How to rename the Dropbox root folder?
There is a post about this from 2015 with replies up to 2019 but the reply button is greyed out, hence I'm creating a new thread. I'm guessing Dropbox couldn't be bothered to find a solution so instead, they just silence their customers. Interesting. Guess what, it's 2022 and users still need an option to rename their folder. I recently upgraded to dropbox business and it renamed my entire dropbox folder from 'Dropbox' to..... '[xyz] Dropbox'. Yup, you guessed it- all file links incl. professional software I rely upon broken, causing thousands of wasted hours. The solution? Rename the folder back to just 'Dropbox'. Do dropbox allow this simple rename? Apparently not. 7 years after that first thread with thousands of complaints from users, Dropbox still hasn't enabled a simple 'rename' functionality. My question here: "Has anybody found a way to rename the root dropbox folder?????"Solved3.1KViews0likes3Comments
Shared link expired - how can I download the files?
Hi guys. About 8 years ago I did some acting for a film student based in Wellington. I was sent finished projects to my email via Dropbox. Recently I tried to access the works but I can't and displays a message saying link no longer works. I would desperately like to retrieve them. Unfortunately I have long since lost touch with the student involved. Any help would be so so appreciated. Thanks for taking time to read this 🙂☘️Solved6.4KViews0likes3Comments
Can adult content be uploaded legally to Dropbox?
Hello, The terms of use are a bit vague, so I need some more clarification please, particularly in layman's terms. If someone writes erotica (their own), and uploads to Dropbox to share to an 18+ audience, can they do so? Same question applies to those who have made their own amateur or professional porn videos Same question applies for amateur/professional porn audio (recording masturbation, etc.) Same question applies for amateur/professional porn pictures (nudes, photoshoots, adult models, etc.) As long as the porn is not illegal (aka includes minors, animals, those who cannot give consent, etc.), and all parties involved in the MAKING of the adult content are 18+ and consent, can they still upload and share their adult content? Thanks for the help!Solved99KViews9likes2Comments
Should I have a personal or Business account?
I own my business and use Dropbox Business. It's great and more secure than personal, which I have loads of data on. Is there any reason I should have both? I can't think of any. Seems like I should just migrate everything to DB Biz. Am I missing something?3KViews0likes6Comments
'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?Solved1.1KViews0likes4CommentsThe Dropbox desktop application will no longer be supported for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 on October 22nd
Congratulations Dropbox! You've just put the nail in the coffin of all W7 users who prefer not to be spied on and constantly used for data scraping! Well done. If the constant scaremonger nagging about running out of space, the constant begging to upgrade, the incessant app updating demands, the constant USB device interrogation upon connection wasn't enough of an incentive to finally ditch Dropbox for good, then the cutting off of users of a still perfectly good and functional, non-spyware infested OS will be the last straw. Thank you Dropbox for giving me the incentive to go to your competitors instead and get out of your ever more bloated crapware ecosystem. Sometimes, people need a little push to get away from what's comfortable and familiar, even though they suspect just how bad that relationship is for them. I thank you Dropbox for giving me this little push. Goodbye.8.8KViews11likes33Comments
