Does Dropbox remove trailing slash at the end of an url?
Hi all, recently we've relaunched a new website:link removed However the Authorization process in Dropbox for a specific link link removed isn't working as intended. Here's how it works: However according to someone in our engineering team calling this url in dropbox does remove the trailing slash at the end leading of this link: link removed resulting in the process to fail. I'm not an expert on this so : What should we do? We recreated the site from scratch in webflow. We used this code on the page to enforce the trailing slash at the end: Any help/ideas would be really appreciated 🙂
Automated Dropbox Backup to LaCie d2 Professional
Hey everyone, In our office, we use Dropbox to save all our files, keeping everything up to date since we work on a project basis. Recently, we decided to enhance file security, so we purchased a LaCie d2 Professional 14TB storage device. Can anyone guide us on how to set up an automated backup from Dropbox to the LaCie d2 Professional maybe like a weekly or certain period of time, Appreciate it !! ThanksSpace usage not accurate?
Hi, I am a free, non paid user. I recognize that I get up to 2Gb free storage space ... cool. I use it for a second online backup for mission critical home files, almost all only text, no images or videos or any files whatsoever that take up space. In testing, I checked the volume of saved files, and confirmed that I am using about 1.5Gb of space. Been like this for years. Yesterday, I updated these files to reflect a couple recent additions, minor text files, Kb in space used. Dropbox bumped up what it sees as the amount of space used, so it now thinks I am using almost 7Gb of space. I triple checked the two files totaling about 100Kb of space of new files, and even deleted a couple hundred Mb or no longer needed files ... but this number did not change, even after 24 hours. The problem is I lose sync capabilities, and receive endless, annoying popups that I can upgrade to a paid plan, which I dont need. I again ... then downloaded every file into a folder on my desktop, and tested the space used, and found out this was 1.4Gb, reflecting the addition of the two files and the above deletion of a couple hundred Kb old files. I tried permanently deleting all deleted files, and quadruple checked every dropbox folder for any files using up this space, but there literally is none. Every other Dropbox added access folder is empty. Dropbox is outwardly lying and scamming the amount of space I am using, to try to sell me a plan I dont want or need. QUESTION: has anyone else seen this behaviour, or know any tricks to make the interface show the actual amount of space used? Obviously given the scummies-ness of this behaviour, IF I was in the market for additional online storage ... I would never use dropbox ... not now.DropboxAPI uploading small files
Hi! I ask for help in solving my problem. I have a Python script that runs on about 500 PCs. After running, each script writes a text file with a size of 60 bytes (approximately) and uploads it to my Dropbox folder. And I ran into such a problem that the created files can be uploaded to Dropbox indefinitely. Sometimes the file can load after 10 minutes, and sometimes after 2 hours or more. I can't figure out what this is related to, please help me figure it out. Here is a piece of my code where a file is created and uploaded to Dropbox.
Dropbox vs Terabox: Which Cloud Storage Solution Offers Better Technical Features?
Hi everyone, I'm currently evaluating TeraBox and Dropbox for my cloud storage needs, and I’d love to hear some technical opinions on which one stands out for file storage and management. Looking for insights on how these platforms handle technical aspects like data encryption, API integrations, and data accessibility.
Add an option to prevent a thumbnail popup when taking a screenshot
When you use Dropbox desktop app on Windows and enable the option; "Save screenshots to Dropbox" a thumbnail of a screenshot appears at the corner of the screen when a screenshot is taken. This popup needs to be manually closed if you want to take another screenshot. There should be an option in the Preferences to prevent the popup.
Downloading large files from the Dropbox site fails
I am trying to download a combination of files and each time I try to download it, it shows as "stopped" no matter what I do. I saw that this is an issue from the community with DB and I am not sure how to fix it. The file size is approximately 100GB. I hope that someone from support can help me. I do not believe it is on my end, like a network/internet issue as I have a business account with Comcast and my download speeds are adequate for this type of task. I've tried to use Brave, FF, Chrome and Safari. Each time, it either shows that the download as "stopped" or I am able to download the file but it is empty, or at 0. So what's the magic trick you need to do to download documents from DropBox? Thanks in advance for your help. ErinEnable Post-Quantum Cryptography

ACTUAL SPACE BEING USED TO COMPARE ONLINE VS OFFLINE
I wish to view my actual use of storage online vs. offline. If I choose to make available offline, then they should be equal. All past searches as well as Google searches reference old screenshots and nothing relevant to what exists today. Mac, is my PC, cloud is your Dropbox. If cloud says XYZ Gb is being used (12345,000 files, as and example) local PC should equal with XYZ GB and 12345,000 files being stored locally. How do I see, compare, validate, check? WHY is this becoming such a challenge to use? All the complaining in these forums, yet nothing seems to actually be easy!
