My account was over the basic storage space so I downloaded all my files to an external drive. I see that all folders and files names have been transferred but literally NOT one file opens because they contain "zero bytes". I was on 2TB trial and more than willing to pay to recover! PLEASE HELP!!!34Views0likes3CommentsMy account deleted after 10 years with no warning
Hello— I have used my account since I’m 13 years old , I am currently 28! I log into the app often to reminisce on pictures and files etc. I was randomly logged out and when I went to log in told me my account didn’t exist. I had to sign up all over again and my account is gone . I tried the recovery steps and nothing. I need my pictures back ??? pls help74Views0likes5CommentsA bunch of my files went to Zero Bytes on Mac
This issue was posted here like five years ago by a different user and the fix worked for them but I've encountered the issue now and the fix isn't working. Basically, I've got a new Mac, synced all my files from my old Mac but they're mostly showing up as Zero Bytes and they're not openable. I tried going to my preferences->Account->holding down the alt/option key and clicking "Fix Permissions". It prompts me for my computer password, I enter it, it seems to work but doesn't. So I do it again, then I receive the error message in Dropbox: "Dropbox was unable to fix permissions in your Dropbox. Please contact support if the problem persists." I'm on the basic plan, so I don't have access to proper support (bad show, guys) so I'm hoping someone can help.113Views0likes6CommentsCannot find files I thought I'd been saving to Dropbox on my old computer which won't let me in.
Cannot find files I thought I'd been saving to Dropbox on my old computer which won't let me in. Had to buy a new computer; on it now but when I login to Dropbox, I don't find my files. I was using OneDrive before, on my old computer. Is that the problem, or likely something else? I also understand that there are two versions, the web and the app? I tried the web, and nothing is there. Help! I need my word processing files back! Those are long novels, one in progress!70Views0likes16CommentsI'm trying to delete files, but I get an error that it's currently not possible.
How to delete one or more files, which are still stored. I already deleted the folder, but maybe without the value. Now, after trying to delete those files, I’ve got an error message several times, that it is currently not possible.Solved31Views0likes3CommentsI logged in to my Dropbox account today, but my photos have disappeared.
I've had a free Dropbox account for years. I continually get reminders that my storage space is maxed out and I need to upgrade. I've checked my photos to ensure they are still around. Today, I logged in and everything is gone. If I need to upgrade to access things, I will, but I need to know that my photos still exist. Thoughts?26Views0likes2CommentsMy account was overquota and I made file changes since. Can I find those on the site?
I exceeded the storage but continued to update Dropbox files on my laptop. My laptop quit working and when I log into Dropbox.com, the updated files aren’t there. Is there any way to access them?Solved22Views0likes1CommentRecovering deleted folder not possible + Support not reachable
Hello dear community, A week ago I created a folder that was also listed in my Dropbox Deleted page. When I restored it, I could only see some subfolders (not all), but no files. When I then tried to contact support, the contact option was greyed out. Why is that? Thanks for your help and sorry if this topic has been covered extensively elsewhere.49Views0likes4CommentsHow do I access my missing photos?
I have the 'Basic Plan' of 2.0GB. I have been informed by Dropbox that I have used 2.09GB of my 2.0GB storage, which is impossible......! Because of this, the photos from my phone have stopped syncing to Dropbox. That I can understand. However, they advise to free up space by deleting files, but 99% of my photos appear to be missing from Dropbox. I was thinking of upgrading, but I won't if they have lost my photos. Any ideas how I can get them back? Thanks.20Views0likes1CommentFiles reverted to a version that's 6 months old.
Hi, I experienced the oddest situation. Thursday 11.7.24 I opened and worked on 3 excel files which I work on EVERY month. Saved them all of course when finished. Today 2 days later 11.9.24 I go to pull one up and whaaaat? All 3 files have May 2014 dates and data that only goes through April. These files have been saved every month. I know they have as I pulled them up 2 days ago and just added data. Files had data through Sept-24. I checked version history, no help. I checked activity, that does not even show them as being opened. Another file I opened for the financial statements in a different directory did save properly. This has really spooked me and I've lost all faith in DB. Help please! thank you, RussSolved128Views0likes3Comments
