You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Will deleting a file from my PC folder also delete its backup? How can I save up space on my device?
From what I understand there is the backup folder and the folder that is on the PC and is available in other applications. If I delete a file from the PC, does the backup folder also delete the file? If so, I can't save disk space! I intended to have files that take up a lot of space just in the backup and take them off the disk to save space.
Get rid of popups in the browser letting me know I just deleted content.
When I am using Dropbox in my browser, every time I delete a file or folder I get a little black bar popup notification that tells me I just deleted a file or folder. But I already know that. I have to click Close to get rid of it. I know it goes away, but I never want to see it in the first place. The option to Undo could be handy, but couldn't it be something less annoying than a popup (distracting, and blocks the view of whatever is beneath it)?
10 years of files are gone, after joining a Team.
I have used Dropbox for 10 years with company backups etc. recently someone added my email to their team so I could access their files too - but then they deleted me when the job was over and my entire Dropbox is gone. My account is even gone as when I logged in, it made me re-register. I have all my company accounts, tax files, 10 years of backups etc. I need them back. If I am audited I am totally screwed. When they added me to their team, there was still a folder called ‘Renaes files’ that had all of my personal stuff and the company one was separate. How did they delete my files? Where would they be?After formatting my computer I cannot access my files.
I formatted my computer. Then I re-installed Dropbox. I got a message that I must pay for extra space, which I did, but now I cannot access my files and don't find a way to load them or see them online. They dissapeared also from my phone. I do see the additional space I payed for. Please help, anyone
After a system restore, it seems that I now have two Dropbox folders. Can I delete 1?
After messing about with file restore, I ended up having to run system restore to undo my poking. This has left me with 2 copies of Dropbox 1 renamed to Dropbox (Old), all the files appear to be there in both, so Can I just delete 1? and if so does it matter which. Cheers Bill
Can't restore a deleted folder. Error: "There was a problem completing this request".
So I deleted a folder, but somehow dropbox deleted the one next to it. Now I can only find that deleted folder under: in the browser, its not in the deleted files part of it. Whenever i double click that folder, and try to restore it it says: There was a problem completing this request. I never touched this folder, dropbox bugged out and deleted the wrong one, and now i cant seem to restore it. Not in different browsers, not a teammate, nothing. Why does it also not show up in the deleted files part of dropbox?
Have camera uploads not change the original filenames and delete files when removed from phone.
I'd suggest to develop a better system for saving camera uploads in the cloud. Currently, the system only uploads pictures from your phone as they are, changing the name as an uploaded file. It would be better if it leaves the original names of the files in your devices. Additionally, it would be better to have it working as a security copy, in such a way that if a delete a picture from my device, it is also erased in my security copy or back up in Dropbox. Because currently my Dropbox uploads is getting extremely full with useless pictures from WhatsApp chats. So if I delete them from my phone I also have to delete them from the file in Dropbox, making it double work.
comment enlever l'accès à mon compte à Google?
j'ai un compte dopbox; lorsque j'ai voulu me loguer sur un nouvel ordinateur Dell sous windows, j'ai reçu une invitation à me connecter avec mon mail google. J'ai fait l'erreur d'accepter et en fait je m'aperçois que j'ai créé un nouveau compte . je ne peux accéder à mon ancien compte qu'en passant par le dropboxweb. j'ai supprimé dropbox puis retéléchargé, et losque j'ai voulu me loguer j'ai vu que mon compte basé sur le mail google est réapparu! comment faire pour m'en débarrasser?
