Seeking advice from a team member about using direct image links
I'm testing using the shared link pf images (combined with the edited URL via vercel ) to share a dropbox'd file on a bbcode social media. It seems to be working wonderfully and the idea of being able to update the file and have it update on my page without reuploading it to a third host like IMGBB, seems too good to be true! Is there any caveat to using this? Is it against terms of service in any way? I assume it is just inefficient enough that it's not likely to be abused like it was on discord haha. I will still use imgbb for misc coding images but for my client works, I hate having copies of them floating all over the place and possibly suffering compression; or being out of date because I cannot tinker with the html page every day. I hoped for feedback before I updated my whole code to dropbox links, thank you. 💫
We can no longer add an expiration date or password for our shared links on Family.
Hello, We used to be able to set a password or expiry time for shared files and folders in Dropbox Family. Now this this has been disabled with a prompt to upgrade to "Dropbox Professional". Have certain features been removed from the Dropbox Family plan ? Given that I'm on a "Grandfathered" plan (not sure that's the right word), I have not been notified that any features had been removed. I paid annually and assumed features would remain the same. Dropbox doesn't publicly list the Dropbox Family plan anymore, even though it's listed publicly. Thanks in advance.
How can I bring the Family Room folder back to my desktop app?
Hi, I have deleted my shared family room folder off my desktop folders. It is still there when i log on to dropbox.com and my other family members can still see it. I am the one who set it up so i will hold admin settings. I have deleted the desktop app and re-installed but still only shows my personal files and not the family room file. How can i get this back? tia
Family Room - cannot customize sharing settings
Hi, I have a family plan and I'm the admin. That plan makes available to every member a shared folder "Archivio Famiglia" that stands for "Family Room" I guess. My need is to setup customized credentials to my family members, for instance, I want to give view or edit access to specific folder only. Looking at the documentation Dropbox states that it's possible to set credentials in every sub-folder.. but I don't see (from web UI) any option in menu.Can I password protect folders while on a Family plan?
I have created a link for viewing and other than "who has access" all other toggles are greyed out. I have the Family plan https://www.dropbox.com/family and unfortunately, I cannot find anything that specifically tells me whether this option is allowed or not. I thought there was an option for securing files. When I go here: https://help.dropbox.com/share/set-link-permissions I can see plans like "Standard" have this option, but then when I go to compare plans https://www.dropbox.com/plans neither the "standard" nor "family plan" is listed for me to even see what options are included in these plans. Can someone please tell me how I find out exactly what is included in what plan?
I shared files with edit rights, but the recipients can't edit them.
Hello! I have shared files with 2 members and gave them editing access. They can open dropbox on their end and see the file but cannot edit. One user was able to open a file in another window and make edits but they did not appear in the shared file. We have a family plan if that matters. Help!Dropbox document sharing link too long
I’ve having issues with the Dropbox links to documents as they are too long. I’ve copied the link which is view only but the website I’m adding the link too (pimcore as an admin) won’t accept it as it’s way too at over 100 characters! Please can anyone suggest how the link can be shortened? Thank you
