I migrated my files to a new Mac, but they all show as 0 bytes. How can I delete them?
I always worked on a pc. Now I finally bought a Mac desktop. I tried to migrate files (obviously in a wrong way) and it looked perfect but they all are 0 bytes. But they all have the correct name. If I delete one, it's disappeared from Dropbox. My question: (how) can I delete all the corrupted files frommy Mac without removing them from Dropbox? Thank you for your answer! InoHow do I unlink from my account a file shared with me by another user?
Hi, can anyone tell me if there's a way to unlink a shared file from my account? It's not my file, so I can't delete it (Dropbox might let me do so, but it's not my file so I shouldn't try). It's large and eating into my quota, and I don't want it on my Dropbox account. There is no folder containing it which I can unlink--just the file.
My account's extra storage was removed and I lost my pictures.
Hello, A few years ago i bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 ( yeah a long time ago ) which came with an offer of 6 months of a bigger Dropbox account. I uploaded a bunch of pictures, but after a while the account got downgraded to basic plan and lost a lot of pictures. if I pay for the subscription, would I have access to those pictures? Thank you
How to free up space from my hard drive?
The Harddrive on my Acer desktop is almost full so to free up space I am uploading redundant music files to One Drive. Then I am deleting them from the Hard drive but notice that this action is not credited, i.e. I have not yet freed up the space I need. How do I make that happen? Am I supposed to empty the trash, or is there a special place in dropbox I do that? Thanks. Oh yeah, I'm on I think Dropbox Family
How can I purge the files from my Deleted files page?
I need to completely empty my delete folder to free up storage space. I have already deleted the files from the cache on my Mac. But I need to remove the files from the delete folder on the Dropbox site. I check the box next to the file name in the delete folder. But no option to remove the file appears. There is no delete link, no garbage can icon. I know that the Delete folder will automatically clear out eventually, but how do I clear out the delete folder right away?
How to remove files until I'm below storage?
Hi, I'm currently on the basic plan and using 4.7Gb storage. I would like to remove folders, music, video out of my Dropbox account until I'm below the 2Gb threshold for the free account. Being retired, I no longer need a large storage facility and less than 2Gb would be ample. How can I accomplish this? Thanks,
