etc. The person I want to share folders with has a free Dropbox account (2 GB). I give them permission for A1a. So the person opens Dropbox goes into my account until the level of A1, finds the subfolder A1a, opens that and does what this person wants to do. As long as the folder A1a is smaller than 2GB that's okay for this person to do. After editing files within A1a, the folder may be closed and removed from the free Dropbox account. In this way this person has always 2GB available. One or more shared folders may not exceed 2GB. Is this a way to use Dropbox and shared folders? A shared folder can be opened by another person as long as necessary until I remove the permission, right? Thanks in advance and with kindest regards, Leo.Solved96Views0likes2CommentsTell Us How You Use Dropbox

I'm on a Mac with OS Sequoia, running Dropbox Plus, version 242.4.5815. My Dropbox folder location is on my internal hard drive. I've set Default sync preference to online-only since our business had files too numerous to store on my 500 GB internal drive. I have reinstalled the Dropbox app this morning and restarted my computer to try to fix these issues, to no avail. In my Mac Finder, many files are showing as zero bytes. This creates problems with InDesign not seeing linked files. If I double click the zero-byte files and then close them, this activates them somehow, and then InDesign can see them and their true size shows in Finder. How can I make these files available automatically without having to open each one? There are way too many to open each one like this. Additionally, the Dropbox quick action menu is missing when I right click a Finder file. It used to be available. How do I restore this functionality? Why is my system not eligible for Dropbox on File Provider? Is this the source of the problem? Thanks for your help.
