1597 TopicsI made a folder online-only, but if I delete it from my computer, it gets removed from Dropbox.
I have reviewed the discussion questions and didn't see what is needed. My laptop storage is almost depleted. I have marked a folder (using File Explorer) as Online Only. When I tried to delete the folder from my laptop using file explorer, I received a message saying it would also be deleted from my Dropbox Account. How can I make sure the folder does not delete from the online Dropbox system. Thanks Lloyd15Views0likes2CommentsRemove External User(s) Delete Ability
PLEASE allow us to restrict the ability of external users to delete files and folders in a shared folder. I just ran into an issue where a user, that had edit permission, deleted all of the files and folders in a shared folder. Allow us to restrict the ability to delete by users. Or change the view permission to upload files and folders. This seems so easy to do, yet it doesn't happen. If I'm missing a setting, please enlighten me. Thank you.27Views0likes3CommentsIs it possible Dropbox deleted my photos due to inactivity/being over-quota?
Hello, Has dropbox at anytime removed/deleted photos due to low storage or not accessing dropbox w/in a certain time frame? I have dropbox accounts under two separate email addresses. One has photos and the other does not. I created them so that I could put photos on them so Im a bit confused why Id have an account and no photos and I seem to think the 2nd account had photos. Is there anywhere I can check as to the history? What could have happened to my photos? I did look through some articles and didnt really understand them...other than asking if the photos stored on DropBox are somehow connected to our PC's? There was something mentioned about syncing them. I only recall adding photos to drop box as a storage device. idk honestly. Thanks for any information you can provide.31Views0likes6CommentsMy account was closed, but I already paid for my subscription. What is happening?

Hey all, I recently deleted a backup of an old external drive from the Windows client. This should have freed up storage in my account - however, it is still using the same 608MB, even after waiting for two days. There are no files in the "Deleted files" section either. What do I have to do to free up that storage?28Views0likes2CommentsI deleted a photo from my phone and it got deleted from Dropbox
I deleted a photo from my phone while I was out. When I got home there was a dropbox notification that the photo had been deleted from Camera Uploads. Earlier support says this shouldn't happen. How do I disable this feature?18Views0likes1CommentAnd old 2017 was overwritten, and now I can't restore to an older version of it.
I have an old file, which was created in 2017. This file has been in my dropbox since then and was not changed until today. Today, by accident, I've overwritten that version with some unintended changes to the file. I immediately tried to recover the old version of the file, but the 2017 version is not available. I have a Free Plan. From my understanding, Dropbox has always been able to restore files to the previous version, regardless of when it was last saved (in this case, in 2017), as long as the current change was made within the last 30 days. If a change was made more than 30 days ago, then, the old version would be lost. Since the only change was made today, why can't I recover this file any more? Has something changed in the way Dropbox works? Thank you for your help!37Views0likes3Comments
