Users downloading a file from a dl=0&raw=1 shared link get a 0 bytes download
Question or issue I’m trying to share .pdf files with my clients by redirecting (302) them to shared link with dl=0&raw=1 query params in link to force browser open it in browser. By the way, almost every russian client get file download, but receiving 0 bytes, error to download and somehow file name is file.pdf in downloads, but in dropbox is other name, something like Привет.pdf. I’ve tested it by my own and there is no problems. It opens in android and ios in different browsers. Is it problem that they trying to download file in russia?
The install link on the Dropbox site sometimes redirects to the beta version of the desktop app
The virtual links to download dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/download https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64 sometimes (like once in 30 tries) redirect automatically to the latest BETA build instead of the latest STABLE build. No clue why, but watch these for a couple of minutes and you'll probably see build 238.3.5977 appear while true ; do curl -sI "https://www.dropbox.com/download" | grep '^location: https:' ; sleep 1.5 ; done or while true ; do curl -sI "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | grep '^location: https:' ; sleep 1.5 ; done
How to view the full date in a directory listing on the site?
Device Web Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Firefox/Chrome MacOS Question or Issue How do I view full dates, not relative dates, when listing files and folders? So basically: <filename> <type> <2025-11-30 21:55> Not "one hour ago" nor "six months ago" Relative dates mean nothing to my use cases.
Help with downloading my stuff from the website
Hi, I had a Dropbox subscription that didn’t suit my needs, and I eventually stopped using the service. I forgot about it until I received a notice that my files would be deleted because my account is over the free plan limit. That part is understandable. However, I’m having trouble downloading my materials. Some files are over 150 GB, and the app has been giving me issues. I managed to manually download some files through my browser, but now I’ve received an email saying that my traffic exceeded the 20 GB daily limit. Since my files are much larger than that, I’m stuck. What can I do? How can I contact someone at Dropbox to help me download my files so I can then delete my account? Thanks in advance.
How to stop the upgrade notifications on my Dropbox online?
I've had the Dropbox Plus plan for over 10 years and have been more or less happy with the service. My account is about ⅓ full at any given time. Most of the time I use the desktop app (Mac OS 15.6.1, dropbox v.237.4.5655) which syncs my files across 3 devices and between several apps. I don't sync all files to the desktop obviously, so sometimes I have to log in to the web version to see all files. Dropbox bombards me with requests to upgrade to business level and work with "my team". not just once or twice, but EVERY TIME I log in. That and the giant green button at the top a different color from everything else on the page constantly begging me to upgrade... aaaarrrrrghhhhh. Is the desktop site intended to drive away non-corporate customers? I've done lots of projects with other people and the whole point of using Dropbox was the ease of passing files between all our different freelance accounts. It's out-of-proportion annoying. I have scoured all the notification and account settings and found nothing. Please how can I stop it? thanks!
File names not appearing in ‘Recents’
I am using the online version of Dropbox. It has been working well but recently when using the Recents tab the list displays a list of images, but the file names that contain the images are missing. I can find the files and download from All Files but I like the convenience of the Recents tab. I am on Windows 7 which I know is outdated but it has been working fine until now.
My shared links won't copy to my clipboard on the web browser.
Device (Macbook Pro 2021) Operating System/Browser (if using the web) (macOS 15.7.2 / Safari 18.6) Question or Issue Using Safari web browser on my Macbook, when creating a share link to a file or folder, even though it says the link has copied, it will not paste into an email or anything else. I've even tried to opening the standard Text Edit app and pasting as plain text. It just comes up blank. I've tried right clicking on the 'copy link' but that just pastes the folder path as the URL with with a # on the end (no permissions code). The clipboard on the mac also shows as blank after it copies. It wipes off anything I previously copied from the clipboard, so it's clearly trying to do something, but no link is actually being copied. So even though I can create the share link, I have no way of getting it on my laptop. The only thing that has changed recently is that I upgraded my OS to 15.7.2 on 17 Nov, along with the browser version. But I have shared a file the day after I upgraded. I've also tried other web browsers and I'm having the same issue. Other things will copy and paste fine in other apps and websites. Only having the issue with Dropbox. It works fine on the phone app. No issues there. Just in the web browser. That'll be my temporary solution for now is to create it on the phone app and send it to myself. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks Sean
