External users cannot upload to a shared folder they have edit access to
Been trying to get this to work for many years but always give up and use a different service. On my company’s team dropbox I want to create a folder with the purpose of collaborating with outside vendors. I can create invites, confirm access with edit permissions for the outside person, and they can join no problem, but they only ever have download permissions and can’t upload anything to our folder. Am I missing some permission setting? The other method of using a File Request for them to upload something does work but isn’t ideal. These are the settings used for the most recent attempt:
Do shared folders from other people count against my quota?
Someone shared a folder with me and it's making my dropbox too full to be basic account so I upgraded for two-months. IT seems wrong that Dropbox is forcing me to upgrade when someone else, who pays for their account, and shared a folder with me so I can work on a couple of documents for them. Is this right? Is there a workaround? Dropbox Plan: Basic Payment Method: N/A How did you upgrade? Recent downgrade Question or Issue Please describe the problem, in detail. Include what you expected to happen vs. what is happening. Please include any relevant screenshots, error messages or ticket numbers. I have an error because I downgraded my account to basic and can't access files, but these are not my files, they are just someone else's files I'm working on I'm not the folder owner Why do I need a paid account to access and work on someone else's files?
I can't open a folder shared with me; it appears grayed out on the Dropbox website.
Device mac Book Air Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Chrome Syncing Status I have no idea how to check this Question or Issue I'd like to access the Hypnosis -Money folder--it is a MP3 shared with me but I can't --as you can see it is shaded out. Not clickable. Thanks!
A shared folder member is getting a "You are out of memory" error
My shared account, one of musicans that I share a folder with is using windows, and he keeps having issues. The error message he was receiving is “You are out of memory”, I have asked him to delete. his old free DropBox account, which he said he did. I know it’s not my account, because I have 2 TB, and not even close to using a 10th of it. He told me the message he gets from DB is he needs to establish an account using a email address?? I have invited him, with edit and view rights, and even sent a link. He thinks because he briefly paid for an account 30 years ago, the his windows laptop is hard coded. How can he strip any reference to his old DropBox off his windows laptop, and what if he tried a new password. Another weird thing is, when I look at his name it has a red disabled next to his name
Using Dropbox as a method to deliver photos to clients
Question or Issue I have a photography company. Over the years the method of delivering photos to clients has evolved from CD to USB drives and now to Dropbox folders. The problem I (actually my clients) have is some of my clients have complained that they had to purchase a Dropbox account in order to access the shared folder I created for them. Am I doing something wrong, or are they?
The admin needs to send a code every time someone wants to access a shared file.
accessing new shared files was easy by opening the email link. Now the admin person has to send a code as well for access. It is very confusing for not tech savvy people and also means the admin person has to be available all the time to send the code. please stop this nonsense or tell me how I can turn it off.
Error when trying to create a top level folder from my local Dropbox folder
This is still going on? I cannot create a top level folder through Windows file explorer, even though I am the owner of the account? People have been bitching about this for at least a year. Logging in to the website just to create a folder is cumbersome and aggravating. It used to work through explorer, why did that change? You should change it back, it doesn't seem like it would be difficult and would result in fewer complaints and possible departures to other cloud options.
