You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Close all Security alerts
Implement an option to close all (or multiple) security alerts: If you have DataLossPrevention and Sensible Data acitvated, you get freaking tons of Notifications. In this case I am 100% sure that all of them are not relevant. I have to open each individual of them and close them. Its not possible if you got 100+ notifications, it would take several hours.
I received a notification about shared files. Was it a scam?
I just received a Dropbox notification that I had received a set of plans from a client, but when I went to look at the documents it told me they were sent to me via a OneDrive link, but when I clicked the link it took me to eBay. Now that I have done this i realize this has to be a scam, but now what do I need to do? How does stuff like this get through?There should be a better warning before merging with a team account
Hi, I recently received a request from a client to merge with his team account, when what he wanted to do was send me a link to some files. It was his error. I was faced with a choice: open a new dropbox account (so I'd have two) or merge my account with his. It was early and I hadn't had enough coffee. I chose the latter and immediately received an email informing me that my Dropbox account had been cancelled, my money refunded, and all my files were no longer accessible. So, I had made an error too. His error plus my error took a day to undo, and my system is still the updating 220,000 files that had been backed up and had been instantly removed. Such a major change (cancellation of my account) should not be allowed to occur without at least one warning – something like: "Are you sure you want to cancel your Dropbox account? All your backups will be lost. You will only be a member of the team account." That would have probably avoided the stress and hassle, as at that point my spidey sense would have finally kicked in, and my Monday would have been saved. Thank you!
Why am I being asked to turn on accessibility on my new Mac computer?
Good Morning, I have a new computer and keep getting this message. I read the "Learn More" page and I need further information. I would like to see "Dropbox" on the side bar of my computer so I can easily access my account when I want to store files to Dropbox and not just on my computer but I don't need Dropbox to do anything else. I do not use it with a team. So, I don't want to have Dropbox accessing my whole computer and it seems like this is what the error code might be referencing. Sorry for the really elementary question but any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thank you.
