Can’t share file. "We’ve interrupted your sharing activity" error.
For some reason can't share my files anymore — getting error: "Error in call to API function /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings: We’ve interrupted your sharing activity because your files might contain phishing content." How can I contact Dropbox support?Saving image to Dropbox in iOS saves as URL
On iOS, when I save an image from Safari to the Dropbox app, before saving, the file name shows as a url file (and saves as a URL). I suspect today’s update causes this, because I was able to do this last night. I long press on an image > share > save to Dropbox At this step, the expanded menu recognizes the file type is an image, vs me mistaking it for an image, where it could be another file type. I’ve closed Safari, Dropbox and turned my phone off and on, issue persists.
Message that my public links have been temporarily suspended for generating excessive traffic.
I do have a free account and a client send me a link that I can upload and it shows this error for some reason. I checked my email and I had this email: Hi Anna, This email is an automated notification from Dropbox letting you know that your Public links have been temporarily suspended for generating excessive traffic. I click on it and its says I am banned. I made the free trial for 1 month to see if anything changes and I still cannot use it.Understanding A, B, C, and D Drives: What They Mean and How They’re Used
Hey there, it's Theresa here 👋. You might see me around the Community, popping into different threads and joining conversations and I often notice users looking for the best ways to manage their storage effectively 🚀. By default, Dropbox saves files on your computer’s internal drive, typically the C: drive 👨💻. But sometimes, you need a little extra space, and the D: drive can be a great alternative. It helps free up valuable room on your primary drive while still giving you seamless access to your important files. If you want to learn more about setting up Dropbox on an external drive, check out this guide. But what about those other drives? The ones labeled A: and B:? Why don’t modern computers use them? And what exactly does the C: drive do? Let’s take a nostalgic and practical dive into the world of drive letters and what they mean in computing 💻. A: and B: Drives Ah, the A: and B: drives - ancient relics of computing! Back in the day, these drives were the VIP section for floppy disks, the original storage superheroes of the 80s and 90s. For those lucky enough to have never experienced floppy disks, let me explain: they were small, portable, and could hold a whopping 1.44 MB to 2.88 MB of data. That’s right, an entire three documents …if you were lucky 💾. Modern computers no longer come with A: or B: drives, as the floppy disk has been banished to the land of obsolete tech alongside VHS tapes and Blockbuster memberships 📼. However, those letters are still reserved for these iconic disks, almost like a tribute to the O.G’s of storage - here, computers have to pay their respects to the ancestors too. C: Drive The C: drive is the most important and commonly used drive in a computer system. It is typically the main hard drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD) that contains the operating system (like Windows), applications, and most of your files 💻. In modern Windows systems, the C: drive is like your default "everything" space. It’s where the system stores its most prized possessions, from system files to personal documents to that folder full of memes you forgot about. Installing Dropbox on your C: drive is a great way to store your cloud files locally on your computer while keeping them synced across all your devices. So, think of the C: drive as the top drawer of your desk: it holds all the stuff you need every day, the stuff you’ll probably need soon, and the stuff you just threw in there to deal with later. Keep it clean…or don’t - but either way, the C: drive is where it all goes down 👩💻. D: Drive The D: drive is the unsung hero stepping in when you need a little extra space. It’s like the spare room in your house, or that second closet where you shove everything when company’s coming over 🙊. The D: drive is typically assigned to secondary storage devices. This could be a second hard drive, an optical drive (AKA CD/DVD drives ..remember those?), or even a partition on the same physical hard drive as the C: drive. And let’s not forget its role as the go-to for removable storage like USB flash drives or external hard drives. (Hint: Set up Dropbox on you D: Drive for those "I’ll definitely organise this later" files) 👨💻. So, whether you're optimizing storage, decluttering your digital space, or just taking a trip down memory lane, it’s always good to know what’s going on behind the scenes 😉. And hey, if you ever need help managing your files, you know where to find me 👩💻. I’ll be around the Community, diving into conversations and helping out wherever I can. Got any storage tricks, you or even fun computer nostalgia to share 💾💿📼? Drop them in the comments.. I’d love to hear them!
images/GIFs in Dropbox are rendered in html and markdown?
Hi, I'm working in Obsidian a lot these days. It's a nerdy markdown editor app. I need a remote repository for images and gifs. Shared images and gifs that anyone should be able to see with the link do not render in markdown or HTML that I can figure. Am I missing something? I'm already a Dropbox customer and have been since like 2009 so I would appreciate it if I can use Dropbox for this. This is usually due to insane strict security protocols but honestly these are just charts and graphs and little demos. If I could set the security on this folder and these files to zero I would.
Shared folder access with Token
Hi! I seem to have a simple access problem with my Token. I am part of a team which has a shared folder which I am trying to access with the API, and while I have it working for files in my own directory: "MY NAME/Folders/Files" the Token doesn't seem to have access to the: "DATA/Folders/Folders/etc" where DATA is shared with me (both through team membership and explicitly) Eventually I'm simply trying to do a recursive files_list_folders() to analyze the storage. In the app console I have both "files.metadata.read" and "sharing.read" turned on, which should be the relevant permissions (and I did re-generate the Token after changing the permissions). Is there something I am missing? Thanks, Martin
