Dropbox Family
14 TopicsDownloading specific files using a shared link
I shared a link to one of my folders with my family. They use a browser to open the link and view the folder of pictures. They do not have dropbox. Now, they want to select and download multiple files, but that doesn't seem possible? Clicking on a file name or even the white space next to it actully open the picture to view. Same happens in file list view and gallery view. Any way to select multiple files in shared links just like it works in dropbox.com when you are logged in? Thanks.Solved16KViews0likes10CommentsRemoving Downloaded Dropbox files from Computer
Hi, I am currenlty running into a problem where all of my dropbox files are being held in both dropbox.com and on my computer. As of now i have it set up where i can do to my documents and select dropbox and ADD or Remove files there as well as edit. It functions just as any folder. I am wanting to know how I can choose what is stored on my computer and what is stored in the cloud. My family photos are taking up 30GB's of space on my computer and are also in dropbox.

Hi everyone, I have been having difficulty opening my dropbox folders on my windows when I double left-click on folders. It usually takes about 10 to 15 seconds to open each folder. However, the weird thing is when I right-click on the same folders and select open in a tab or when I left click on the folders in quick access, they open quickly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and I have deleted dropbox cache but neither of them worked. I have been using dropbox for more than 10 years and this is the first time such a weird thing is happening to me. Could someone help me identify the problem please?4.1KViews1like12CommentsIt takes AGES to download files
I don't know why butit suddenly got super slow, 1 day to download 7gb to give you and idea. I have a family plan. I've already checked my internet connection and it's fine; I've already tried to download the same files from Google drive and it works fine there; I've already checked the dropbox broadband and it's not restricted and also I've already tried touninstall and reinstall. When I tried to upload something it works with no issue, so the problem is related only to download. I'm a Mac user.

I am using the Dropbox App on my Windows 11 PC. I have the green check mark on the file, indicating that it is a local stored file. My issue is, is that the PDF does not preview in the Preview Window. This is a very valuable feature to me and makes it so I do not have to open each individual file. This issue occurs ONLY on my Windows 11 PC. I have installed the Windows PowerToys and changed the settings on PDF files, however, it does not fix the issue. Any other help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!!!1.9KViews0likes3CommentsDropbox Paper Error 404
I often use .paper files for taking notes and tracking the progress of tasks with checkboxes on my work team. I'm using Windows 11 with the latest version of the Dropbox app (175.4.5569 at the time of writing). Every time I open a .paper file from my file explorer, it opens a tab in my browser that reads "Error (404) We can't find the page you're looking for." The URL also switches to https://www.dropbox.com/desktop_login. If I check the Dropbox icon in my task bar, I'm still logged in to the app. I can open the same exact .paper files from the Dropbox folder structure in my browser with no problems. This has been my temporary workaround, but the problem is still annoying and inconvenient. My boss, who uses a macOS, doesn't have this problem. I've tried logging out and logging back in and uninstalling and reinstalling the program with no success. Hyperlinks with the URL to the .paper file don't work either. Does anyone know how to fix this? ThanksSolved1.6KViews0likes3CommentsIf I remove a "family member" , will the folders the member initiated stay on my account?
If I want to remove a "family member"/user from our account will the folders that member initiated/created stay on my account? Also, will they no longer have access to the folders they created? Thank you for your help.Solved1KViews0likes4CommentsImages moved from Macbook to Dropbox folders not showing thumbnails and not opening
I have a dropbox family account of which I am the owner. All the images I have moved from my macbook pro to dropbox folders show the thumbnails and open on double clicking when I first add them. However, when I go back to the folders a short time later, the thumbnail image no longer shows and I have to right click to choose preview to open them (even though it is set as default to open). The images have a cloud images next to them and show zero bytes. If I edit them from dropbox the thumbnail appears again and opens ok. It is a pain having to open every image to see what the thumbnail is and is making my workflow much longer. I have gone into 'get info' and set preview to open all files of this type but it doesnt seem to make any difference. Dropbox is still at the top of the 'ope with' list when I right click the image to open it. Help please. I am in my sixties and not particularly technology savvy although manage just fine unless its technical.974Views0likes6Comments
