Hi everyone, im chating with IA and the app designed an excel and is trying to send it to me with a dropbox link. But when i click in the link it says that de link is wrong. Do you know if its possible what im trying to do? I cant solve it. (i tried with a lot of plataforms with same result) Thanks35Views0likes3CommentsRemove "Login/SignUp" Dialog box from shared link download
Currently, when I send a client a link to download a file using the Dropbox share file functionality, they are directed to a preview page. When they click the Download button, they are presented with a dialog box prompting them to sign in or sign up for Dropbox. At the bottom of this dialog box, in text that more closely resembles a legal disclaimer, they are given the option to download without signing up. As a paid user, I cannot entertain this dark UI feature. If I need to provide clients with an instruction manual on how to work around a dark UI feature, then it makes me look really cheap and really hacky. Not only does it make me look bad, but it's also a really nasty look for the Dropbox brand.93Views3likes5CommentsI've left comments for some students, but they can't see them after sharing the files.
I have made comments on some students' papers. They are visible on my end. They are also visible on my professors' end. They are NOT visible when they share them back to the students. If we download the files to make sharing easy for the students, there are no comments anymore for the students to see.24Views0likes1CommentCorrupted Word Documents
I am at my wit's end! I didn't realise that DropBox would corrupt files. I now have several Word documents in a folder that I need for my course work assessment which are no longer Word documents and which won't open. I'm actually really worried - I trusted DropBox and am actually thinking I shouldn't have...Can anyone tell me what has happened please? Also my tutor is unable to open the PDF files - they open with a padlock and are so tiny he can't read them...he is one of those listed as being able to open them (TM ). Please help me - I need all this for my assessment and am now seriously worried. Thank you.Solved6.9KViews0likes24CommentsHow to View a Shared File???
I received 2 emails that said a client shared 2 files with me via Dropbox. In each email, there is a View File blue button to click, which I did. I was then prompted to create a Dropbox account which I did. I opened a free basic acct. In my "Shared" folder [left-hand Nav], I see what I think are two files shared with me -- they are large video files. When I click on them, I see the message that they are previews and in order to see the full file, I must "add them to my Dropbox." These files are too large to download. I have tried that. How THE HECK do I add these shared files to my Dropbox??? Thank you.Solved1.6KViews0likes2CommentsCannot download files
My colleague sent me a link to several files. I logged into Dropbox and I could see the files in "recents". When I hovered over a file, there was no ellipsis and option to download. When I clicked on "options" it said I had to download a video app. When I clicked on that it said it wasn't working. I just wanted to download the files anyway and then use different apps to open them. Why could I not download them?Solved715Views0likes2Comments
