Message that my public links have been temporarily suspended for generating excessive traffic.
I do have a free account and a client send me a link that I can upload and it shows this error for some reason. I checked my email and I had this email: Hi Anna, This email is an automated notification from Dropbox letting you know that your Public links have been temporarily suspended for generating excessive traffic. I click on it and its says I am banned. I made the free trial for 1 month to see if anything changes and I still cannot use it.Wget or Curl is not downloading a folder as expected via the CLI in Linux
I am trying to download a shared folder into a unix server. I first copied that folder to my dropbox and then generated a share link. The link looks something like this: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/v5xxxxxxx/AB1xxxxxxx?rlkey=123456abc&dl=1 I have tried multiple CLI commands. Some of them are below: wget https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/v5xxxxxx/AB1xxxxxx?rlkey=12345abc&dl=1 wget https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/v5xxxxxx/AB1xxxxxx?rlkey=12345abc&dl=1 --content-disposition curl -L -o output.zip https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/v5xxxxxx/AB1xxxxxx?rlkey=12345abc&dl=1 None of them download the folder but download some script instead. I have tried pasting the URL on the web browser and that works and I can see a ~140GB zipped file starting a download. Also, I have also tested TLS connection as I saw in another post that it might have an impact. TLS v1.2 seems to be working in my CLI but not v1.3. Any help is greatly appreciated as I have been stuck on this for so many days now! TIA
I can't see files someone uploaded to my folder with the shared link
I am the owner of a folder. I shared the folder with the link for editing. The person I shared with uploaded photos to the folder but I can't see them. I can see that the person I shared with is listed under "Who can access" but I only see what I uploaded and I can't see anything she uploaded. I've tried logging in to Dropbox on my phone and by web browser on my Mac and still nothing. I've also logged out and logged in and it that didn't help either.
I'm sharing a file via link, but it forces users to install the Dropbox app.
Been using DropBox for a few years without issue. Now when I share a link … users complain that they can’t access the file and instead get page to download DropBox. For one off file sharing I would not 3d left to be forcing them to install app. Here is sample link [personal information removed per the Community's Guidelines] It brings user to window as in picture attached here: (Can’t seem to be able to add a picture direct) https://flic.kr/p/2qS6nGbFolder commands missing from "background" right click when I click on empty space next to folder
Hi there, previously, one was able to right click in empty space on a folder and have the same commands show up that show when right clicking on a folder: These are the options that show when right clicking ON the folder. And as of a recent update, these are not available when right clicking in blank space: I dug around in the registry to see if it was possible to link the command, but it shows in Directory/shellex as normal, so I imagine this is something that has changed on Dropbox side. Is it possible to bring this back at all? Thanks, Luke
Can't share links as I keep getting an error about a violation of Dropbox TOS and AUP
I keep getting the error "We’ve suspended your sharing activity because of a violation of Dropbox’s Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy" But I have no idea what content in my shared folders violates any policy.
"We’ve interrupted your sharing activity" error when trying to share files
Dear Friends So I have been using Dropbox Plus for years with and have never had this issue ever. I contacted support regarding this and they asked me to wait for 24 hours which i did. Nothing happened after 24 hours and i still got the error on every file. I created a txt file using browser and tried to share but received the same error. The PC was clean without any viruses or malware but i re-ran all the scans just to be sure again. No malware ! Frustrated, I uninstalled the dropbox from this PC, unlinked it and reinstalled it on another new pc which was also clean. Sure enough, I got the error again. I have emailed Dropbox support 2-3 times, have chatted with them but they have got no clue. It was shocking to say the least. I'm ready to delete all the cloud data as well if that can help but I'm not sure if that will help either. Just stuck with this premium account which is of no use. Can you guys suggest what could be done to get this working ? Ticket #24875011 Thanks
