Secure and hidden files
It would be a great idea to implement an extra layer of protection to be able to hide certain files or be able to lock them with a set password within the app since I experience multiple users on multiple machines of mine being able to access most of the files. Therefor I would really benefit from a folder I can lock with my personal password and therefor hide sensitive information or files that should not be accessed by other users but me. I would suggest calling it something like Vault or Hidden Files. This could also be done via integration through the apps, let people decide if they want to install the vault feature or not.
My Dropbox profile picture changed to my Google account's, after adding files from Google Drive.
I was logged into my Dropbox account misc...@gmail.com and used that "Upload from Drive" thing to grab some files from my other Google Drive account ish...@gmail.com. But then, out of nowhere, my Dropbox profile pic changed to the profile pic of that ish....gmail.com Google account! That's kinda strange, right? Especially since those are totally different email addresses. It feels kinda wrong that just grabbing files from a Google Drive would mess with my Dropbox profile pic. Imagine if I was pulling stuff from a friend's Drive – I definitely wouldn't want their picture on my Dropbox! \ Just wanted to flag this as something that seems a bit off and maybe not how it's supposed to work.
We're getting phishing emails from Dropbox.
Hello, I would like to bring to your attention that our clients are frequently receiving Dropbox emails that appear to be from "our employees." The domain is legitimate, as it is no-reply@dropbox.com; however, these Dropbox links contain malicious files. It seems that scammers are utilizing your platform to generate phishing emails that are sent directly from Dropbox, impersonating users within our company. We believe there should be enhanced policies implemented by Dropbox to address and prevent this issue.How do you add a password to files and/or folders to keep it secured?
So, Dropbox got rid of the vault feature last month. The question now becomes, how do you add a password to files and/or folders to keep it secured? At a minimum, Windows lets you password protect a file, so if Dropbox can't even do that now what's the point of it? Additionally, I am logged out of Dropbox on my computer, but can still access my Dropbox drive from My Computer. With the vault gone, how do I make sure that these files are only accessible either on Dropbox website or only if I'm logged in?
I need help signing in to my account
I have a personal Dropbox account, I am ok with it. However, I have become secretary of a non-profit organization, and I need to get access to the Board of Directors Dropbox account. When I try to sign in to DB, it signs me into my personal account, and won't let me sign in to the Group Dropbox. How can I signin to the group account? thanks [Removed as per Community Guidelines]
Can you change the data locations for Basic accounts?
Hello, Given the increasing focus and concern on data transfers and data storage locations it makes sense the Dropbox should extend the option to choose the storage location on all accounts not just the ones that are paid for. I appreciate that this feature is a way to differentiate accounts between free to paid (and a way to make money) but the rights of the data subject are still crucial. I know Dropbox have all the relevant documentation and standards however that is not the same as having your data in your own country/region.I need help recovering files deleted more than a year and a half ago
