3032 TopicsCan 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.Solved55Views0likes3CommentsCannot invite someone to my shared folders, why?

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.Solved52Views0likes4CommentsI'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.30Views0likes3CommentsDropbox 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 don’t 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?32Views0likes3CommentsWe’ve interrupted your sharing activity because you tried to share a file that may contain malware.

Summary I'd love to see an option for people uploading files via a Dropbox File Request to include a short comment or description with their upload. Why this matters This would be incredibly helpful for providing context — especially when receiving files from multiple people (like resumes, signed forms, or project files). Right now, there’s no way for the uploader to explain what the file is about, and that can lead to confusion or extra follow-up. How it could work During the file upload process, there could be an optional text field where the sender can briefly explain the file's purpose, content, or any special notes. Benefits Easier file organization Less follow-up needed to clarify uploads Improved collaboration, especially for teams or clients submitting documents I think it would make File Requests even more powerful and user-friendly.18Views1like1CommentCheck mod dates on Dropbox file
Hi I dare say this has been asked before, I couldn't find a topic/thread. I am using DB to store an Access Database. This could be accessed by 3 or 4 people remotely who I've shared it with. The data could well have changed. When the office staff come in the following day, I need my C# windows app to checked the Server.ModifiedDate of database on Dropbox against its counterpart held locally, if the Dropbox version is newer then copy the dropbox one to local. At the end of the session, then to copy the local version to dropbox. Simples! Yes? I realise there are other questions about preventing access when one persons is using the database etc etc. I just wanted to get past first base, so to speak. Any pointers would be gratefully received. Thanks TonySolved67Views0likes3CommentsError "We have paused your sharing activity. Your files may contain phishing items".
