I don't want Dropbox to remove my files
I installed Dropbox for one reason: to download and keep files there until I decide to remove them; however, Dropbox apparently seems to see its role in another way, and every time I've asked for an explanation, I'll get the same response: send a screenshot. That's when I give up in frustration. Today, I've lost or misplaced an important file, and I have to try again, but I still see no need to send a screenshot. Anyway, here is what I expect from Dropbox: 1. When I download a file there, I expect it to remain there until I decide to remove it. THAT'S IT, BUT MAYBE MORE IS NEEDED. (1) I don't want Dropbox to ask me if I really want to keep my file in Dropbox. (2) I don't want Dropbox to remove that file without my permission. Can you help me with this problem? I've had it for years, but Dropbox kept turning me away by asking for a screenshot. Sincerely, Warren Jones (Sat Sep 26, 2024)
Do users removed from shared folders receive a notification?
If I remove a user from a shared folder (being myself the owner of the folder), will that user that has been removed receive a notification? I'd like to remove a user from one of my shared folders, but I don't want that user to know that they have been removed.
Dropbox keeps uploading photos, even after camera uploads has been disabled
as per instructions i have stopped auto download of photos but no sooner I painstakingly delete all photos, Dropbox immediately uploads photos again and i start to get message, "upgrade for more space". I believe this is a scam Dropbox is running to lure people in buying more space. I have already chosen "take no action" in "choose AutoPay defaults". what else should i do to stop Dropbox uploading photos by default
Can I backup my Dropbox files to an external drive, and then delete them from Dropbox?
So, if I permit Dropbox to backup my files (onto a portable HD), which somewhere along the way my new Dropbox said I could do (so I clicked on it before loading up my photos on Dropbox) --then could I simply delete the photos from my Dropbox and they'd stay on the portable HD, but be gone from the Dropbox?? It seems like a cumbersome way to do this, but apparently the backup is storing stuff on my portable HD, so it's kind of like moving a copy there to keep??? Thanks
