You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
I can't invite new members to a folder, it's asking me to upgrade to Dropbox Business.
I am trying to invite a new email address to my folder but I am getting blocked by a pop up for a free trial of DropBox Business. I click on "Not Now" but it just reverts back to the folder page and does the same thing again when I click on Invite Members
Is it possible to see who created the link?
I gave my former attorney access to my dropbox so they could obtain and send my documents to opposing counsel. My former attorney sent dropbox links to opposing counsel. I want to find out if these links were to MY dropbox or if the former attorney moved the docs to their dropbox and sent links to THEIR copy. I have the URLs. I got another attorney and at some point (probably weeks later) deleted the links I created, assuming OC had the docs. Opposing counsel (OC) went to my new attorney and claimed they couldn't open the links and requested the documents all over again. Meanwhile, OC told my former atty the reason they didn't obtain the docs is because they simply delayed in obtaining them. I was billed almost $3,000 by my new atty for compiling the documents again. I'm trying to find out if the links my former atty sent were links to MY dropbox documents or if the links were to an account owned by my former atty. How can I find out if former atty linked to my dropbox or their own? Many thanks in advance for any help find out whose links were sent. I have a basic account now but I had signed up for DocSend free trial when links were sent.
Better Sharing & Better Branding
Dropbox is wonderful -- I've paid for professional for ten years -- but it could be immensely better.. You will make more money if you do these two related things:) (1) The branding feature is way too basic. The options seem like they're from 1995. It would be wonderful if we had more options and more customization. Specifically, if we could create different branding for different customers, it would be amazing. (I use Dropbox to share pictures and videos with my customers. I want to put THEIR branding on these files and galleries, NOT MINE.) (2) The experience of RECEIVING shared files is HORRIBLE, for the people who RECEIVE the links or transfers. Even using the current branding options, Dropbox still puts its OWN branding on the page – this is confusing for the receiver. It's messy and ugly, and it takes up too much screen space. They think they have to create a Dropbox account to receive the files. You are trying to get sales, through me, a paying customer -- that is **bleep**ty. Please take all your branding and sales prompts off these pages, for us paying customers. Also, browsing through pictures on shared links is a slow and not-intuitive process. It would be amazing if you could make it function like[removed per the Dropbox Community Guidelines]. These companies create beautiul galleries, and customers can easily create lists of their favorite pictures. You could actually steal all their business if you did this. I am 100% certain your customers would love these features:)
My Dropbox wasn't syncing - are all my files gone?
My account was closed in mid sept. I had 2TB and not 5GB. I thought my local dropbox on my computer was synced but it appears it was not (only 80gb was). I wonder now if all my files are gone in dropbox? Can I reinstate for just one month? Really unfortunate. I have been trying to find a contact for dropbox support but it seems I need to pay for it.
Is there a way to recover files from a link created by someone who has passed away?
I doubt very much that there is but, is there any way to access a Drop Box account of someone that has recently died without a password? 2 years ago, my sister-in-law took many photo's at my son's wedding and later shared them in a link to a Drop Box account. Unfortunately, no one could access the link and she didn't get around to fixing it before passing away. I still have the link. Or are they gone forever?
