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.
Family Room - cannot customize sharing settings
Hi, I have a family plan and I'm the admin. That plan makes available to every member a shared folder "Archivio Famiglia" that stands for "Family Room" I guess. My need is to setup customized credentials to my family members, for instance, I want to give view or edit access to specific folder only. Looking at the documentation Dropbox states that it's possible to set credentials in every sub-folder.. but I don't see (from web UI) any option in menu.
I shared files with edit rights, but the recipients can't edit them.
Hello! I have shared files with 2 members and gave them editing access. They can open dropbox on their end and see the file but cannot edit. One user was able to open a file in another window and make edits but they did not appear in the shared file. We have a family plan if that matters. Help!
Editors in a folder cannot invite others to the folder with edit permissions
I'm an admin for our work dropbox folder. I have changed the permissions in my settings so that anyone who is an editor can share an invite for another editor. However, when my colleagues have done this, the person who receives the invite can only view the folder. They are unable to upload anything. Can you please advise on some possible solutions to this problem.
Cannot ask for support / disable download option on a link with Dropbox Essentials
When I log into my account (Essentials) Chatbot can't help me since he says I do not have a paying account, I do. The main reason I wanted to ask for help was that I can't deactivate the download option in links I send to other people (this option is grey, I cannot click it.Can I receive files through a file request but not see the names of the submitters?
Hi, when using File Request with external users, I have to make sure that each uploaded file remains anonymous to me. I'll use File Request to collect 360° feedbacks about managers, and the participants need to be sure I won't be able to retrieve the identity of the senders. Is it possible ? Thanks, Didier
I think the "1 Shared folder over the limit" needs to be removed.
Dropbox will soon run into serious problems if they do not lift the "1 shared folder over limit" limit. Its only a matter of time before more and more users gather more and more data within their folders and start to experience the same issues my organisation is having. I have now reached my limit, and am now putting my business IP, templates, budgets and designs at risk as I have open / unlocked folders in my company that have zero access permissions. I do not have the option of moving folders or deleting folders as many of my files have links attached to them, and moving them around will de-link the assets created for the specific project, or come from a global library of assets used in multiple projects in multiple locations over many years. I highly recommend that the Dropbox support team urgently resolve this as it changes the overall function and security features that Dropbox offers.
