I can't open a folder shared with me; it appears grayed out on the Dropbox website.
Device mac Book Air Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Chrome Syncing Status I have no idea how to check this Question or Issue I'd like to access the Hypnosis -Money folder--it is a MP3 shared with me but I can't --as you can see it is shaded out. Not clickable. Thanks!
The admin needs to send a code every time someone wants to access a shared file.
accessing new shared files was easy by opening the email link. Now the admin person has to send a code as well for access. It is very confusing for not tech savvy people and also means the admin person has to be available all the time to send the code. please stop this nonsense or tell me how I can turn it off.
When sharing a link to a parent folder, does a subfolder inherit the permissions of the parent?
Hi, With a dropbox basic account, does a subfolder inherit the permissions of the parent folder? Suppose I make a folder (Folder A) that anyone can view with a link, but within it (Folder B), I change the permission to "only people invited," will Folder B still inherit Folder A's permissions even if I changed the permissions of Folder B? So can anyone with the link of Folder A see the contents inside Folder B? Thank you so much in advance! Best, John
I no longer see the "anyone with link to view" option for shared links on my Dropbox team.
Help! I feel like I am going crazy trying to figure this out. I have a business account and recently have had trouble creating links so that anyone with the link can view. This is a new issue and one I haven't had before. It used to be so easy to create folders and links to share easily with colleagues but not no matter where I look, I am not seeing that option anyomore. It only gives me the option to invite individual people to view/edit the folders I am creating. Is there something I missing or a restriction I mistakenly added to my account? I'd rather "anyone with the link to view" be my default than it be protected as 90% of the time I want to create links that are easily shareable and viewable. See attached screenshot. Is anyone else having this issue as of late? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide!
Why is Dropbox indexing on every restart of my computer?
Using a M3 Ultra Mac Studio, Sequoia 15.5, with Dropbox v239.4.8301 running on an external drive. This issue has been an issue since last June, and I have been lucky to avoid any major issues until today. Whenever I restart/shut off and turn my computer back on, Dropbox always has to go through the process of re-indexing everything. I work off of dropbox directly, and use shared folders to send files back and forth with collaborators/clients/etc. After I did a necessary restart for an unrelated software issue (Pro Tools for the work I do), and naturally the indexing process had begun. However, it's been going on for the past 5+ hours, and the work I completed this morning can't be sent until dropbox is done indexing, and my collaborator can't access any of my work until dropbox has completed the indexing process. We are under tight deadlines, and we have lost half a day due to this issue. Is there anyway to stop dropbox from re-indexing everything on startup? This was never an issue in the past, and I would rather not have to change my workflow, but I desperately need this to be resolved.
Remove Login/SignUp dialog from download flow when sharing link to files
More often than not, when I share a link with a client who is not a Dropbox user, they respond to me, asking if I can please share the file with them using a method other than Dropbox because they do not want to sign up for an account. I will then have to send them detailed instructions on how to download the file, because while they can actually accomplish this without an account, the current UX/UI dissuades that by displaying Login/SignUp so prominently in the hierarchy that the small text offering the "download only" option is illegible or otherwise pushed below the fold.
