'Email to Dropbox' email address created, but sent emails do not arrive in 'email attachment' folder
I have followed and successfully created and replied to the Dropbox email address that has been created for me. When I reply/forward to the email, nothing is appearing in 'email attachments' folder. I can upload a file to this area but that's not what I want to do - I want to forward hotels confirmation emails to Dropbox. Any suggestions?

Bulk update file versions
Hi, can someone help me to understand if Dropbox is suitable for my use case? 1. I need a way of versioning PDF files without changing the download link. I think this is standard functionality in Dropbox, however I have over 1000 price list PDF files in different languages that are updated frequently, and I'm trying to find a way to avoid manually updating each file version. It would be troublesome to update each file version one by one. Is there a way of bulk uploading new file versions from a CSV or something along those lines with the original download link remaining constant? Please let me know if any of this needs clarifying. Many thanks, Chris

Uploading software and music on Dropbox, what to be aware of.
Hey everyone I want to use Dropbox to upload some software I purchased, music and etc. This is of course copyrighted material, but is this a problem? Does Dropbox scan your files for this kind of activity, or can you only get banned when someone reports a DMCA? Kind regards Lucas

How can I send or share a folder privately to another user?
I want to send my landlord a copy of my ID, a bank account statement, and some paystubs. This is sensitive information, so I would rather not email it, but after exploring the various options that dropbox offers, I think this is my only option. - "Dropbox Transfer" doesn't work because my landlord doesn't have dropbox. - "Dropbox DocSend" doesn't work for a number of reasons. - I want to send a folder with 3 files. - I don't want to pay a ton of extra money for this to work. I already pay for Dropbox Plus. My Question is: What kind of Dropbox plan/subscription would I need to make this work? I have Dropbox Plus, do I need to upgrade that? Is a "Dropbox DocSend" subscription something different? Overall I am disappointed at the moment in two things. 1) This seems like a really basic, simple thing to do, and moreover, it is something that will help prevent crime and identity theft. Why doesn't Dropbox support it? (or at least why do they reserve this feature only for larger business accounts) 2) The pricing structure / feature structure is obscured and is confusing. I think the end solution will be that I just email my landlord these documents. Hopefully they stay safe.

Why has my sharing been interrupted on my account?
I am getting the following message when I try to share a specific folder Can’t share file Error in call to API function /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings: We’ve interrupted your sharing activity because you tried to share a file that may contain malware. Check your email for instructions on how to resolve this. I have not received an email regarding this about it. I don't believe that any files in the folder contain malware and don't have any information about how to resolve the issue. What to do?
