Shared Files
243 TopicsCan people without Dropbox accounts work on shared files?
Hi all, I have a Dropbox Plus license. For a project I work together with two other people, none of which have a Dropbox account. I know I can share files/folders by using a link or give them permission to open a specific file/folder in my Dropbox account. But is it possible for them to change a file/folder and upload it again to my account? When they do will Dropbox still sync the changes they made with my i-Phone and i-Pad? What are the limitations when we use the folder in my account in order to work together, even if two colleagues do not have a Dropbox account? Thanks in advance and with kindest regards, Leo.Solved37Views0likes4CommentsSuddenly unable to share any files
When I try to share any file I get an error "We've interrupted your sharing activity. For details or to contact support read our help center article". I read the article and I can't find any files that could violate the terms. I don't understand what is the reason for the blocking. I created a simple test .txt file with the word test in it and I can't share it. This happens on both the desktop app and the web app. I've been able to share/transfer files in the past without any problems (last time was probably a couple of months ago).37Views0likes3CommentsHow can we move shared folders from one account to the other?
I am in the process of retiring and part of that requires me to move folders that I own and share from my Dropbox to the Dropbox of my employee. I have downloaded instructions on how to move files between two Dropbox accounts and the moving component went relatively smoothly. Both myself and my employer were logged in to our individual subscriptions online. My employer created a new folder on his Dropbox account, copied the shared files from the shared folder into the new folder, and the files disappeared from my shared folder in my Dropbox account - all good. My employer now wants to share relevant folders with his new employee but is unable to do so as he received a messaged advising he is not the owner? Does anyone have any suggestions how to fix this as we are unwilling to move any more folders until we can get this issue resolved?24Views0likes2CommentsError that my sharing activity has been interrupted, but I'm not sure why. How to resolve?
Hello, When I try to share any file I get an error "We've interrupted your sharing activity. For details or to contact support read our help center article". I read the article and I can't find any files that could violate the terms. I don't understand what is the reason for the blocking. It is impossible to contact technical support. The bot can't help in any way - it doesn't even understand the question. Are there any ways to solve this problem?25Views0likes1CommentHow can I recover a file if it's deleted?
Hi team, My wedding video showed it was deleted from the link they shared. I could access the file in Aug 2025 but yesterday when I checked it was deleted. The videographer said the file was cleared in Nov 2025:( Is there a way to recover the video? Thank you31Views0likes3CommentsHow to unshare all files previously shared with a specific person?
Is there a way to unshare with "one click" files, which have been previously shared with one specific person? A team member has left the team and his access should be removed. However there are dozens of folders that have been shared. So is it possible to unshare them without going separately to each folder?Solved40Views0likes4Comments2-page / Book view for PDF's
It would really be great to be able to view PDF's in "Two page view" like on Acrobat. It makes it much easier for clients to review documents intended to be read/viewed in spread format WHILE KEEPING THE ACCURATE PAGE NUMBERS. Yes, as a designer, I can export a document in spread view, but then the page numbers will be off (i.e. the spread of pages 4 and 5 are combined and appear as a single page 3) and can make communicating about the document complicated. To see what functionality I am talking about, please open a multi page document in Acrobat and go to the View --> Page Display options as shown in my included screen shot.65Views2likes1CommentBring back export files feature
When sharing files you used to be able to text or email the actual file and not just a link. You would choose export and then would be given the option to share a copy of the actual file or the link. With the scammers having so many digital link click bait links it's not very trust worthy to just send a link. It is one of the main functions I use regularly besides automatic camera uploads. What is the purpose of having a premium plan if it doesn't work for the reasons one needs it to work?62Views1like5Comments
