Remove login pop-up on Dropbox transfer downloads
This has been complained about numerous times and it is absurd that Dropbox seemingly refuses to change this. I've received so many complaints from clients with regards to them claiming they need to signup/give a password to download my transfers because the scummy "Or continue with download only" text is easily missable. Just allow people to click the link, view the files, and download without logging in. What else do I pay Dropbox for? I will move to another service soon if this is not changed.
Request to Reinstate Transfer Link in Dropbox Notification Emails
Hi, I hope you’re doing well. This is not a new idea, but rather a request to reinstate a feature that previously existed and, unfortunately, was removed sometime last year. In the past, when I created a Transfer from a Dropbox folder or file, I would receive an email titled “New Transfer: File Name”. That email included the transfer link directly in a copyable text box. This was extremely helpful, as it allowed me to quickly copy and resend the link - especially when clients asked for it again days later, or when I was away from my computer and needed access via my phone and Gmail. Today, the notification email no longer includes the transfer link. Instead, it contains a “Manage Transfer” button, which opens a browser window outside the email app - and not even the Dropbox app itself, which I have installed on my phone. This extra step makes it much harder and less accessible to quickly retrieve and resend a transfer link, particularly on mobile devices. As a dedicated Dropbox user since 2009, I truly appreciate the product and rely on it heavily in my workflow. Reintroducing the shareable transfer link directly within the email - as it previously existed - would be a simple yet powerful improvement. It offered a fast, intuitive way to access transfer links without having to navigate through multiple windows or menus. Thank you very much for your time and for considering this request. Best regards, KhenDiscover Dropbox Transfer in video!

Someone sent me a File Transfer, but it won't load.
I received a dropbox transfer link from my photographer for my wedding pics but when I click "download" it just opens a link to the website but it stays loading. I haven't been able to see the pics or download them. I've also tried on 3 different devices, my phone, my mac and my work computer. This is what it looks like and they just simply don't load. Can someone help?
DropboxTransfer: viewing a list of past Transfers in a more specialized and clear log format.
アイディアというわけでもないですが、要望です。 https://help.dropbox.com/ja-jp/share/dropbox-transfer 上記ヘルプより、例えばAdvancedプランだと「有効期限から 180 日後に削除されます」の記載がございます。 180日より前にTransferを行ったものについても、どのようなファイルやフォルダを転送したかについて、ログの確認を行いたいです。 データの中身は無くなっても良く、ログだけで良いです。 御社に伺い、管理コンソール＞アクティビティで「転送ファイルを追加しました」でフィルタをかけると良い、と伺いました。 しかし、レポート出力しても「素材データ」列が確認しづらく、ぱっと見、何のデータか分かりにくいです。 できれば過去にTransferを行ったものに特化し、一覧でログが確認できる機能を実装してほしいという要望になります。 恐れ入りますが、ご検討をお願いします。
Show full filenames for transfers under desktop app notifications.
As a UX person, it always hurts me when I see somewhere people hides useful information behind their nonsense thinking. It's like "Let's not think and do whatever you can" It's their Desktop APP notification about a Transfer download. "Your transfer was just downloaded" Do you guys have any clue what transfers are downloaded without clicking on the little button "Manage"? You are viewing notification on the app, but clicking on manage will get you to the browser and look below, Dropbox doesn't have enough room to show the full name of the transfer? I would like to fire the Dropbox UX guy and give him/her 100 lashes for this odd UX behavior. Is AI the Nonsense doing these? And guess what, they were able to show the name for the Transfers that are being expired. Amazing, right? But couldn't show the name of the Transfers those are downloaded which has more importance sometimes. Any Dropbox UX person out their to explain the situation. And I'm sorry how I wrote this up, but I've been using Dropbox for over a decade and I'm tired of this and finally took the time put it here. NB: I love this forum editor. It's the best among others I've used for a while. Thank you!
