Allow Dropbox Family plans to add additional storage.
This is an easy money-maker for Dropbox. Right now, for some unknown reason, there's a storage cap for Dropbox Family Plans. Why? Makes no sense. Families grow... and as kids grow up, they have more and more videos to save/share. As such, allow the user to top up and add additional TBs of storage for $x/month. Dropbox created the Family Plan for a reason -- to keep families together and to differentiate it from a Business Plan. I get that. But why put a lid on the Family Plan? Let's families grow. And in the process, make more money this way. As a side note, Microsoft and Google make it super-easy to add additional storage (and charge for it). So Dropbox should make it super-easy for Family Plans to add additional TB of storage.Getting a message that my account is full even after deleting my files
I received a message that my drop box is full. I deleted all my Dropbox files on all of my devices plus the cloud. I still get a message that says my Dropbox is full please upgrade. If I upgrade will the same thing happen in a month?
How to delete my Dropbox Backup files
Hello, I saw that my file box is almost full - Personal Dropbox spaceUsing 22.4 GB of 22.75 GB Regular files (107.9 MB) Backup (21.8 GB) Replay (0 bytes) Shared files (443.9 MB) Unused space (388 MB) I am suprised that I have Backup 21,8gb I do not see anywhere what files are those and how to delete them, because I do not use any backups on dropbox. Can anyone please tell how to delete them, because I do not know even where they are stores and there are no folders with name Backup.
Espace libre
Bonjour, Je me permets de venir vers vous car je viens de libérer de l'espace sur ma Dropbox (je l'ai même complètement vidé...) Mais l'application me dit toujours que je n'ai plus d'espace libre, du coup je ne comprends pas. Je souhaiterai avoir quelques explications. Je souhaite continuer d'utiliser l'application mais je ne souhaite pas, pour l'instant, passer sur une offre supérieure. Merci d'avance pour votre réponse. Cordialement.
I got a notification saying I'm out of space, but I still have 7GB left on my Dropbox account.
Hi There, A notification says "You're account is currently out of space and has stopped syncing", however My Account shows I have my used 15.4GB out of 22.5GB, complete with a section marked Unused Space 7.1GB ( Pls see 2 pics below) Recommending Dropbox to half of suburbia many, many years ago, earned me an extra 20.5GB capacity for my 2GB Dropbox Basic Account. The Out of Space message by the way, was preceded by a warning March last year ( see pic 3) when I had about 12 to 13 GB storage used. Would someone be able to help me get the account syncing again, please? Very Best - Simon H
Need to know how many subfolders and files are nested inside any given folder, server-side
Good day we are evaluating migrating two companies from Sharepoint to Dropbox. We need a way to know how many subfolders and files are contained, server-side, under any given top-level folder. This is an extremely simple information, and it is of fundamental importance in order to check complete sync after a large file upload, download or move. Of course such information must be available rapidly, without browsing each single subfolders (there are dozens thousands) and without limiting to check desktop-side (which is entirely useless, given that we want to survey the status of data moves SERVER-SIDE). So, for instance, suppose we have: - top-level folder "A" - inside "A": 3 files and the 2 subfolders "B" and "C" - inside "B": 7 files and 1 subfolder "D" - inside "C": 5 files and 1 subfolder "E" - inside "D": 12 files and no subfolder - inside "E": 8 files and 1 subfolder "F" - inside "F": no files and no subfolders.... ... I need a way to know that inside "A" there are: - 35 files - 5 subfolders In Sharepoint it is ridiculously complex to achieve such a basic information, but at least I can use PowerShell and some additional module. $FilesCount = (Get-PnPFolderItem -FolderSiteRelativeUrl "Top-Level-Folder-Name" -Recursive -ItemType File).Count $SubFoldersCount = (Get-PnPFolderItem -FolderSiteRelativeUrl "Top-Level-Folder-Name" -Recursive -ItemType Folder).Count Write-Host "Number of files: $FilesCount" && "Number of subfolders: $SubFoldersCount" HOW exactly can I have such information with Dropbox? Many thanks Enrico PencoDesktop App - Provide Option to Skip downloading
in the desktop app , we have an option to Synch Next, similar to this option I will like an option to skip downloading. This button should still download metadata (so we can see thumbnails, file size etc) without actually downloading the content. This is especially useful when i have a small harddisk and I selected a big folder/file to be downloaded to desktop Currently it can become tricky and time consuming if we have lot of folders and un-intentionally we selected to synch lot of folders on a very small local hard disk
