I deleted my Dropbox folder and all files on my iMac are wiped
Hey everyone, I'm having quite the conundrum. For a few months, my iMac has been having space issues lately. So I've been uploading large video files, syncing, etc, to my dropbox, I pay for the large space TB one. THEN I deleted them, hoping it clears my space up on my iMAC. Somehow, a day or weeks later the storage that was temporarily cleared APPEARS right back, though not necessarily apparent to me in the same folders. But the space is TAKEN back again. I stopped autosyncing to dropbox in february due to space functionalisty issues, imac notified dropbox I was low on space and that it was best to conserve energy/storage. EVEN though I'd been deleting the files that I l uploaded to DROPBOX after they'd finished uploading... Anyways, YESTERDAY my iMac had 1GB remaining of space, crazy YES, I know. I decided to stop editing on my iMovie, which was barely working and delete the DROPBOX folder and the extra video files by placing them in the trash. I ONLY place those two things in there and press DELETE/EMPTY TRASH. It loads, showing how many files are being loaded and time remaining, then it shows TWO dropbox segments deleting. The number goes from 1,000-5,000-then over 200,000 files, that I DIDN'T even know my computer had on it... It won't let me click off to stop the deletion... then my DESKTOP gets deleted, I can't even screenshot because the desktop doesn't exist ANYMORE to save a screenshot on it. Then my download finder folder is deleted and has a ? mark in it's place. I couldn't even download files from my emails, because downloads did NOT EXIST anymore. Why would APPLE allow DOWNLOADS and desktop to just be DELETED?? I called apple and email dropbox for help. I restore some of the files partially with an iMac backup in my DROPBOX. Suddenly downloads finder folder is back on my iMAC but ONLY allowed with dropbox permission now. Also all my iMovie videos are gone and show empty blank blue and grey icons or screens, I can open them, but NOTHING is in there. I've tried to restore my photobooth library, it's in the dropbox cloud, and it wont let me click on the icons to even add them to be reconnected as a library. I talked to Apple Support AGAIN today, nearly an hour, and they said that it's a dropbox developer issues at this point. ALLEGEDLY. Has anyone every experienced this? I'm sad and need my files back, of family, my YT videos and more are all gone. Any advice? I need it. Thanks.
Stop tool-tip popups from appearing on the website
This pops up EVERYTIME the page reloads on browser. I move, copy, rename, restore, etc. it reappears. I get it, I know I can do that. This and a few others in different pages keep reappearing as if I'm a new user or something. Someone please tell me how to disable these.
I'm trying to recover a file from 5 months ago
Hi! I hope everyone is doing well! I'm Lauren. I have dropbox professional bc I Thought it would help me recover a few files that got deleted in February of this year. Whenever I hit deleted files and specify the date in the To field, it doesn't work. I use a screenreader called NVDA because I'm blind. Can anyone help me out? Ican't keep dropbox professional for long bc I'm on a fix income. I'd really appreciate any help with this.Transfer file link sent to me won't open as it's giving me an error
Someone sent me a dropbox transfer file link, and supposedly my email is listed on the team, but when I click on the link, it says "Error, we can't find the page you're looking for". Everyone else on the team can seem to open it just fine but me. Why might this be?
