If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

      Hello SoerenAN 

       

      I you are looking for someone to help with this, I could help. The Dropbox Community Guidelines prohibit sharing e-mails on the forum, so I cannot share my e-mail address here. If you would like to get in touch, please add ".com" to my username in a browser.
