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:
Can we stop someone with access to a shared link from sharing it with other people?
Hi all, I have a problem with a specific Dropbox setting. I know that what I want to do should be possible, but unfortunately, I can't figure it out. That's why I need your help. It's about the following: I want to share files with clients using Dropbox. I don't want these clients to have to install Dropbox themselves, because we don't want to drive up extra costs for the clients. But I want to prevent the folder links from being made public or shared with people who aren't supposed to have access. How did I set this up? Inside Dropbox, I created a client folder Within this client folder are several subfolders In the LINK FOR VIEWING settings of the client folder and in the subfolders, I selected 'ANYONE WITH LINK' under 'Who can access', because the clients are not added as members in Dropbox. We don't send the links directly to the client, but we copy and paste the shared link into Webflow, where we have created a client page. The link refers to a specific folder on the client page The client has access to the client page. Logins are handled via Memberstack. Using the above, clients can log in to the client page and have access to their files. But what is the issue now? The client can copy the link from the folder and forward this link to someone who is not logged in to the client page. This other person can then use the link to gain access to the Dropbox folder. And that last part is exactly what we want to prevent. How can I prevent this? I have a Dropbox Business Plan and I am the admin. I hope anyone can help me out.
Freezing and endless uploading and downloading of files on Windows.
Freezing and endless uploading and downloading of files. Restarting the program does not help, rebooting the PC does not help either. I use the 15Tb tariff, but in response I get a non-working service. Help me solve the issue, because very urgent projects do not go according to plan due to this problem
"You need permission to perform this action" each time I'm creating a folder.
I have searched through the forum for a solution but have yet to find one. I am using the desktop and trying to create a folder and keep getting the error, "destination folder access denied" "you need permission to perform this action". I have unchecked "read only" in the properties and it re-checks "read only" as soon as I go back to try to create a folder. I am the owner, administrator etc of this computer and I pay for a drop box plan. I recently got a new computer and have had this issue ever since! I should not have to log into dropbox online every time I want to create a folder. I am running windows 11. I have ensured that I have the proper permissions checked. I do not know what else I can do at this point. Please help, as this is affecting my day to day business.Allow us to create top level team folders locally on the desktop app again.
The new feature wherein no one can create a top level team folder locally on computer is the dumbest thing I have come across. I see it is no longer possible even rename the folders. Hope this idiotic feature is eliminated else I will move to one drive.
