Hi there. We run a community radio station, and people are constantly uploading new audio files to us, so our email account is getting bombarded with notifications every time a new file arrives. We check our Dropbox account regularly, so these notifiations are completely unnecesssary, and we would like to have the option of turning them off. I looked through the Dropbox forums, and it appears as though other users have been requesting this feature for many years, but you still haven't implemented it! Can you pleae take this into consideration?199Views5likes4CommentsHow can I use the password, in order to access a password-protected file?
I was sent a file to my dropbox for which I have the password. I just don't know where to input the password inside of dropbox so that I can access the zipped file.... please help!!!... it's from a potential client that will be huge for my agency, but I do not want to look like a fool by not being able to access a simple file... I'm sure the process is so easy. I'm gonna get pissed when I finally figured it out...Solved6.3KViews0likes3Commentsselect video keyframe
When video is uploaded and link is sent to client it displays a random frame somewhere in the middle of the video. It would be much better if we were able to select a frame or if that is to hard - display nothing at all. This issue often results in the receiving party frustrated over the frame they see first, which may be confusing or unappealing as a still image.61Views0likes2CommentsHow can I remove the 'edit document' permission from a shared document?
I just shared a document with Y. I didn't want them to be able to edit it, but I don't see where I should have set that up before I sent it to them. Now that it's been sent to Y, can I still make that change? thanks in advance for the help27Views0likes1CommentUpdating view-only links in Dropbox Replay
It would be great if you could update videos with in view-only links or if they act like "live" feedback links. At the moment view-only links are locked to the version at which you selected, if there was an another version at the top which said "live" or something similar, which always showed the most up to date video file, but in a view-only setting, that would be perfect.40Views1like1CommentSharing activity in the desktop app isn't working.

If I send a link to one of my folders and the person via the link is taken to the opening page, they find they are confronted with a banner asking them to creat an account. One can clic outside of the banner and it disappears and they have access to the files. But a few people found the banner intimidating and figured they had to create an account and abandoned their attempt to view the files. Is there a way to turn this marketing off?Solved147Views1like9CommentsI shared a folder with someone but they cannot access the contents
Device HP laptop Operating System/Browser (if using the web) (Windows 11) I just posted this but it's not showing up. I shared a parent folder with my VA for photos with 7 child folders inside it. She couldn't access that folder. So I shared one child folder with her and she can open that one, but doesn't see all the photos that I put into it. Both the parent folder and child folder show that they are "shared'. What's am I doing wrong? I can put screenshots if it would help. Thank you!Solved88Views0likes10CommentsDo we all need to upgrade to have access to the space when using a shared folder?
The board of my housing cooperative (which I am a member of) is currently using a Dropbox Basic plan for our documents. We're nearing the 2GB limit. I think one of us created an account using the cooperative e-mail and invited the members to the folder where we store the documents My question is, is it sufficient to upgrade the owner's account to Plus. Or do every user need to upgrade our plans to Plus? Reason why I'm asking is that all members now receive the warning that space is running out, even though the files are not in our accounts (just shared with us).44Views0likes1Comment
