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.
Not enough space to add a shared folder, but there should be enough space
Hi. I wanted to add a shared folder, but received a message telling me I don't have enough free space to do so. This surprised me because the folder has a size of 2 GB and I have 2 GB of free space - there is nothing else in my account that could take up any space. My colleagues who were invited to add the same folder & have the 2 GB Basic Dropbox Account just like me had no problems. How can I fix my problem?
shared links vs folders and use of storage space
I am confused about the difference between shared links and shared folders. here it says that if I create a shared folder it uses my storage space but if I create a link it doesn't https://help.dropbox.com/storage-space/storage-space but it seems they are basically the same now, as in if you create a link you are doing the same thing as if you create a shared folder. is this article out of date? I was wanting to create a link to share some large files and so that it is not included in the recipient's storage space, but whenever they receive the link (or shared folder invitation), it just asks them to join the folder, and the files are included in their storage space anyway. is there no option to just share a link any more and for the recipient to see the files but not have them included in their storage space? or how do I do this? thanks!Some files shows 0 byte
So I have some files showing 0 bytes on Dropbox website. When I try to download individually a file, it's gonna be a 0 byte file and when I try to open it with a text editor it's empty. When I use an app to synchronise files on Windows with the app, it still show 0 byte et and it's empty. But If I download the whole folder from dropbox website, the files have the correct size... And I can use them. It's seems to be only font files for now. (I haven't checked my whole 3To of data yet). Any ideas to fix it ?
