Permissions
245 TopicsI'd like to be able to change the permissions on all shared links at the same time.
import a feature that changes the permissions of all the shared links simultaneously I'm having a hard time changing the validity of each link, and it's really tiring. This feature would be a miracle for me, it would make things easier. I want all the links. Anyone with the link can watch the video, but unfortunately some links are team-only, and I have to change their validity for whoever has the link. I hope you make this feature available. I have thousands of links, and I have to change them all, and it's very tiring.115Views7likes5CommentsDescribe reason for admin signing in as a user
When an admin uses the "log in as user"/"sign in as user" feature in the web admin interface, a confirmation prompt appears warning the admin that all other admins will get notified by email. It would be nice if this confirmation prompt included a text entry box where the admin could describe the reason for signing in as a member, and if this reason was included in the email sent to other admins and in the audit logs. Use case: Our admins are regularly accessing the Dropbox account of a recently departed senior employee to look for certain files. Currently, the Dropbox admins manually send emails to the other admins to let them know the reason for the access.26Views0likes2CommentsRemove the delete ability from external user(s)
PLEASE allow us to restrict the ability of external users to delete files and folders in a shared folder. I just ran into an issue where a user, that had edit permission, deleted all of the files and folders in a shared folder. Allow us to restrict the ability to delete by users. Or change the view permission to upload files and folders. This seems so easy to do, yet it doesn't happen. If I'm missing a setting, please enlighten me. Thank you.59Views0likes3CommentsI deleted a shared user, and tried to add them again, but got an error
I intended to share an external clients' folder with them. Somehow they were granted access to our full Dropbox as a team member. I removed/deleted them as a team member and I'm trying to share only their file and now I get an error saying, "One or more of these emails is no longer active." How can I resolve to share their folder with the same email?13Views0likes1CommentThe option to remove myself from a shared folder is not appearing.
Just like others have shared, the option to remove myself from a shared folder is not appearing. I needed to upload some large files to an organization's dropbox, which is owned by the organization. I am not the owner of any of the individual files or folders yet I still can't remove myself. I also am technically out of space so I can't add the last file I need to for this folder -_-... I am thinking if I can remove myself and then re-add it, I can add that last file and be done with it. I don't need access to it regularly, the whole point is transferring these files to this organization.37Views0likes8CommentsI'm not receiving the password reset email to login to my account.
I have a paid Essentials Dropbox account through July 2025 under an AOL email. Even though I added "no-reply" to my contacts, I have not been able to receive a password reset link in my AOL account. There does not seem to be any way to contact Dropbox by email or phone, and I can't access my files. I don't remember the last time I accessed Dropbox or shared a file, so I can't reset my password that way. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.58Views0likes4CommentsUnknown computer on my Dropbox devices list
Can you find out where a computer that is syncing with your Dropbox is located? There is an unknown computer in my sync list. I don't want to delete it until I make sure I can't identify it. I am concerned it is a previous employee.714Views0likes3CommentsCan't upload material to a link from someone else's account?
I'm trying to upload 1.5tb of data to a link on someone else's account. They have expanded their data quota to allow for this much data, however the dropbox upload keeps failing at my end. the 1.5TB of data is a collection of raw video media (so it's several hundred thousand files within a series of folders) When I tried to upload this via Apple Safari, the upload repeatedly stopped. I was uploading by loading the URL for the upload link to my friend's dropbox account, and then either dragging & dropping the files onto the upload link or using the folder hierarchy to navigate through the folders to select the material from an external hard drive. I've tried swapping to using Google Chrome for the upload, and now the upload link is asking for my name & email address (as per image below). this link wasn't asking for this information on the Safari web page; why am I being asked to submit my name & email? I've tried putting in my name & email address on the google page Further, the google chrome link doesn't appear to be working either45Views0likes1CommentAdding more options for folder permissions aside from "Can edit" and "Can view"
Similarly to how local network drives allow for specific permissions, I wish Dropbox had more granular permissions other than Can View & Can Edit. For instance, a user in our company has been accidentally moving, duplicating, and in very rare instances, been deleting files and folders from other user's projects. Thankfully folder activity exists so we can see who was responsible and when it happened, but I would still love to be able to restrict users from doing certain actions in specific folders. Especially for those files you don't want deleted or moved.72Views0likes4Comments
