867 TopicsExtensionless files can’t be previewed
Yesterday, I decided to rename some of my videos on here to help me better identify them. After doing so now my files say: "Extensionless files can’t be previewed" . I tried to restore them to the previous version but still nothing. It will let me view the previous version but I cannot get a link to it to show others and when I try and download it (in hopes that I can upload it on here again) I get this error: Error (403) It seems you don't belong here! You should probably sign in. Check out our Help Center and forums for help, or head back to home. I am indeed signed in and it is my video and my account. I would really love to fix this issue because these videos (which are from my security cameras) are actually quite important. I needed to show them to a lawyer etc. I also tried to search my computer and see if it is in the dropbox cache, but that is empty. Unfortunately when I had transferred these files to another hard drive something happened and some of the files did not transfer. So, I don't have that option to go back and get them that way. Again, all I did yesterday was rename the files. I also tried restoring the previous versions with no luck. Any clue as to what happened and how I can fix this?Solved23KViews0likes14CommentsErr_connection_refused error on multiple web browsers

I seriously need advanced searching. Dropbox used to have these features (like search exact phrase) in 2015, but somehow removed them. So how can I do advanced searching in dropbox?

Hi, all! I have some old flash drives that I just backed up on my MACBOOK. They appear in DropBox Backups. I can’t figure out how to view the backups in my mobile app. I can see the file names in my mobile app. But, when I click on them, it simply takes me to the general list (camera uploads, documents, etc.) TIA!Solved11KViews0likes12CommentsTranscript gives no option to download or export.

I am trying to obtain a retirement interview video file that the sender can open with their link and drop box account, but the file cannot be opened by me at my end. I do not know if it is a firewall issue, but I can't open the link on my end? I get a response saying it is a "local file" and it cannot be opened.
