Secure and hidden files
It would be a great idea to implement an extra layer of protection to be able to hide certain files or be able to lock them with a set password within the app since I experience multiple users on multiple machines of mine being able to access most of the files. Therefor I would really benefit from a folder I can lock with my personal password and therefor hide sensitive information or files that should not be accessed by other users but me. I would suggest calling it something like Vault or Hidden Files. This could also be done via integration through the apps, let people decide if they want to install the vault feature or not.
Is it necessary to have to verify identity when accessing a shared folder through a link?
I shared a folder to "anyone with the link". When someone tries to access it from a new browser (never signed in to Dropbox before) they are always hit with a message to verify identity. Is there no way around this message so they can just get to the folder? Attaching screenshot. Thanks, Christi
Team folders in Power Automate have stopped working after 20/04/2024 upgrade
Since the upgrade to Dropbox on the 20/04/2024 we have encountered a number of issues with apps and programs that utilise Dropbox. Rather than confusing the issue, the first of these relates to Microsoft power automate. The team Dropbox folders that are shared with me and monitored by this program have now disappeared. The only Dropbox folders I can see our my specific folders, and not those that I have access to as part of a team. In my DBL Dropbox desktop folder I have my profile folder and then I have access to all the team folders that I am part of. I can access these on my desktop and online without an issue. The problem I have is that if I am trying to access these team folders through any other software, they are not visible following the upgrade on 20 April? This is causing major issues and I assume that there is a setting that needs to be changed for me and my colleagues? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Full video not downloading, only part of it.
Not really sure what is going on... I have tried downloading multiple different video files that are on a shared dropbox, but the full video does not download. It says on my computer that the video is the full length, etc. but it only downloads up to about 20minutes max (usually a max of 5-7GB). (I am using a chrome browser) Has anyone had this issue and know how to resolve?
I deleted a shared user, and tried to add them again, but got an error
I intended to share an external clients' folder with them. Somehow they were granted access to our full Dropbox as a team member. I removed/deleted them as a team member and I'm trying to share only their file and now I get an error saying, "One or more of these emails is no longer active." How can I resolve to share their folder with the same email?
I need to remove some members from my shared folders, but I don't seem to be the owner.
I have discontinued a business relationship with a few people and would now like to unshare some of my folders in Dropbox. However, I don't seem to be able to do that, and what's worse, one of the ex-associates seems to be the OWNER of a folder in my account! How do I fix this? Mike.
Separate folders shared by me and shared with me under the Shared tab.
In MS OneDrive - I have two lists: shared to me shared by me In Dropbox - that one menu-choice "shared" - is one very "foggy" thing. I want clear view: 1. what have I shared to someone? (maybe I discover that there is something I should "unshare") 2. what is shared to me? Maybe there is some rubbish - I don't want it anymore.
