1028 TopicsCan I get the actual creation date of the file, and not just the upload date?
I am not understanding how I can find out details on when a file was created. For example I have uploaded 714 PDF files today to a Folder PDF_11_10. When I look at the folder ALL the files show a modified date of today. Is there a way to get the actual creation date of each file and NOT just upload date. I have followed the instructions for 'file info' on Metadata but no luck. I would appreciate any solutions. Running on WIN11 with Dropbox PRO. Thanks, VicSolved472Views1like6CommentsHow to back up Dropbox into an external server?
I am looking for an App that will let me backup Dropbox for Business into external server. I found that I can use Synology Drive Client to do back up into my NAS server. But the process is very slow. We do have Back Up through DropBox. But I am looking for additional option to external media. In my case a NAS server.

Last year we had a teams account for a specific project which has now completed. My email was the admin account. After canceling the renewal since the account was no longer needed, my credit card is still listed as a payment method under my free/basic account with no option to remove it. I want my CC info completely removed from the system, but because it is a free account I have no access to dropbox chat/email/support/etc. Any idea how to get it off of there? I am not going to pay for another month of a subscription just so I can get in touch with them to remove my payment info.1.1KViews1like16CommentsCan I backup my WhatsApp chat messages directly to Dropbox?
Hi Is there a way of directly backing up my WhatsApp (messages only) to my Dropbox. I cannot find a way of doing this as my WhatsApp only appears to show Google storage as the only storage available for this particular backup Thanks1.7KViews0likes4CommentsThe Dropbox desktop application will no longer be supported for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 on October 22nd
Congratulations Dropbox! You've just put the nail in the coffin of all W7 users who prefer not to be spied on and constantly used for data scraping! Well done. If the constant scaremonger nagging about running out of space, the constant begging to upgrade, the incessant app updating demands, the constant USB device interrogation upon connection wasn't enough of an incentive to finally ditch Dropbox for good, then the cutting off of users of a still perfectly good and functional, non-spyware infested OS will be the last straw. Thank you Dropbox for giving me the incentive to go to your competitors instead and get out of your ever more bloated crapware ecosystem. Sometimes, people need a little push to get away from what's comfortable and familiar, even though they suspect just how bad that relationship is for them. I thank you Dropbox for giving me this little push. Goodbye.7.3KViews9likes28CommentsIs End to End encryption only on Business plans? Can I have a plan like that for 1 user only?
Hi, the end to end encryption is only available on the business plus. Can I create a business plus account as one member team? Or is there any plan where end to end encryption would be available?Solved351Views1like2CommentsBulk update file versions
Hi, can someone help me to understand if Dropbox is suitable for my use case? 1. I need a way of versioning PDF files without changing the download link. I think this is standard functionality in Dropbox, however I have over 1000 price list PDF files in different languages that are updated frequently, and I'm trying to find a way to avoid manually updating each file version. It would be troublesome to update each file version one by one. Is there a way of bulk uploading new file versions from a CSV or something along those lines with the original download link remaining constant? Please let me know if any of this needs clarifying. Many thanks, Chris475Views1like6CommentsUploading software and music on Dropbox, what to be aware of.
Hey everyone I want to use Dropbox to upload some software I purchased, music and etc. This is of course copyrighted material, but is this a problem? Does Dropbox scan your files for this kind of activity, or can you only get banned when someone reports a DMCA? Kind regards Lucas987Views0likes3Comments
