70 TopicsThe team admin could access my private folder when I joined the team
I had a personal Dropbox account for a decade. In the last 2 years, I have been included in a team account. I remember how the system looked skecthy and not reassuring in terms of privacy after joining the team, but I trust dropbox. My home folder had looked "only" shared with myself. Yesterday, my team leader decided to shut down the team account, but I lost all my personal/private files. Then I learned, somehow the team leader could move my files without my permission and put them all to a team member's space. My team member now has full access to my files. What kind of a irresponsibility is this? How could Dropbox, which is in bussiness for more than a decade, allow that? I had my old tax forms, bills, ID scans etc. in there, now someone else can access them? How? My privacy is violated, and how can I trust dropbox ever again?177Views0likes5CommentsMy team invitation isn't working - when I try to join the team I get a blank page
I am trying to join a dropbox team that stores technical data for my employer. He has sent an invitation four different times now, and I still can't access the team. While the invitation pops up for me to join, when I try to join the team I get a blank page. Refreshing doesn't resolve the page, I've tried closing the browser and reopening the link, restarting my computer, and clearing all other app activity. If I open the link and reopen dropbox, it shows the invitation but does not add me to the team. I've tried logging out and logging back in, and that doesn't resolve the issue either. Any potential solutions would be great.Solved161Views0likes3CommentsThe Dropbox site reloads every time I try to join a team via an invitation
I received an invitation to join a team but every time I click on the "join" button, Dropbox automatically log me out because the session "expired" and I have to re-enter my password, after re enter newly my password it happens the same story, the page reloads and it asks again for my password because the session expired ,and the story continues the same way.153Views0likes4CommentsAdding a new person shouldn't add them to the Dropbox Team
Recently we have added two entry level members to our firm. We purchased licenses for them and wanted to add them to SOME Dropbox folders pertinent to their work. Unfortunately, Dropbox is telling me that the only way to add a person is to add a new person to the Team and this gives them access to EVERY folder in the firm's Dropbox. The only fix is to add a new person then delete the Team access to the folder and then individually reinvite people to each folder. How can Dropbox think this is a good idea? A person joining on their first day has access to most secret information the firm has, if only temporarily it's still a bad idea. Not to mention the vast amount of time and data consumed deleting off the Managing Partners and Partners and then having them resync and download. There's got to be a better way. Dropbox suggested that all new employees could have individual plans but that's just silly and an administrative burden.Solved174Views0likes3CommentsMy account is in locked stage, after joining another team, and I can't access my files.

Hello, I tried sending invites to my team members but they haven't received any emails. We checked our spam and tried searching for emails from Dropbox to no avail. We signed up for the Dropbox Business Plus plan for 4 team members. We wanted to try out the free trial before signing up. Does the free trial prevent invites?114Views0likes1CommentHow can I rotate users with a fixed number of licenses in a business plan?
We are small organisation where three people from the management should share documents. We decided to purchase Dropbox Business with 3 licenses. One person created the Dropbox account, and automatically became ADMIN. His email become the address used by Dropbox to communicate the issues affecting the whole team. Other people were invited by admin via invitation process. Now - in this organisation, management regularly rotate - one or more people leave the management, other people enter management. At any given time, there are at most 3 people in the management. What is the correct procedure to manage Dropbox accounts in this scenario? For example - when Admin person is replaced in the management, how to transfer ADMIN role to differrent user? There are two scenario variants: a) tranfer ADMIN role to already existing user b) transfer ADMIN role to newly added user - this, however, temporarily increases the number of users by 1 🙂 How to solve this?182Views0likes5CommentsMy account has been deleted because i joined another Dropbox team by mistake.

Hello Folks. i hope you can help. I have joined a TEAM and in the process i have lost access to to my own (paid for 3TB personal ACC). This is what happened: I have a personal account which i pay for 3TB (call this TB_P1) I was asked to joined a team to work on a project and in the process i couldn't work how to link my Personal account to their team. So i logged off and Started fresh by trying to join their TEAM without being logged into my personal Dropbox. So whilst i was Joining the team DropBox required me to set up another 'Personal account' as i couldn't seem to link my own one (lets call this TB_P2) So i have now lost access to my own personal TB_P1 account. what i have access to now is a new Personal account TB_P2 of which i don't want and the TEAM for work which i do want to be linked to. So the question is: How do i get rid of this new Personal account and Link my TB_P1 account instead of this redundant TB_P2 account? Any help would be great as i Dropbox don't seem to have any customer care? How strange? Thanks Tom325Views0likes3Comments
