Replace files without breaking the shared link on desktop application for Mac
Hello, I have used Dropbox for years to share PDFs on my website. I work on a mac and use the Dropbox desktop application. Previously, when I wanted to replace a PDF under the same name in Dropbox, I just had to save the new PDF by selecting the file I wanted to replace within the Dropbox folder on my Mac. I would click REPLACE and it automatically updated the PDF under the same name without affecting the shared link. Recently, I noticed this is no longer the case. It now deletes the original file and replaces it with a new file under the same name. This breaks the link. Fortunately, you can replace a file under the same name without affecting the link directly in Dropbox via a browser. This is not as slick, so I hope you bring back this functionality to the desktop app for mac. Thank you! MollySolved12KViews0likes31CommentsBlank Screen Sharing Link

Can't Share Links with Edit Rights
Hi, I want to share a folder on my Dropbox with someone outside of my team. I am using an admin account which is part of a Business Dropbox account. I can create a read-only link but when I go onto Settings there is no way to change the permissions granted by the link. Am I doing something wrong? Our relevant Sharing settings are: Sharing externally -> On Sharing links externally -> On Default shared link privacy -> Anyone Thank you, DianaSolved9.3KViews1like8Comments
Need to kill a shared link to tinyurl.
I created a shared link for anyone with the link, and had tinyurl give it a nice short name without a tinyurl account so can't delete that. If I now unshare the folder in Dropbox that should kill the tinyurl from working, correct? Then can I rename the folder, share with a link again and get a different url to use? I know files have their own I'd and renaming will not affect the link you first got for sharingSolved8.4KViews0likes3CommentsRAW=1 link no longer working for videos in Chrome
Hi, For MP4 videos, when I share links, I change the dl=0 at the end of the link to raw=1. This no longer seems to work in Google Chrome as of the past few days. Was there something changed on your end to cause this issue? Others I share links with have the same issues, so it is not specific to my device. . Example: DL=0 (original) link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rdna7jwuzev1eg2/Sunnyhill%20-%202021-03-15%20-%20Ray%20of%20Light%20-%20The%20Limping%20Goat%20%28Rumi%29.mp4?dl=0 Changed to raw=1: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rdna7jwuzev1eg2/Sunnyhill%20-%202021-03-15%20-%20Ray%20of%20Light%20-%20The%20Limping%20Goat%20%28Rumi%29.mp4?raw=1 Thanks!

When I share a folder with someone, and allow them to edit the folder, I notice that I get alerts every time that person makes changes to the shared Dropbox folder. So if, for example, they upload new files to the folder, I get a message saying just that. So my question is, when I make changes to that folder, is the person with whom I shared the folder getting the same alerts ... or am I (the person who sent the link) the only one who is getting the alerts ...? On a related note, if the other person is getting the alerts, is there a way to adjust the settings so that the other person is not getting the alerts ...? I don't care if I (myself) get the alerts or not ... but I do care if the other person is getting the alerts. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.Solved7KViews0likes2Comments
