My file request folders don't sync to my Dropbox desktop app from the website.
So I create a new file request, which automatically creates a folder within the File Request folder of Dropbox, But that specific request folder to which designated people can upload to, wont appear on my Windows file explorer. Why? It should sync automatically, but there's no way to make it visible on the PC. Help ON THE WEBSITE I CAN SEE "Informe semanal de Cancelados" a folder from a request. ON THE FILE EXPLORER DROPBOX WONT SYNC THOSE "REQUEST FILE FOLDERS" I want dropbox to automatically sync those dropbox generated "file request folders" and the files that people upload at them. HELP
File Request links are unreliable as they fail when others upload files
I find drop box incredibly unreliable for transferring files. It's almost unusable with the web version. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The main issue I have is i have provided a Dropbox File Request link to a friend. They need to upload files for me each week. They use a web browser on their windows laptop. It almost always fails and they have to take 4 or 5 attempts and loads of wasted time, They have have a basic drop box account so dont seem able to use the drop box windows app. Is there anyway to get this to work or am i better just switching to wetransfer which has always been very reliable. We are both wasting so much time with dropbox each week. Life is too short!Why did the "request files" option get removed from the right-click options in the Dropbox folder?
Can someone provide some sort of explanation why the (Dropbox) 'Request files' function has disappeared from the drop-down menu (Mac). The function is still possible, but now it is buried away and (as far as I can establish) only accessible via a browser. This really makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. If anyone could enlighten me about this "develpoment" I would be very grateful. Thank you
File request option when right-clicking a file on macOS is no longer available
This issue has been reported previously on the following link but is now closed to any further responses. This is an important feature that has been removed without notice or explanation. I have tried to post the hyperlink to the previous discussion, but you are not allowing this either. Please provide an update. Regards Robert
Uploaded files in a File Request not appearing in my account.
Hi. Have just checked my Files, and the one I uploaded yesterday, plus a whole slew of others, is not there. I always get an email confirming when I've uploaded, but never checked the Box before, so it's a bit of a shock that most of my audition tapes are not there! Does this mean they were never actually uploaded after all? Does it make a difference that these were tapes requested OF me and not BY me? Seems odd and worrying. Thanks.
My file request files are named with "inbound" and a number
I have noticed that in my file request folder, there are several files named with a pattern such as inbound 116653248292738278 (as an example). I would appreciate it if you could help clarify the following: What does the "inbound" designation signify in this context? Is there a specific meaning or identifier associated with the sequence of numbers following "inbound"? Understanding this would help me manage the folder more effectively and ensure that all files are processed correctly.Extremely slow uploads using browser
Hey there. I currently use Dropbox for sharing files and upload my files mostly using the desktop app, which uses my full internet connection of 1Gbps, usually easy and no errors. My main issue: Some of my peers also use dropbox and will send me upload requests and vice/versa. These apparently can only be done through a browser, at least I haven't found a way to use the app yet, which takes absolutely ages. I've tried using different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Opera) or different machines (Win11, Mac and a linux distro) and it will not change how fast it goes. Also this connection is frequently dropped and the uploader shows as if all the files are uploaded, but when checking we see that some files are missing, sometimes a lot, sometimes a few. Is there a way to use the desktop app to share files with someone else's dropbox link? If not, is there are way to make the browser upload faster? I use a few other services that require browser uploading (WeTransfer, Vimeo, Youtube, Pixieset, GoogleDrive) and Dropbox is the only one that is slow. I just did a test of uploading 700 raw photos and it took the desktop app a little over 3 minutes while the browser still has over 45 minutes to go. Thanks anyone for the help, I couldn't find anything anywhere about this, hopefully is fixable!
