2603 TopicsPermissions for sub-folders
Hi People, Drop box Business user. We have 3 folders at the highest level.. Folder 1 Folder 2 Team folder We have different permissions for access to Folder 1 & Folder 2 depending on staff's requirements. Some staff can only access Folder 2, but all can access Folder 1. Team Folder is not used (could be the solution, see below) We now have the need to lock certain folders within Folder 1 and Folder 2 to just 1 or 2 users e.g Folder 1>Financials Folder 2>Financials My impression is this cant be done using our structure unless we move these folders to their own folder 'Folder 3' and set permissions for that. A bit of googling makes me beleive this may be possible in the 'Team Folder' as these have extra features.. If so how do I do it? and can I move Folder 1 and Folder 2 inside of 'Team Folder' with ease or is it a PITA?

I work with one other person. We were both working on our laptops on the same file in our shared Dropbox folder. (I was adding to a working list and she was editing above.) But I kept getting an odd request for permission and the file name changed to a long sequence of numbers and letters and was saved in another folder called "old files." So the attempt to work on the same file at the same time failed. How can we make this work?Solved13KViews0likes7CommentsIs it possible to allow someone to view a shared file but not download it?
Hi there, I am looking to upload some videos for people to "view" but not download. Is there a way to set this up this way? Once they have paid for their video, I would then like to give them access to download it. Let me know if this is possible. Thank you.Solved9.4KViews0likes9CommentsHow to get the URL of an image for an HTML email?
I uploaded an image for use in an HTML email, then shared it and copied the link. After putting the link in my email, and testing the email, the image will not show up. It is just a broken link. I have not put it in a shared folder because I did not want users who get the email to be able to access the folder and its contents, but the file itself is shared. Am I using the wrong link?Solved15KViews0likes5CommentsMissing "Copy Dropbox link" from the drop-down menu on Mac.

I have an excel spreadsheet on my desktop computer that uses macros in order to automatically sort my tenants. When i upload this spreadsheet into a shared file folder with my partners, the macros no longer work and the file is not automatically sorting. What is going on. Why does it disable macros?5.4KViews0likes9CommentsSecurity concern: my full name appears on public folder links!
I recently shared a video from my public Dropbox folder - I copy/pasted a link to the video. When I shared the video w a friend, they pointed out that my full name shows up on the video link!! That's very concerning seeing that it's in the public folder which I would expect the Dropbox team to take appropriate precautions for maintaining my privacy - especially if I shared a file from my public folder. Interestingly that doesn't come up when I check on my laptop. But I just checked the link on my phone, and I see my full name! See attach a screenshot below.. (I blocked out my last name and the file name, but you can see my name shows up in the circled area) Does anyone know to remove my full name when sharing a link like this through my public Dropbox folder?6.4KViews2likes3CommentsHow do I get a Dropbox URL link ending with mp3?
