Downloading files from Dropbox via Safari
Hi I am unable to download any files from Dropbox using Safari. Everything works ok using Google Chrome. I am using Sequoia 15.4 and safari 18.4.. I have the same problem on both my Mac Mini and Macbook Pro. Everything worked ok yesterday and today nothing? I am also now experiencing issues trying to log in and getting a warni g that the the two satge verification could not be sent. What is going on?
Remove "Log in or sign up" Popup when downloading from a shared link
We recently chose Dropbox as the best-looking and most functional drive-sharing tool for our video production company. However, there's an annoying popup prompting clients to log in or sign up when we share links. The "Continue with download only" button is easily missed, especially by older clients, making us look unprofessional. It's frustrating that such a customizable platform has this issue. We hope for a solution soon!
Almost impossible to login due to "games" captcha
Hi everyone! I have a problem I hope you can help me resolve. I use my Dropbox free acount to move files from my phone to the office computer. They are personal things, so I can't install the app or login out of a private browser session. I have two-factors autentication active. Dropbox makes me lose a lot of time in stupid games before login to prove I'm human. I'm not talking about reCAPTCHA here, but real games where you move people to the right chair and other crap like that. How can I avoid this? It's ridicolous, if I wanted to play I will have open an account to a game site, not to personal cloudspace.
Disable "Suggested from your activity" permanently
Hi there, I absolutely hate the feature "Suggested from your activity". I would like to see a checkbox in settings that allows a user to disable that permanently and have the cleanest possible view of file(lists) and folders. The "Suggested from your activity" feature always shows my family photos or, like today, a preview of my tax form. Whenever I open dropbox in the office to browse my files, all my work colleges can see these previews too. The icon that hides it, is only remembering the setting as long as one does not delete cookies from the browser. At our company, it is policy to delete cookies every day at the end of the day. So this "hiding" setting is pretty useless for me. More over, please make it possible to have a clean, minimalistic UI without all the fluff, super big blue buttons and "easy access" helpers. Some people don't need it. It is distracting and disturbing.
OSを最新にしたらファイルがダウンロードできなくなってしまった
現在macproを使用、ブラウザ（Safari）にてDropboxを使用しております。 一昨日、macosを最新の「macOS Sequoia15.4」にアップデートしたところ、ファイルのアップデートはできるのに ダウンロードができない、という状態になっております。 ダウンロードのタブはクリックすると反応するのですが、実際にはDLされないという状態です。 Safariブラウザのキャッシュクリアをしてみたのですが、改善されませんでした。 ios(iPad,iphone)、Chrome、Firefox、Dropboxアプリでは、問題なく使用できております。 これまでトラブルはなかったので、OSアップデートによるSafariの不具合かと推測しておりますが、 改善のための対処法がございましたらご教示いただけますと幸いです。 どうぞよろしくお願い致します。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 PencoNewly made embedded mp3s won't play, they are grayed out.
I have a website where I share recordings of my piano playing with family/friends. I use blogspot to link to the audio files that are in a public folder on Dropbox. I have used the same html for 12 years, but suddenly the copied links from Dropbox won't work embedded - the controls are greyed out. I've spent 2 hrs trouble shooting. The old links still work. But the new links won't. I've tried different browsers, my phone, etc. I can't figure it out. I would be so grateful if anyone could help me. my website is: [link removed as per Community Guidelines] this a link directly to the audio file: [removed as per Community Guidelines] If you try the newest entry posted today you can see the one that doesn't work. Try any other one and it will.
Can't download files from the Dropbox site using Safari on Mac OS
Using Safari Version 18.4 (18621.1.15.111.1, 18621) on an iMac running MacOS 13.7.5 (22H527). Clicking the download button in the upper right of a file detail view does nothing. Tried clearing cache. Tried using a Private window. Tried restarting the iMac. Nada.Separate folders shared by me and shared with me under the Shared tab.
In MS OneDrive - I have two lists: shared to me shared by me In Dropbox - that one menu-choice "shared" - is one very "foggy" thing. I want clear view: 1. what have I shared to someone? (maybe I discover that there is something I should "unshare") 2. what is shared to me? Maybe there is some rubbish - I don't want it anymore.
