Expiry notifications that files will expire in 2 days, why is that?
I'm getting a notification saying my files expire in two days. I don't have any bonus space just a basic account of 2GB. There is 785 MB of stored files in my account. I thought this service was for ...
Basically that xyz file and 11 more items expire in 2 days and hasn't yet been downloaded. Trouble is I don't recall any file transfers. This is a static account for updates on word docs. Nothing I would be sending out anywhere. Anyway as long as they don't disappear I'm happy.
Thanks for the response.

Dropbox StaffThanks for the additional info gmartfin!
That does indeed sound like a transfer that has been shared with you, rather than you sharing to another person.
In this case, it seems like nothing to be concerned about on your part, unless you want to download the files that were shared with you of course.
If there's anything else that I can help with, please feel free to give me a nudge here anytime. :grin:
Have a great day!
I have invited a friend to share a dropbox folder with a lot of files (about 2400 song lyrics and chords). He synced all of the songs into his Songbook program. Now he has received this same message - "Your transfer expires in 2 days". Does this mean he will lose all his songs? What should he do?

I'm glad to hear that, boudreauml.
If anything else comes up, you know where to find us.
In the meantime, I hope you have a lovely day ahead!

Hi boudreauml, thanks for joining us on this discussion.
The notification is about the file transfer itself. So after two days, the file transfer will expire.
If the files were saved to the third party app or downloaded to the Dropbox account, they won't be affected.
I hope this helps!
Thank you. It seems the songs are still there, so it worked out.
