22 TopicsIf our clients join our Business team, do we need to buy a license for them?
Hello, Our office has set up an Dropboxx account so to share info with our clients. We often receive requests from our clients to join. By accepting their request, do we incur another annual fee paying licence to our account ? See below the screen shot of the Dropboxx alert I have received. Thank you Mike [removed per Community Guidelines]993Views0likes1CommentJoining a Business team, and what is the best way to do that?
I have a personal dropbox under a personal email, but now my new company wants me to join and share their dropbox. How do I best do that? Do I need a totally new account with a different email address and log in, or can I add this new team folder to my existing personal account? The company invited me to my personal email, but when I clicked the invite I got these two strange choices that made no sense. One involved effectively transferring all of my personal files to the company team one (i think!)2KViews0likes6CommentsPersonal account to Business account - All files gone
This will be a long post as I've never experienced any thing like this: 1.) I have had my personal Dropbox account for so many years and been paying the PRO-subscription for couple of years. It's all sorted out, some files offline, some online and I was using 1.2-1.4TB of 2.1-2.2TB available space. 2.) I also have a work email and that email is part of a team-Dropbox (business dropbox). I sometime use it to access work related stuff but I don't use it often 3.) My boss was trying to share some folder which would require 24/7 real time sync between us two (he is the admin account for my work-team-business Dropbox plan) but since I don't have my work Dropbox offline-synced I wanted to use my personal account or that BUT he couldn't share the folder with me because Dropbox said that email wasn't part of his Dropbox-Team. 4.) My boss deleted/removed my work email from the work Dropbox and added my personal account to his Dropbox-business/team account and paid about 10-15$ for it. Then things started to go south. 5.) I get this email saying I have to either A) Merge my personal dropbox to the work/business Dropbox or B) Keep them separate. 6.) I ofc choose separate but then Dropbox asks me to set the app up again on my computer and to choose a new place for me offline-Dropbox folder. 7.) I can't remember all of the things that happened but my files were gone, I had nothing in my personal account anymore, 1.2TB of data was gone. All of my pictures of my children and memories from the past years. So I panic and tell my boss to remove me BUT do it in the right way and convert my account back to a personal account like your website says it should be done. 8.) He does that and I can sign into my personal account again (removed per the Community's Guidelines) but still everything is gone and I have nothing in there. It says my data plan is 2GB a month.. I used to have 2.1TB a month! 9.) He then tried to add my old work email back to the team ) just to see what happens and I do that and all of a sudden I see all my personal files in the Dropbox.com website when logged in via my work email !!! 10.) Now I have two Dropbox folders on my computer a) Dropbox (Personal) and b) Amenic ehf. Dropbox (the name of the company I work for) and in there is a folder named ''Fannar Freyr'' (my name) with all my old stuff (1.2TB) but I have to be logged into my work email (removed per the Community's Guidelines) to see it So I'm absolutely gutted and devastated. My account is gone. It's a total total mess and I'm so angry and frustrated How can I revert everything back to like things were? I just want my personal Dropbox account to be exactly like it was 2 hours ago. I want all my stuff inside THAT account, not linked with my workplace-Dropbox account. Please help me2.5KViews0likes14CommentsRekordbox Team and Family Admin
Hi, I am using Dropbox for years. Actually I am subscribed to the family plan and I am the admin of the family subscription. I read, that it is not possible to join a family subscription if you are in a Team, but do I also lose my family subscription, owned by myself when I join a team? And is it a special case, as the professional DJ team is not a real team, because it has no access to my data accept to the music? Thanks in advance for your answers830Views0likes2Commentsdowngraded after removed from team
Our Dropbox professional trial account was added by mistake to a team account. When removed back from the team we were downgraded back to Dropbox basic, and lost our remaining time on the upgrade (on a + price). Any way we could be back on our professional account? We have the latest invoice.Solved928Views0likes6Comments'An error occurred' message when trying to accept Family invite
Hello, I am trying to accept an invite to join a family plan, however I am getting an error that reads: "An error has occurred. Please contact family manager for help."

We have also tried the following: -Logged in and out -cleared cache, cookies and previous history -Tried incognito -Tried to use mobile app, desktop app and web app. -Tried in other explorers like edge, firefox, etc.... -Tried looking through the website and forums for a solution It would be great to get some technical help to fix this error.955Views0likes7CommentsComplicated Account Question
I had my own Dropbox professional account. I was then added to another law firm's Dropbox account - a Standard account. I received my refund from Dropbox since I paid for the Standard account annually. I do work for this other law firm from time to time and need regular access to it. I now need to add an employee to my own law firm who does not need access to this other law firm's Dropbox but does need access to my firm's files. However, I am now in the other firm's Standard plan. How do I make it so I can add a new user that only has access to my firm's files and not this other firm while also making sure I have access to both the other firm's files and my own? Thank you!Solved4KViews0likes12CommentsLost access to Family Account and family room
I deleted family room folder and lost access to family account. I had the admin remove me from the share with a view to reinviting me. The reinvite was sent, but I am told I am already a member. I go into PLANS and it says I'm basic. There is no way to get back into the family account or to get an invite. This is probably some of the worst software I've seen in my 50 odd years in the industry. QUESTION: How do I delete myself completely from family account so I can be sent an invite and accept it???
