Move my Dropbox files from PC to external drive
Hi! I don't have too much space on my PC to download all my files via Dropbox Desktop App. My goal is the backup all my files saved to Dropbox to an external drive. After I copy the downloaded files to an external drive, how can I then delete them from my PC to free up more space without it syncing and deleting the files from Dropbox.com?
How can I move a shared folder I don't own out of my root directory?
I have clicked on a link to see a shared folder for which I have editing privilege. The folder is in my dropbox in the root directory, but it is no use to me there, I need it in another place in the directory structure. I cannot see how to move it, I can move the directories inside the main folder, but then it will disappear form the other peoples dropbox. I do not mind having two copies of it all as I have the space, but need to find a way to either move the main directory or the sub directory's to a different location within my dropbox without causing an issue to the person who shared with me and keep two way link enabled. I am doing this online in the web application, I do not use the desktop application, Thank you
Best way to collect client uploads in one Dropbox folder and sort by client and date
Iâm looking for some guidance on the best way to set up a streamlined upload flow for multiple clients. Goal Iâd like to have a single upload point (for example, one shared link or form) that allows multiple clients to upload files without logging in. Ideally, when they upload: They provide their email address or name Dropbox automatically routes those files into a folder structure like: Client Name (or email) â Submission date â Uploaded files So, over time Iâd end up with something like /Client A/email@clienta.com/2025-11-14/âŠfiles /Client B/email@clientb.com/2025-11-20/âŠfiles etc. Questions Is there a native Dropbox feature (e.g. File Requests or similar) that can: accept uploads from multiple people via one URL, and also capture who uploaded what in a way that could be used to organise files per client? If not fully possible natively, whatâs the best-practice approach people have used? Multiple File Requests? Dropbox + a form tool (Typeform, Jotform, etc.) + Zapier/Make to create folders and move files based on email address? Any recommended automations / templates that already do this? Iâm comfortable using third-party automation tools if needed, but Iâd love to understand whatâs realistically achievable within Dropbox first, and what the most robust setup would be.
I deleted a pending signature document in Dropbox Sign and I want to recover it
Device (Lenovo Ideapad 1) Operating System/Browser (if using the web) (Windows 11) Question or Issue I have a pending signature document in dropbox sign but I have deleted it. I want it to be recovered however, I can't see any files in the "deleted for everyone" section in dropbox sign. I also checked the "deleted files" in dropbox and there's no file in it. Please help me to recover this document in the dropbox sign.
Persistent Indicator for Files with Unresolved Comments
Currently, Dropbox shows a comment notification only when a comment is new or unread. Once the comment is read, the indicator disappears even if the comment is not resolved. This makes it hard to see which files still require attention. I would like Dropbox to introduce a persistent visual indicator (badge, icon, number, highlight, or any small marker) that appears whenever a file has unresolved comments, regardless of whether they have been read already. Why this matters: Teams use comments for review and approvals. After reading a comment, there is no quick way to see that the file still needs action. Users must open each file and check the comments panel to find unresolved comments. This leads to missed feedback and slower collaboration. How it could work: Show a small badge next to the file name in the file list when unresolved comments exist. In the file preview, show a subtle âunresolved commentsâ indicator even if all comments are read. User impact: This would help teams working with shared documents by making outstanding work visible at a glance, reducing mistakes and speeding up reviews.
