External users cannot upload to a shared folder they have edit access to
Been trying to get this to work for many years but always give up and use a different service. On my company’s team dropbox I want to create a folder with the purpose of collaborating with outside vendors. I can create invites, confirm access with edit permissions for the outside person, and they can join no problem, but they only ever have download permissions and can’t upload anything to our folder. Am I missing some permission setting? The other method of using a File Request for them to upload something does work but isn’t ideal. These are the settings used for the most recent attempt:
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!
The Dropbox desktop app on Mac keeps giving an error that 32 files are unable to sync
Dropbox Plan Plus Are you a Team Member or Admin? Admin Do you have access to the email linked to the account? Yes Are there any devices connected to your Dropbox account? Laptop Only Question or Issue Hi 32 files in my Dropbox folder refuse to sync. When I click See Issues it pops up a Sync Issues window that keeps flashing, reloading the list of sync issues every second or so. I was able to click the open permissions button next to the files before the screen refreshed to grant permissions but nothing ever happens. I have attached screenshots. I have already granted full disk access and accessibility permission to dropbox. I also deleted the dropbox and dropboxelectron folders from ~/Library/Application Support followed by an uninstall and reinstall. Any ideas what's going on? Also I have Malwarebytes Premium on this computer. Thanks.
"Disable downloads" feature not working on the desktop app
Hi, I have the essentials plan but I do not have the feature to disable downloads. I have the "allow downloads on dropbox.com" toggled off(see picture) but that doesn't work because someone can still download it. Can someone point to me where is this "disable download" feature that I see online? Does it even exist within my current plan? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
