Dropbox Feedback
Hello, some new features that seem to really irk me me when I'm trying to use my account. Complexity: I just want a basic interface (nothing special) where I can see/share/interact with the files I place here. Your product is becoming a nuisance to use with all of the extra features. Make them optional, not required. The reason I went with DB is because your competitors were doing this to their free products and really didnt care if their customers paid or not, or even liked it for that matter. Comments: These things are getting dastardly annoying. I know some users really want this feature, but please give me an option to disable globally. Stop all shares/sharing: This option would globally strip out any shares established. Think of it like a panic button. This would allow people to stop a share if they cannot find it and the content could potentially be sensitive. Photos: Just give me a list of files. Please stop trying to group photos automatically. It is sorting my photos based on the name and not the actual content. Know what? Just give me an option to disable it. Thanks. Click-bait: Please dont click-bait someone and then not give them a way to revert. I'm looking at you Dropbox Paper! I "click here for info" and found my self permanently signed up for something I have no need or use for with no way to get out of. While I give you a good pat on the back for sticking it to MS and G for making things a bit more competitive on the market, I cannot condone this tactic. Blocking of sharing: Why would you want to do this? There are unscrupulous people out there. Scenario: I've been randomly shared a file that was an executable and it just showed up in my file list. My curiosity lands me a crypto-locker virus. Catch my point? Its probably a really good idea to not let it just happen. I've shared content with another DB user and it just magically showed up in their file list. Thank you for your time.10KViews9likes14Comments
Need to join Business account
Help, I have a personal dropbox account and I have started to freelance for a company who has added me to their business drop box because they do alot of their work in paper. How can I get my account to act as a business account and not just my personal. Im missing so many functions that I need to do my job and its really frustrating.878Views0likes5Comments
A member's account seems to be suspended; how can they be added back?
Hi, A member of our team can no longer log in to their Dropbox account, or access Paper. No reason is given on the error message, it just says to contact the administrator. Other members of the team are able to log in, but I can't see where we can manage users. What actions are required to get this user back on the account or at least understand why their account has been suspended? Not sure where to start. TIASolved4KViews0likes5Comments
Family Room versus Team Folders for two people
I am currently a Dropbox Individual Plus subscriber, considering an upgrade to Individual Pro. My wife has her own Plus account, so together we have 4TB storage available. What's missing for us is the functionality of a Team / Group area like the business plans - with easy shared access, locked editing for version control, streamlined Paper usage, etc. Essentially I would like to set up Dropbox as a "cloud-based NAS for two". A Family Plan might work for us, but we would lose total storage space and some extra Pro functionality if we both decide to upgrade. Since it's just us, a Business plan doesn't make sense because we'll be paying for an unused third member if I understand correctly. So my question is, what's the best way to configure Dropbox as our "Cloud-based NAS", with a shared team area and at least 4TB total space? Thanks, SkySolved4.9KViews1like3Comments
