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.
Difference between shared folder and family room
My team used to each have an account subscribed to the plus plan and we shared a folder to access the files as a team. We recently decided to start a family plan and are wondering what exactly is the difference between a shared folder and a family room when subscribed to a family plan.
How to create a shared area for non-Dropbox users.
I am needing to provide a place for a couple of videographers to upload files to my Dropbox so I can include them in my edits. When I created a shared file and sent it to them, they respond that they are asked to create a Dropbox account of their own to access my link. I just need them to upload their video files to my account - they don't need to have their own Dropbox accounts. Is there a way around this requirement to create accounts for these non-Dropbox users to access a shared directory?Where are shared files?
I wish to create a shared file that could be updated by two people. Where does that file exist? Is it my hard drive, the other party's hard drive, the cloud, or all three? What happens if my device is switched off, and the other party updates the file? Will I know as soon as I log in?
The Share option is no longer available in the desktop version of Dropbox in Windows
Share is no longer available in the desktop version of Dropbox in File Explorer on my laptop. I have quit Dropbox in the Taskbar and re-launched it, but share is still not there. It was there 2 days ago, but after a Windows update, it's not there anymore.
