Manage Dropbox access for sub-folders
Hello Dropbox community, I have a shared team folder that has multiple subfolders, and I want to gave permission on the subfolders just to certain people from the team, not all the team to see all the subfolders, but when I want to remove someone access for a subfolder it pops up a message to remove the access from the parent folder too. Can you help me?
Dropbox folder missing from indexed locations for searching on Windows 10
Device HP Desktop Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Windows 10 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 238.4.6075 Syncing Status Up To Date Question or Issue I've not been able to find documents using search in my dropbox folder for a few weeks. I went to indexing options to remove dropbox from indexing and re-add it hoping it would rebuild the index. IT'S NOT THERE TO SELECT AT ALL!! I have my dropbox as a fold in Documents. When I go to C Users Myname Documents, dropbox is not there. I've right clicked the folder and in properties, went to advanced, UNCHECKED allow this folder to have contents indexed and applied that. Then I went back and checked it so they could be indexed and applied that. Dropbox is still not in the indexing options list of folders.
"Disable downloads" feature not working on the desktop app
Hi, I have the essentials plan but I do not have the feature to disable downloads. I have the "allow downloads on dropbox.com" toggled off(see picture) but that doesn't work because someone can still download it. Can someone point to me where is this "disable download" feature that I see online? Does it even exist within my current plan? Any help would be greatly appreciated.How can I remove permissions for a single user from a specific folder?
Dropbox Plan Business Are you a Team Member or Admin? Admin (but just a business owner...not very tech savvy) Do you have access to the email linked to the account? yes Are there any devices connected to your Dropbox account? All employee laptops are connected to the account and they all have the relevant shared folder stored locally as well as in the cloud. Question or Issue I am an admin on a business account. We have a common folder where all of our client files are stored. I hired a new employee that has a conflict with one of our client matters, and we need to wall them off from that one single file among hundreds, while maintaining access to every other file within that folder. The folders permissions use the group that includes all employees, and this person is a member of that group. What is the easiest way to wall them off from this one sub-folder while maintaining access to the other hundreds of files in this shared folder?
I've accidentally joined a Dropbox team, thinking it was a client sharing a file
Ive been using Dropbox to run my subscription business for 7+ years. Yesterday, I inadvertently clicked on a link thinking it was a shared folder with a client. I have now joined their team, and my acvpunt has merged with theirs. They have ALL my business/tax information and client files. Ive tried to contact them to no avail, I don't think they'd used Dropbox before, and don't really know what they're doing. My account has hundreds of subscriber folders, all linked to specific URLs, so I cant lose my account. I've been a paying customer for years, however support so far has been non-existent, stating that i must contact this non-contactable "admin" for them to restore... potentially DELETE my entire account. I really need my account separated ASAP, my entire business and livelihood depend on it. I can't believe something so catastrophic comes with no warnings! If anyone can please help, I'll be forever in your debt.
