3035 TopicsDropbox public links have been suspended for generating excessive traffic. Now what?
I have tried to download a large file shared with me from a client a number of times and every time it is about to finish the folder gets corrupted and I get a suspension from Dropbox? Why is this happening? I am not the owner of the files I am trying to download, and I am pretty sure the owner of the files pays for the service, so why is this happening?90Views0likes12CommentsShared link to folder from Quickbase channel takes me to empty folder
I am using the Quickbase Dropbox channel to create a folder and upload files to that folder. I then get the Share URL using the Quickbase Dropbox channel and save it in a Quickbase table. I can see the folder and its files when I log into my Dropbox account. But when I use the Share URL in my browser, I get a screen showing the folder name but that it is empty. I need to see the files also.Solved34Views0likes2CommentsOpen dropbox file/folder links open on desktop
Hi there. Love Dropbox. I moved our whole team to it from Google Drive much to all of our delight. The one hiccup that keeps coming up (was also an issue with Drive, but would be a game changing new feature from DB) is sharing links. Our team uses the desktop app to work with files directly in finder, but we share links to files and folders on slack and in email, etc... Right now we click a link, it opens the browser as expected, we find the file path in browser and then follow that path in finder. That seems like an awful lot of work when we have a direct connection between our finder and dropbox in the app. Perhaps the website could provide a link that connects to the desktop app, opening the folder/file in finder or windows explorer. Seems like a reasonable option to me, but what do others think?22Views0likes1CommentWhy canât I invite someone to my shared folders?

Im having issues with paper document that we've uploaded a pdf - sent to clients and they are unable to view the image of the pdf on mobile or desktop? I've just been adding the pdf using the dropbox 'add' little image, searching for the pdf in a certain folder within our dropbox folders and then clicking upload. Changing the setting to view only as I don't need them to edit it only view it. Also it's a live working document that we make changes to so it must be a pdf doc. can't be a jpg. We can see it on our end in paper? Please can you help resolve this issue.40Views0likes4CommentsCan I no longer share files because I exceeded my daily bandwidth limit?
I shared a installation file in my public folder to transfer a 1GB file to my sister. The file was deleted after the transfer was completed. But now no one can access my shared links. I can still see in in my web browser but not in incognito mode. Did I violate a rule for sharing installation files? I know about the bandwidth cap and I am pretty sure I am way under the cap. Is there a way to see if I am banned or not? Thanks for the help.Solved61Views0likes3CommentsHow to disable clipboard content overwrite when taking screenshots?
I just found out that when taking a screenshot with Dropbox on Windows 10, Dropbox puts a share url into your clipboard. I would like to disable that feature. All I could find was a seven year old discussion of the problem for MacOS and the options mentioned there aren't available to me.Solved55Views0likes4CommentsDropbox iOS problem: Unable to share more than 3 files at once.
After my Dropbox app was automatically updated recently (version 414.3), I can no longer send more than four files at once through another app. When I select four or fewer files, it works fine, but selecting more than four prevents me from tapping the send button. My friends who also use iPhones are experiencing the same issue, but Android devices donât seem to have this problem. (I'm using an iPhone 16 Pro.)

I recently created my Dropbox account. I clicked 'Business', because I am using the account through work, but I didn't realise this meant I was getting a free trial that would expire?!? I needed this account to create a link that could be shared to hundreds of people. I have already sent the link, but I need it to be active for at least 42 days. The problem is my free trial expires in around 14 days. What will happen to my link when the free trial expires? Will it still work for those recipients? What will become of my account? Will it just convert to a 'regular' account?38Views0likes3Comments
