Spring Clean your Desktop with Dropbox 🌸
🌸 Spring isn’t just for cleaning your home, it’s the perfect excuse to give your digital space a fresh start too 💻✨. If your desktop looks like a chaotic mess of random files and folders 📂, it may be slowing you down (and let’s be honest, stressing you out 😵💫). But don’t worry, with Dropbox, tidying up your digital messiness is easier than ever. Here’s how to get organised and bring some Springtime zen 🧘♂️🌿 to your workspace. Move Files to the Cloud – Transfer important documents photos and work files to Dropbox. This keeps them safe and accessible from any device while clearing up space on your desktop 💻 . Create Folders and Subfolders – Organise your files by category project or date. A clear folder structure makes it easier to locate what you need without searching through endless icons 📂. Use Selective Sync – With Dropbox Selective Sync you can access files from your desktop without taking up space on your hard drive. Mark files as online-only to free up even more room. Check out Amy’s article on Dropbox Selective Sync here. Delete or Move Old Files – If you no longer need certain files consider deleting or moving them to online only within Dropbox. Keeping only what you use regularly helps maintain a clean and efficient workspace 📤. Set Up Automated Backups – Use Dropbox Backup to ensure your desktop files are always protected. In case of accidental deletion or device failure you can easily restore your data ✨. A tidy desktop means less digital clutter and more focus on what really matters. Say goodbye to the endless hunt for lost files and hello to a smoother workflow. Plus, who doesn’t love a fresh start? 🤗 🌟 We want to hear from you! What’s your secret to a clutter-free digital life?

Our admin invited my company email to our shared folders but it says I need to upgrade
Good morning, I have my company dropbox email but was not previously connected to our shared folders. Our Admin person sent a link to the shared folders. When I select it, it wants me to register. When I try to register is says the account (email) already exist. I also get a request to upgrade my account. This should not be the case as our company has and manages our Dropbox accounts. I am not going to pay for a license if it is supposed to be included in our company bundle. How do I get this resolved? Thanks
What is happening to the Dropbox Send & Track feature?
I bought DropBox ONLY because it had the Send and Track feature. Am I correct in understanding, that: That it no longer functions and I should another service, open a separate account (both DropBox AND Send and track subscription) or what should I do? That I cannot find my old reports? Because no matter where I look, I cannot find anything on videos that I previously had connected to Send and Track. I am puzzled.
Dropbox 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?
Open 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?I've added a PDF file to my shared Dropbox Paper doc, but the recipients can't see its preview.
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.
