Shared Links

A few years have passed since this request and as a business this would save us allot of time and irritation. As a company we share daily hundreds of links to files via Microsoft Teams with each other. Now the situation is as follow: 1 link is shared 2 team member clicks on the link 3 browser opens the link to the file 4 user clicks on 'open in dropbox' button Ideal situation would be that admins and users have a File open preference, where links to files can directly open in the native apps: 1 link is shared 2 team member clicks on it and the file is synced and opened in the native app Microsoft Teams has a great solution to this problem for Office-applications, called File open preference, see screenshot. It would be great if Dropbox could also build this feature in it's Dropbox-apps.8.2KViews18likes6CommentsCannot create links to share files. "We’ve suspended your sharing activity" error.
Dear Dropbox Support Team, It's been a while since I actively used dropbox, apart via a service to back it up and sync it. Today, I logged in via web to share some pictures, and I got this message: Can’t share file Error in call to API function /2/sharing/create_shared_link_with_settings: We’ve suspended your sharing activity because of a violation of Dropbox’s Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy, and Terms of Service or Services Agreement. About a year ago (maybe more) I did indeed detect a virus in a file hosted in my dropbox, and I deleted it at the time. I guess the same virus was detected by dropbox systems and there's a ban in my account since then. I’d appreciate it if you could review my account and lift the sharing ban. Best Regards,Solved26Views0likes4CommentsLink/Downloads temporarily disabled
This is the second time in a week I've been locked out of sharing content to my clients and I'm wondering why. Any help would be greatly appreciated as my clients would like to access their files. Getting this message when trying to open a link on a separate browser. Link temporarily disabled This can happen when the link has been shared or downloaded too many times in a day. And this message when I try to share the link: Couldn’t complete share We’ve interrupted your sharing activity. For details or to contact support.Solved20Views0likes3Comments"We've interrupted your sharing activity" error when trying to share a link
NO reason given. None of the possible causes in the "Help" article, like spam, copyright, bandwidth etc, apply. So I'm totally clueless as to why I'm getting this message: I have NO idea where to look to try and fix this. I get the message every time I take a screenshot; first the "link to your screenshot was copied to your clipboard" message and then the one above that says it couldn't copy the link. But I can insert the link so go figure. ANYBODY know how to fix this? Thanks so much!37Views0likes6CommentsSuspended sharing activity because of a violation of Dropbox’s Terms of Service
Hello, I've been having trouble sharing a file or folder for days I always get the message: Can’t share file We’ve suspended your sharing activity because of a violation of Dropbox’s Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy, and Terms of Service or Services Agreement. I am not aware of any rule violations, no option from the linkhttps://help.dropbox.com/share/banned-linksapplies to me. The Chatbot can't help, waiting 24 hours doesn't help either. i use this all day every day for work.2KViews0likes18CommentsCorrupted MP4 files when downloading via Dropbox links on MacOS.
Hello, I’ve been facing a persistent and frustrating issue when downloading single files via Dropbox links. Here’s the problem: Whenever I download a single file, it always ends up corrupted. I can’t open the file with QuickTime or VLC, and I can’t even import it into Premiere Pro for editing. The file downloads completely without any errors, but once downloaded, it’s unusable. As a workaround, I’ve found that downloading the entire folder as a .ZIP file prevents corruption. However, this is not practical for me—I often only need to download a single file from the folder, and I want it to work without issues. Sent images below of the problems. Some additional details: I use Dropbox exclusively through a web browser (not the app). I don’t have any paid subscription. I primarily use Dropbox because my clients share videos with me through this platform. Aside from the corruption issue, I’ve also noticed that Dropbox download speeds are incredibly slow for me, which makes the situation even more frustrating. And NO, i dont want to use the Dropbox APP. But if its the only way yo get it to fix, i can try it. I really need to understand why these single-file downloads are always corrupted and find a solution to this problem. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.78Views0likes6CommentsHow can I share a link with multiple people only to upload documents?
How can I share a link with multiple people only to upload documents. Not view anything that has been uploaded? Example: I have a client intake form that gets sent to all clients. Can I add a link at the end of the form for each person to upload their documents and not see what others have uploaded?28Views0likes1Commentold shared link gives "That didn't work for some reason" error
I'm trying to access some files using public sharing links i've created long time ago. All these links gives the same error message with the sad dog picture "That didn't work for some reason". I've cleared my cache, I've tried other computers, other web browsers : SAME ERROR. There is an existing thread in the forum for this, but "replies have been turned off for this discussion". The solutions proposed by dropbox staff are all similar and useless. It seems that dropbox made a change to their code that made all this old links not valid. if this is true : WHAT A SHAME FOR A FILE SHARING AND BACKUP SERVICE. if this is wrong, could you please give me a working solution without having to regenerate all the links ? hoping i'm wrong, thank you in advance, and happy new year16Views0likes1Comment
