You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
I need to be able to send files to people without a Dropbox account, but can't anymore.
I received an email from Dropbox this morning that said, "Please sign in!We noticed you're not taking advantage of your Dropbox account." That's right, I'm not, I haven't been signing in, and I'll tell you why. I always used Dropbox to share files with other people. If I'm not mistaken, you ruined that functionality by suddenly insisting that the only people you could share files with were those who had Dropbox accounts themselves. This made Dropbox essentially useless, at least to me and I'm sure to many others. Restore your previous functionality and I'll be happy to again sign into my account and take advantage of it. Thank you.Bring back File Request option in File Explorer.
I used to be able to initiate a "Request Files" by right clicking on the file I wanted the documents to go into. This is more efficient that having to go to the web version, as I 99.9% work out of the File Explorer on my PC. Please bring back the option to "Request Files" in the right click menu.
I can't verify my email address to share a folder
I have used Dropbox previously with no issues at another company. I have bought the basic plan and advised by dropbox support. When I go to share the folder, its says I need to verify my email first. I click on the verify link and it takes me back to the folder but I still can't share the folder! Please help!
Can my daughter use part of my Dropbox?
Hi there I have an 10 year old kid, and set her up with her own DB. However, the moment I shared a folder with her (which has photos and videos from an event she went to) it reached 2.1GB and maxed out. I have a 2TB account and just want to be able to let her use part of MY DB to store her pics and videos. She's too young to have her own account really. I can't move to a Family account as that would be a lot less space than I am currently using in mine (I have over a decade of content in it). Is there any way to make a folder which I can share with her, and she uses my storage space and not hers?
