I get the message that my files might contain phishing content
I am trying to share a file and get the message "We’ve interrupted your sharing activity because your files might contain phishing content" Relevant Facts: 1) File does not contain phishing content. 2) I haven't used dropbox for about a year, so I'm not over any limits. 3) File is legal content, legally obtained. 4) File is 22 MB. No customer support except for paid subscriptions. So I guess this is why I don't use dropbox.....19KViews1like183Comments
How can I share files with others, but allow them only to view the files and nothing else?
Dear all, Can someone please explain if what I want to do is possible on DropBox? I have a large folder containing many files and photos. I want to invite friends who are DropBox account holders to be able to view the folder and its contents. I do not want them to be able to edit, share, comment on, or more importantlydownload, any of the folder's contents. I simply want them to be able to view each file and nothing else. I don't want them to have to be part of my/a family account. I don't want them to have to upgrade to more storage space to be able to simplyview my folder and its contents. Essentially, the person can remain as a basic free DropBox account holder. Any help would be apprciated. Thanks! 🙂Solved7.5KViews0likes9Comments

Error 500 attempting to access shared files
Hello, I signed in to see a shared file and I get the Error 500 Error (500) Something went wrong. Don't worry, your files are still safe and the Dropboxers have been notified. Check out our Help Center and forums for help, or head back to home. _________________ I cleared cache and also tried incognito mode (using Chrome.) I've accessed one of these files before without a problem. The other one is brand new. I only have 2 shared files. The problem just started. Thanks!Solved4.8KViews0likes9CommentsExcel file macros do not work in shared dropbox folder

I understand there is now the ability to lock and unlock files on Dropbox however the option is not showing for me when I follow the instructions here. Right-clicking on my desktop file does not bring up the options and neither does the online portal clicking the ellipsis. I have checked in the admin settings and the ability to lock files is activated so not sure why it isn't accessible. Any help on how to resolve this and have the feature available would be appreciated.Solved3.8KViews0likes7Comments
Wanting to make a family photo site...
How to: Create a photo file storage/sharing site where family members may ADD, COPY, comment on a large number of photos. It sounds like something that DB does already- but I don't quite know how to start it up. ?? Ideas, comments please. I have my own website where I wanted to do this task- but as I said above, sounds like DB can already do what I am looking for- I just need some assistance getting it started.Solved3.6KViews0likes10Comments
