duplicate photos without impacting storage
i have lots of photos and videos that belong to multiple hierarchies. for example if i'm on a trip and i record video of some concerts i'm at, i save those videos to a 'travel' folder organized by place and date and also to a music folder organized by the band i'm recording. this is really handy as i can share the entire history of footage i have of that band with someone easily by sharing the the band folder and i don't have to wade through the other videos/pictures from the trip. ideally, i could do this without impacting storage. after all, it is the same photo or video, and under the hood dropbox could just have two different pointers to the same video and i could share one pointer without sharing the other, thus not doubling the storage space. i think this would be useful for a lot of users!
iPhone storage and dropbox
Hi! Hoping you can help. I have the Dropbox app on my phone and I am in the process of moving my videos from my camera roll to Dropbox. I am doing this purely to try and free up space on my phone. However my question is - does this actually free up space on my phone or does it just basically store them in a different place as my videos have disappeared from my camera roll and are now in dropbox so I’m thinking maybe I’m not actually freeing up any space? Please if someone could help answer my question that would be v helpful!
Using "Manage Hard Drive Space" for folders synced through Dropbox Backup
So there's a great feature in Dropbox desktop that allows you to see graphically what is taking up all of the space on your hard drive, and very quickly change certain/all dropbox content to online only to free up space. However, it turns out that if you use Dropbox Backup, that manage feature is disabled. I don't fully understand why, as using backup as I see it, makes my desktop and documents live in my Dropbox folder set, and can be used as such, with making my own files online to save space. I appreciate that maybe the Manage Space function may not be able to work against my desktop/documents backup, but I would still expect to be able to manage my main Dropbox Team folder content to release any old offline files easily. I did raise this previously onhttps://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-ideas/Missing-quot-Manage-Hard-Drive-Space-quot-option-when-using/idc-p/776330but it was closed due to inactivity. Figured I would raise it again to keep it live and hope that people upvote it, so that the dev guys take a look at it.
I got a message that I have only 2 GB of space; where did my 16.75 GB go?
hi! first of all I am quite pissed as there's no way to contact anyone on dropbox. second, on 2019/09/29 I had 16.75 gb of space gained in about 8 years by inviting people to join dropbox, and now I got the message that I have only 2 gb. what happened? There were written nowhere that the space had some expiring date, and I didn't sign that I agree to reduce the space i gained by basically ''selling'' other people's sensitive data. I want my space back?. thank you.
