Uploaded files in a File Request not appearing in my account.
Hi. Have just checked my Files, and the one I uploaded yesterday, plus a whole slew of others, is not there. I always get an email confirming when I've uploaded, but never checked the Box before, so it's a bit of a shock that most of my audition tapes are not there! Does this mean they were never actually uploaded after all? Does it make a difference that these were tapes requested OF me and not BY me? Seems odd and worrying. Thanks.
How can we restrict who can share to groups?
I'm currently facing an issue where certain users in our Dropbox environment have the ability to share things in Team folders that they have access to. While the sharing feature works great for sharing with specific other employees, sometimes people share to the Everyone Atgroup where it results in hundreds of employees receiving email notifications that something has been shared with them. It is usually immediately unshared, but then that just creates a lot of confusion. For some context, we are in the process of migrating from local shared folders to Dropbox, and all groups other than theEveryone At group are IT-managed through AD sync. We would also like to keep the Everyone At group of possible for us to share out any documents to all employees if needed. Is there a way to restrict a users ability to see groups, or to restrict their ability to share to them?
Cannot see the files shared with me in my finder.
Hi! I can see my dropbox folders&files in the finder. However, I cannot see the 'files' shared with me in my finder. Please note, files that were shared with me is not in a folder - just the excel documents were shared. On the other hand, I can see the shared files on the dropbox item attached to menu bar (top dock). Please help!
People asked to create account when viewing my files
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?
Feedback to enhanced the sharing capabilities on Dropbox.
Feature Request: Enhanced Sharing Capabilities on Dropbox 1. Multiple Share Links with Independent Settings and Permissions Request: The ability to create separate share links for the same file/folder, each with unique permissions (e.g., view-only, comment-only, edit) and security settings (e.g., password protection, expiration dates). Why It’s Important: It’s common to share one file with different stakeholders who each require different levels of access. Separate links improve security and reduce confusion. 2. Send and Track Analytics for Shared Files Request: A feature that provides insights into how shared links are accessed—who’s viewing them, when, and how many times they’ve been viewed. Why It’s Important: Built-in analytics enable better tracking of engagement, making it easier to measure file reach and ensure important documents are actually seen. 3. Version Updates on Existing Send and Track Links Request: The ability to replace or update a file on an existing shared link (especially a “Send and Track” link) without having to issue a new link. Why It’s Important: Files often go through revisions; allowing in-place updates ensures recipients always have the most recent version, saving time and reducing the chance of outdated information circulating. These enhancements would streamline workflows for Dropbox users, particularly those who frequently share files in professional or collaborative settings.
Do collaborators automatically have access to new documents in shared content?
When I add new documents to a folder, do my collaborators who have access automatically receive access to the new documents? I notice there's a pop up box that has the option to send to them for review, but I just want to know they have an updated folder with the new documents. Thanks.
I can't see another user's updates on a shared file and they can't see mine
Please, I am sharing a file that weighs only 120 megabytes with a user who has 1.5Gb of free space in his account. We have shared the file for more than 4 weeks, today when I made an update the user cannot see it, nor can I see the updates he has made. please does anyone know what is happening and how to fix it?
