Files uploaded via file request are added and then, almost immediately, deleted.
Hi all, long time user here running a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro and up to date Dropbox Basic with 20 Gb storage. I have been using file requests for several years with no problems. In that time people have sent me between 1-10 files. I just created a new request and told people to drag and drop a folder which contains between 100 to 500 files. Tonight the first person sent in their folder containing 180 files. Inside the request folder, their folder showed up followed by the first file. After that the next file would show up briefly in my computer and then disappear. This went on for the remaining 178 files. I went online and hit the deleted files and there they all were. I then recovered all the files and they all showed up in the online folder and within a short time they showed on my computer. In trying to determine the problem I uploaded my own folder with 590 files and the same thing happened. I recovered all files and then they stuck and made it to my computer. I have several other people that will upload their files in the next few days and wish to not have this problem. Maybe a reboot would solve the issue but it seems to be on the Dropbox server as they were all being deleted on the server after briefly showing on my computer and poof, gone. Anyone willing to take a stab at this anomaly?
Can I organize files sent to me through a file request into different folders?
Hello. Would someone be able to help me with how I need to set my my dropbox? I have a link that I have people that will be sending me files to that one folder I made. Is there a way to separate and/or create new folders based on who sent it? Say I have 2 people that send me 5 files at the same time, is there a way to have a rule that would organize from the sender instead of having all the files mixed together in one folder? I am using the free version - would that still be possible?
Is there a way to set naming convention for all file requests?
Greetings! I noticed that there is an option to not include sender's name to the file for each file request, but since I create hundreds of file requests, it takes a long time to turn it off for each request. I wonder if there is an option to set the naming convention for all new file requests? That would make total sense, but I cannot find it. Thanks in advance.
