Need to know how many subfolders and files are nested inside any given folder, server-side
Good day we are evaluating migrating two companies from Sharepoint to Dropbox. We need a way to know how many subfolders and files are contained, server-side, under any given top-level folder. This is an extremely simple information, and it is of fundamental importance in order to check complete sync after a large file upload, download or move. Of course such information must be available rapidly, without browsing each single subfolders (there are dozens thousands) and without limiting to check desktop-side (which is entirely useless, given that we want to survey the status of data moves SERVER-SIDE). So, for instance, suppose we have: - top-level folder "A" - inside "A": 3 files and the 2 subfolders "B" and "C" - inside "B": 7 files and 1 subfolder "D" - inside "C": 5 files and 1 subfolder "E" - inside "D": 12 files and no subfolder - inside "E": 8 files and 1 subfolder "F" - inside "F": no files and no subfolders.... ... I need a way to know that inside "A" there are: - 35 files - 5 subfolders In Sharepoint it is ridiculously complex to achieve such a basic information, but at least I can use PowerShell and some additional module. $FilesCount = (Get-PnPFolderItem -FolderSiteRelativeUrl "Top-Level-Folder-Name" -Recursive -ItemType File).Count $SubFoldersCount = (Get-PnPFolderItem -FolderSiteRelativeUrl "Top-Level-Folder-Name" -Recursive -ItemType Folder).Count Write-Host "Number of files: $FilesCount" && "Number of subfolders: $SubFoldersCount" HOW exactly can I have such information with Dropbox? Many thanks Enrico Penco
I can't find my settings in order to send a referral to a friend
I have the basic plan, so can't run this issue by support. I want to refer a friend for more storage space. I'm pretty sure I do not have a "team" account, which I understand makes one ineligible to refer a friend and get additional storage. When I go to my avatar, there are no "settings" in the menu and thus no option to "refer a friend." Rather, I get "preferences" in leiu of "settings" and no ability to refer a friend. I think I've clicked everywhere to see if there is a work-around, but I can't find anything, and again can't ask dropbox support. Ideas? Thanks.
Data Loss After PC Factory Reset
Hello - Recently, I reset my computer to factory settings due to a suspicion of hacking. As a result, I had to format my drives, including one that was linked to Dropbox. Before the reset, I checked and believed that the files on this drive had been backed up to Dropbox. However, upon looking today, it appears I have lost a significant amount of critical content; only one file remains in the folder. I am reaching out to see if there is any possibility for Dropbox to recover these files. I would greatly appreciate any assistance or guidance, as these files are of significant importance to me.
