Hi, I was part of a Dropbox team and received an email saying I was removed by an administrator. The team owner says she did not remove me and isnât aware of any changes. Nor does she know how to fix this. After this: A large folder of team video files is now showing inside my personal Dropbox These files are taking up my personal storage This was not the case before, they were only accessible through the team Iâm not trying to delete these files. I need things restored to how they were before: I should not be removed from the team These files should not be stored in or counted against my personal account Can someone explain: How I was removed without the owner doing it? Why team files appear to have been transferred into my personal account? How to reverse this so access and storage go back to the original setup? Any help would be appreciated.
Excel files missing data after a Dropbox update and cannot find it in version history
Application Affected (Dropbox) Operating System/Browser (if using the web) (Windows 11) Dropbox App Version (if using the app) (244.4.6580) Question or Issue Since the recent update a folder which contains some excel files is missing some of the data from the excel file since it was updated on Mon 23rd March 2026. Some cells still have the data and others are blank. This has never happened before and i cannot see anything saved in the older version when I look at trying to restore the file. Basically the 'restore function' does not even show an older version beyond Feb so it has just vanished. Can you help asap? Thanks NeilTell Us How You Use Dropbox
No two people use Dropbox in exactly the same way. Some of you rely on it every day for work, others for school, creative projects, or keeping life organized - and we love that. Weâd love to hear how youâre using Dropbox today - is it something you use once in a while, is it part of your day to day, are there any features you canât live without? What workflows have you built that save time or reduce friction? And where do you see opportunities for us to do better? Your tips, ideas, and honest feedback really help us to make sure we can share useful tips, and they help other community members discover new ways to get more out of Dropbox too. Share your experience, favorite features, or suggestions in the comments below. Your voice truly helps shape the future of the Dropbox community đ The Dropbox Community Team

Hey everyone! What a year! Iâve loved chatting with you all throughout 2025 - hearing your favourite Dropbox features, clever hacks and the all the ways you use Dropbox to keep life running smoothly. This community is really pure magic. Every week, you jumped in to help each other, share tips and celebrate wins. We had loads of Community Members of the Month, plenty of Mighty Answer badges and so many âaha!â moments. And the stories! From photographers sharing galleries, to coders syncing across Windows and Linux, to the person who who said syncing across threes computers and two homes was âbeautifulâ - you all really kept the forums lively, helpful and fun! One iPhone user was especially happy with the 2025 Live Photos update, which finally let them migrate their whole collection smoothly. It was made even sweeter knowing the feature came directly from an idea shared right here in the community. And, I adored hearing how Dropbox helps in everyday life, like the member who said: Weâve had our fair share of community adventures this year, but we made it through together and every time I got to say âI am glad to see your issue was resolvedâ, it honestly made my day. Last year we gave the Community a fresh new look and glow-up, and we really appreciate everyoneâs patience with the changes throughout 2025. Itâs amazing to see how far weâve come, and weâre even more excited for whatâs ahead. There are some fab new updates and improvements coming in 2026⊠so stay tuned! A huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone who got involved in conversations this year. Those who asked questions, those who answered them, and those who felt comfortable sharing ideas, frustrations, clever workarounds, and even honest feelings about Dropbox. And of course, a special shout-out to our amazing Super Users âŠyouâre absolute stars and this community wouldnât be the same without you. So thatâs it from us for 2025! Have a safe and happy time over the holiday period, and Iâll see you all in 2026How To Check If Your Space Is Being Used By A Shared Folder and How To Leave A Shared Folder
Shared folders are one of the easiest ways to collaborate with others while using Dropbox. Having a shared space makes everything simpler when youâre working on a project, sharing family photos or keeping your teams files all organised. But you might be wondering: Does this shared folder take up space in my Dropbox account? And what if I no longer need access - how do I leave it? Does a Shared Dropbox Folder Count Toward My Storage? It depends on how the folder was share with you and what level of access you have. Hereâs how to check: Sign in to dropbox.com and click All files. Look for folders with a two-person icon đ„ - these are shared folders. Hover over the folder name and click the ââŠâ (More) menu. Choose Share â then Settings. Youâll see one of these options: Can edit â the folders contents do take up space in your Dropbox account Can view â the folders contents donât count toward your space Tip: You can also check shared folders directly from the Dropbox desktop app - the 2 person icon works the same way there too. How to Leave a Shared Dropbox Folder I No Longer Need If you see âCan editâ and you no longer need access, itâs really easy to remove yourself from the folder. Hereâs how: Go to dropbox.com and sign in. Click Shared in the left sidebar. Find the folder you want to leave. Click the ââŠâ (More) button next to it. Select Leave folder â and confirm. Once you leave: The shared folder and its files are removed from your Dropbox. Theyâll no longer count toward your storage. Other members will still have access as usual. If you originally created the shared folder, youâll need to transfer ownership before leaving. To do that: Open the folderâs Share settings. Click the dropdown beside another memberâs name. Select Make owner â then leave the folder. That way, everyone who needs it still has access and the ownership transfers smoothly. And thatâs it! Keeping your Dropbox account organised is a simple way to make more room for what matters most - your ideas, projects and memories. If you ever change your mind and want back into a folder in the future, just ask the owner to share it with you again. Got questions about shared folders?
