Notify us when we're removed from a shared folder, and allow us to retrieve our files.
Dear All, I would like to suggest that when an owner removes a member from a shared folder - we get a notification of deletion. It is important to track this as sometimes we don't even realise when we are removed from a shared folder. this can happen for various reasons (for instance, migration to other systems, changing data policies). additionally, it would be good if some members (who had access and contributed to the folders by uploading files) could be given the chance to retrieve at least the files that they have uploaded to the folders. this would also help with ownership and prevent data loss. Another idea is to possibly allow (long-standing) members who have been part of shared folder for, say, more than 3 years - to retrieve the folder if needed, when this is deleted. Just some ideas.
I received a Dropbox notification saying my folder is going to expire. What does that mean?
I don't understand much about Dropbox, and it is virtually impossible to get answers, but....Does Dropbox sometimes remove files from your folder without your request or permission? Just now, I received the following message: 1 day until expiration for Annette Hanshaw's RECORDINGS (1926-1934). Does that mean that Dropbox is going to remove a folder that I have put there? Why? What can I do? (4/27/25;8:41 AM PST)
How can I permanently disable the "delete for everyone" prompt?
How can I permanently disable this "delete for everyone" prompt? I have to delete old files daily for work, and this message is a major hindrance. It doesn't happen if I take the time to sync the file to my hard drive, but that is a ridiculous workaround when I'm trying to completely delete a file. This needs a "don't remind me again" option. Am I missing some way to turn this off?
Is there a way to change whom alerts go to in regards to things like adding and deleting accounts?
Hello, Is there a way to change whom alerts go to in regards to things like adding and deleting accounts? Ideally we should have control that we can have certain types of alerts reach only certain folks depending on their job role in the organization. For instance, currently our executive team from all departments receives notifications of folks being on-boarded and/or off-boarded. This leads to questions at times that are best handled by a certain role in the organization rather than a team email blast. Thanks
