You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
How can I remove some users from the list of external collaborators?
I can gave access to some "Joe Random" to a file he needed to download. Fine. All good. 4 years later, the file is deleted, and his name still comes up on my list of external collaborators. There is zero reason for any Rando's to be listed here. There are 91 of them. There should be like 4-5 of them. How can I get rid of these names that no longer need access to files? Joe Rando and his 85 friends can go!
"We've interrupted your sharing activity" error when trying to share a link
NO reason given. None of the possible causes in the "Help" article, like spam, copyright, bandwidth etc, apply. So I'm totally clueless as to why I'm getting this message: I have NO idea where to look to try and fix this. I get the message every time I take a screenshot; first the "link to your screenshot was copied to your clipboard" message and then the one above that says it couldn't copy the link. But I can insert the link so go figure. ANYBODY know how to fix this? Thanks so much!
Suspended sharing activity because of a violation of Dropbox’s Terms of Service
Hello, I've been having trouble sharing a file or folder for days I always get the message: Can’t share file We’ve suspended your sharing activity because of a violation of Dropbox’s Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy, and Terms of Service or Services Agreement. I am not aware of any rule violations, no option from the linkhttps://help.dropbox.com/share/banned-linksapplies to me. The Chatbot can't help, waiting 24 hours doesn't help either. i use this all day every day for work.I don't see the option to unshare a folder, even though I'm the owner
I'm facing some problems when trying to stop sharing several folders I'm the owner. The share icon is present, but I am the only member of this folder. I understand that until I remove myself from the shared folder, it will remains shared; however, I can neither find the option to remove myself from the folder nor the option to "unshare folder".What should I do?? It seems that the issue of unsharing folders is very common on this forum, perhaps indicating that this feature isn't as easy to use as the Dropbox team thinks, or the documentation is not explicit as it should be.

How can I share a link with multiple people only to upload documents?
How can I share a link with multiple people only to upload documents. Not view anything that has been uploaded? Example: I have a client intake form that gets sent to all clients. Can I add a link at the end of the form for each person to upload their documents and not see what others have uploaded?
Feedback to enhanced the sharing capabilities on Dropbox.
Feature Request: Enhanced Sharing Capabilities on Dropbox 1. Multiple Share Links with Independent Settings and Permissions Request: The ability to create separate share links for the same file/folder, each with unique permissions (e.g., view-only, comment-only, edit) and security settings (e.g., password protection, expiration dates). Why It’s Important: It’s common to share one file with different stakeholders who each require different levels of access. Separate links improve security and reduce confusion. 2. Send and Track Analytics for Shared Files Request: A feature that provides insights into how shared links are accessed—who’s viewing them, when, and how many times they’ve been viewed. Why It’s Important: Built-in analytics enable better tracking of engagement, making it easier to measure file reach and ensure important documents are actually seen. 3. Version Updates on Existing Send and Track Links Request: The ability to replace or update a file on an existing shared link (especially a “Send and Track” link) without having to issue a new link. Why It’s Important: Files often go through revisions; allowing in-place updates ensures recipients always have the most recent version, saving time and reducing the chance of outdated information circulating. These enhancements would streamline workflows for Dropbox users, particularly those who frequently share files in professional or collaborative settings.
