The Dropbox app doesn't show the same shared files between colleagues.
Hello everyone, in my Dropbox account I do have an Excel file shared with my colleagues: I can view/edit normally on Dropbox app with the same my account logged in, my colleagues can view/edit the file on Dropbox through the PC but the problem is they cannot see the same file AT ALL on their Dropbox app with theirs same acounts logged in. Is anybody having the same issue or had the same issue and solved it? Many thanks in advance!
Is it possible to sync files between the USA and China?
Hello! I found this service while was searching for an app to sync files across devices and now I wonder if it's possiible to share info from device to other one if they're in different countries? I need to sync all the data about my online Sellvia store + all the docs on the computer constantly, without the need to do it manually. I'm in USA and the other person with device is in China. So is this possible? (sorry if the question seems to be silly, I'm just not a tech pro and don't know a thing about it)
Can I send a link that'll open up to a local file instead of the website?
Hi all Is there a way to send a local link to a Dropbox file? My wife and I use the same Dropbox account to share files. If I want to call her attention to a file, I can send a regular Dropbox link, but it'll open up a browser and show her the file at dropbox.com, when I know full well the file is available to her on her local Dropbox folder. It would just save me saying "hey there's a file in dropbox, it's in the X folder, subfolder Y, it's called blah blah". Both using Macs. thanks!
How can I share a video only with a specific family member?
Help! I made a video for my BILs surprise bday and sent to my sister. She opened it using the Google gmail and it opened in their shared account. Did I just ruin the surprise? She said she deleted it but is it too late? How do I share it to her without it going to their joint email? Ugh. I told her I was techie challenged.Uploaded files in a File Request not appearing in my account.
Hi. Have just checked my Files, and the one I uploaded yesterday, plus a whole slew of others, is not there. I always get an email confirming when I've uploaded, but never checked the Box before, so it's a bit of a shock that most of my audition tapes are not there! Does this mean they were never actually uploaded after all? Does it make a difference that these were tapes requested OF me and not BY me? Seems odd and worrying. Thanks.
How can we restrict who can share to groups?
I'm currently facing an issue where certain users in our Dropbox environment have the ability to share things in Team folders that they have access to. While the sharing feature works great for sharing with specific other employees, sometimes people share to the Everyone At group where it results in hundreds of employees receiving email notifications that something has been shared with them. It is usually immediately unshared, but then that just creates a lot of confusion. For some context, we are in the process of migrating from local shared folders to Dropbox, and all groups other than the Everyone At group are IT-managed through AD sync. We would also like to keep the Everyone At group of possible for us to share out any documents to all employees if needed. Is there a way to restrict a users ability to see groups, or to restrict their ability to share to them?Cannot see the files shared with me in my finder.
Hi! I can see my dropbox folders&files in the finder. However, I cannot see the 'files' shared with me in my finder. Please note, files that were shared with me is not in a folder - just the excel documents were shared. On the other hand, I can see the shared files on the dropbox item attached to menu bar (top dock). Please help!
