57 TopicsNo Download Option
Hello, I use to be able to download my folders by right clicking and choosing the download option or choosing the download file option when the folder is open. I no longer am given the option to download. The only options I am getting is to share, open, delete, rename, etc. I prefer to download the folders and not copy or move out of dropbox. Why did it change and what can I do?Solved26KViews0likes13Comments0.0 kb/sec -- even when network monitor shows 13mb/sec
Since yesterday anything I try to upload/download Dropbox says will take 2+ days. Granted, it's taking a REALLY long time on everything, but while claims it's moving files at 0.0 kl/sec, according to my network monitor I'm seeing fluctuating rates as high as 13mb/sec. What gives?Solved7.5KViews1like20CommentsUnable to download files from shared link; always shows "incorrect email or password"
Hi Friend. My client share a link and I want to download the shared files. But after I enter the password on the download file page, it always shows that the password is wrong. Even if I confirm the password is correct. Btw, When I click "create an account" and "forgotten your password?" nothing happens. The file is about 40MB I try to reset the password. It doesn't work. Looking forward to your earlier reply. Thank you.6.2KViews0likes8CommentsCan you explain the bandwidth/download limit for shared links?
Hello , i intent to use a shared link on a mobile app , the content is only around 5kb , but i dont have an idea about how many times exactly the link will be fetched by users (programmatically) (100k to 500k users, 1 time per session ) , up to the documentaion ,on our plan the limit is 400 giga bandwith and unlimited donwloads daily , which will fit our requierments . But after a lookup on forums here i found this answer made by one DropBox experts says : "Its 400gb / 100,000 connections in a rolling 24 hour period for shared links" what really means the 100,000 connections ?? original Post : https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/View-download-and-export/WHAT-IS-THE-LIMIT-FOR-DOWNLOADS-IF-I-CHOOSE-PROFESSIONAL-PLAN/td-p/5249474.1KViews0likes10CommentsAdding Shared Folders from a differnet account?
I am a long time Dropbox user. I have the 2TB plan and it is working fine. I got a new job and the company uses DB. So I have access to 88Gb of data via the web interface. I would like to keep the folders on a local drive for improved search performance. The shared folders are using my work email address. Question: What is the best way to download and keep these folders in sync?3.2KViews0likes3CommentsHow to revert all files from "online-only" and save to local disk?
Awhile back I used SmartSync to free up disk space. I'm now trying to ensure all files are on the local disk rather than only online. Is there a way to accomplish this? One idea: under preferences in the Dropbox.com settings I found an option to drop the Dropbox file extension, which "allows Dropbox to store files as online-only to save hard drive space." When I toggle it on without saving, I'm told "The system extension will be uninstalled and you’ll be signed out of Dropbox on all devices within the hour. When you sign back in, you can choose what folders to download from Dropbox.com. You will no longer be able to make files online-only." My issue with this is I have 200k+ files perhaps half of which are online-only and Dropbox has limits of file transfer/bandwidth that might prevent me from downloading them all.Solved2.3KViews0likes2Commentscan not copy many files from share links even if I have a plus account
I have a plus account, and I want to copy the files from others' shared link, but the websitesaid there were too many files to save to dropbox and refused to let me copy them. In fact,there are more than 10000+ files in the entire folder, and the entire folder has 400G. But I didn't find any restrictions on why I can't copy to my plus account of dropbox.2.1KViews0likes11Comments
