Hi, My sharing has been suspended but I'm not clear why? Read the help center article but I'm still no wiser on what action I need to take to get it back... Any advice would be gratefully received! This is the message I receive: We’ve interrupted your sharing activity. For details or to contact support, read our help center article... Thanks48Views0likes9CommentsWe've interrupted your sharing activity...
This just started happening yesterday when I was taking screenshots for an article. My screen capture utility is set up to save to my Dropbox. I read the help center article but it doesn't tell me how to solve this problem. I have Dropbox Basic, so I can't contact support. "Help me, Dropbox Staff, you're my only hope!"44Views0likes4CommentsPaused sharing activity due to the daily limit for data sharing. What can I do?
I have tried to download a large file shared with me from a client a number of times and every time it is about to finish the folder gets corrupted and I get a suspension from Dropbox? Why is this happening? I am not the owner of the files I am trying to download, and I am pretty sure the owner of the files pays for the service, so why is this happening?211Views0likes24CommentsHow to move (link to) data shared with me without upsetting the owner?
I have a number of teams that share info (song lyrics) through a song lyric package that expects a contiguous folder structure - eg Root Song folder on dropbox --- My material subfolder ---Band 1 material subfolder --- Band 2 material subfolder Band 1 and Band 2 have shared their dropbox folders with me but for the app to work I need to move(create shortcut to) the folders so they look as though they are located in my Root Song Folder The problem is a permissions one. I can manage (read/write) my own material and that of Band 1 but I only have read only access to Band 2. I do need to be up to date with all the material so having a copy of either Band is not good enough. It must be a synchronised up to date copy. Eg If Band 2 material is shared with me read only - I cannot move it into the root song folder. If it is shared with me read/write I can move it - BUT that also moves it in Band 2 source folder and they get very upset if I do that. We used to use Google drive for this - used to work OK. The latest updates to Google drive APIs have now made it impossible for the app to directly sync the neatly structured Root song folder. It seems that Dropbox doesnt quite have the concept of a pointer/link/shortcut. I have been told that some users have got a workaround for this but I have yet to find out what that is. ( I know about using a third party such as cloudhq to link current google data with dropbox - it will work but is very messy to setup. I need a more direct Dropbox solution. Can anyone help?Solved34Views0likes5CommentsWith a Dropbox shared link, is there a way to change the content without changing the URL link?
Suppose I create a 'read only' shared link for a file. Anyone who has the URL link can access the contents of the file but cannot modify the contents of the file. Now suppose I give the URL link to 500 people. I want those people to be able to read not only the current content of the link but also all future content of that link. The content will change 3 times a week and must not change the URL link. It would be total chaos if these 500 people had to receive a new link 3 times each week in order to view the new contents of the file. to red27Views0likes1CommentIf I share a link with a client, will they be able to sync the folder to their device?
Hi, Interesting. We have a Dropbox Standard package for our company. I'd like to share a project folder and its content with a client and that he can synchronize on his computer (in Windows). Is this possible with a shared link? Regards,Solved32Views0likes4CommentsVideos shared through Dropbox play on MacBook but do not play when connected to external display
Got a a shared video through dropbox. When I play it it works but as soon as I plug into to an external display (Samsung TV via hdmi) is does not work. On the browser (Chrome and Safari incognito, private window) I get an error, "your file may be corrupted or your browser does not support the file". I even downloaded the video and it plays on quicktime but as soon as I connect to the external display it stops working. What issue am I experiencing?

I get this and can't share any new links and all old shares no longer work. If there has been a copyright "complaint", shoulding Dropbox be able to tell me what the file complained about was? Anyway, here is what I've done: How to remove links: Log in and on left margin click Shares Click folders and unshare them (done, almost all) Click Links and unshare them, just click and thenchoose unshare link. I've done this with anything remotely copyrighted including 2 works of mine I have occasionally shared. How long do I have to wait until I'm "unbanned"? Is there a way I can unshare everything in a batch? Anything to get out of purgatory.Solved49Views0likes4Comments
