Error that my sharing activity has been interrupted because files might contain phishing content.
Device Dell Zbook Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Windows 11 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 238.4.6305 Syncing Status Up to date" Question or Issue I was unable to copy sharing link to one of my colleague, of the folder which is already shared and being used in multiple of my devices and shared persons' devices. This is happening no matter what folder or file i select.
Don't Require Quota to Access Shared Folders
It makes absolutely no sense that I have to increase my quota in order to access a folder that someone is sharing with me. That quota is already being paid for by the other person. Did you let your CFO design the user experience, because this is absolutely NOT customer obsessed. As a customer, I should be able to access folders and storage shared from another customer's account regardless of the amount of quota I have. Even if I have a free account, I should be able to access the content. Requiring customers to have paid quota to a access a folder shared with them is certainly going to backfire from a net promoter score point of view. I, for one, will never be recommending that anyone use DropBox to share files until this functionality is fixed.
How can I upload files to my client's folder, without paying for extra space?
Hello, I have a basic dropbox account that I never use. However I have a client that made a folder for me to download files. However I am trying to upload folders to his account/folder and it won't let me because it says I don't have enough space. How can I get around this as I don't want to pay for an account as I never use dropbox? Thank you everyone!
Remove Login/SignUp dialog from download flow when sharing link to files
More often than not, when I share a link with a client who is not a Dropbox user, they respond to me, asking if I can please share the file with them using a method other than Dropbox because they do not want to sign up for an account. I will then have to send them detailed instructions on how to download the file, because while they can actually accomplish this without an account, the current UX/UI dissuades that by displaying Login/SignUp so prominently in the hierarchy that the small text offering the "download only" option is illegible or otherwise pushed below the fold.
I don't want to login/signup/copy to or copy link.
I'm using a personal setup with a Plus account, not planning to upgrade further. So within the Plus Account... I set this up to let a group of people view pdf's, photos, mp4s. NOT to link to them; they can share my link to the folders. I'm giving out a VIEW link and it allows downloads which is exactly what I want. I do not want them to join my folder. JUST to view them online or download them. From what I've seen every screen shows the line So&So shared this folder... (which is fine with me but the next part is not) I do not want the to Log in or Sign up. & I do not want 2 or the 3 button/boxes below that: Copy to Dropbox & Copy Link — because I don't want them to share the content. Does anyone know of any tip or trick to either hide these or nullify them? (Without an upgrade because the fees jump too drastically for this project.) I should mention that there are many friends that will View this content and Share it via my own link so giving each person a link would take major time. It's a privacy/respect-the-people thing. Hoping...
