Re-design Dropbox log-in or sign-up invitation when downloading from shared links
Problem: When document link recipients click the Dropbox download arrow, your large, unattractive "Log-in or sign-up" sales pitch splashes in their face. It can alarm or confuse my clients. And because the third option - "Or continue with download only" - is in small typeface located at the bottom of that box, the link recipient is likely to miss it. My clients have even called to ask if they must sign-up in order to download a linked document, which becomes a second irritation and less efficient process. This is not good marketing. Observation: when a Dropbox customer is sending document links to others, recipients will be your customer's co-workers, clients , colleagues and customers, i.e. people your customers do not want to confuse or irritate. You won't see a sales pitch when clicking OneDrive or iCloud download buttons. If people enjoy their Dropbox experience they will more likely be interested in Dropbox, instead of how to bypass your sales pitch. SUGGESTION: Dropbox should eliminate this sales pitch altogether. However, if making the sales pitch outweighs irritating your customers and their customers, at the very least you should re-design your invitation's dialog box as follows: Make the entire dialog box much smaller; Eliminate this statement: "Download the file now and share it with others on Dropbox" (people receiving file links don't need to be told that. It's an unnecessary distraction that you won't find in OneDrive or iCloud). List only 2 attractive buttons of equal size and like-design with these options in this order: "Continue Download" (with a download arrow to click); "Dropbox Log-in / Sign-up" (clicking it would open log-in / sign-up fields).

I keep getting a "Couldn't complete share" error on my computer.
Last few days while trying to share folders from the Windows desktop app I am getting the following error: On trying to share from website getting following error: I've been using Dropbox for over a decade and have never faced any issued before. I read the help center article too and none of the options apply to me. Please help.
My sharing activity has been interrupted for over a week now.
Hi, I've seen lots of posts on this subject, but it seems that the only way for a basic member to resolve is to hope that an admin sees your forum post. There is no reason given why my sharing has been interrupted, so hopefully someone in the know will spot this post and come back to me. #fingerscrossed
I'd like to be able to change the permissions on all shared links at the same time.
import a feature that changes the permissions of all the shared links simultaneously I'm having a hard time changing the validity of each link, and it's really tiring. This feature would be a miracle for me, it would make things easier. I want all the links. Anyone with the link can watch the video, but unfortunately some links are team-only, and I have to change their validity for whoever has the link. I hope you make this feature available. I have thousands of links, and I have to change them all, and it's very tiring.
How to discover which files I have shared so I can unshare those I no longer want to share?
The automatic process has disabled my ability to share any files at all, apparently because some either have a virus (unlikely) or are copyrighted. I don't make a practice of this but there are two journal articles I'll occasoinally share on a limited basis. Anyway, I have 2GB of shared material, but is there a way i can see what files are shared?
My links are banned - how long do I have to wait until the ban is removed?
I get this and can't share any new links and all old shares no longer work. If there has been a copyright "complaint", shoulding Dropbox be able to tell me what the file complained about was? Anyway, here is what I've done: How to remove links: Log in and on left margin click Shares Click folders and unshare them (done, almost all) Click Links and unshare them, just click and thenchoose unshare link. I've done this with anything remotely copyrighted including 2 works of mine I have occasionally shared. How long do I have to wait until I'm "unbanned"? Is there a way I can unshare everything in a batch? Anything to get out of purgatory.
