Share Button
I have been away from Dropbox for a while, but need to start using again to share photo folders. I have uploaded photos in folders to Dropbox, and when I want to share them, there is no "box" that appears to click on (used to be located next to the file when the file is clicked or hoovered over) that would say "share". I'm not finding this problem in researching proplem issues. Help!!
"Your Dropbox is full" when uploading to someone else's Dropbox
Hi. I met someone at a concert and recorded a video of him interacting with the singer, and would like to send the video file to him. He gave me a Dropbox link to upload the video, but when doing so using the Dropbox Android app, I get a notification of "Upload stopped. Your Dropbox is full." Is this referring to MINE or HIS Dropbox being full? I have a free Dropbox Basic account with 2GB of storage. The video file is 2.33GB. I read that uploading files to someone else's Dropbox uses my own, I think, but I don't know if that applies in this situation. Thanks!
I can't share a file, my sharing activity has been suspended
Hello, After years of not using my Dropbox account I logged in and when I tried to share a file I was greeted with: Error in call to API function 2 sharing create shared link with settings: We’ve suspended your sharing activity because of a violation of Dropbox’s Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy, and Terms of Service or Services Agreement. Any help would be appreciated. Thank YouExtremely slow uploads using browser
Hey there. I currently use Dropbox for sharing files and upload my files mostly using the desktop app, which uses my full internet connection of 1Gbps, usually easy and no errors. My main issue: Some of my peers also use dropbox and will send me upload requests and vice/versa. These apparently can only be done through a browser, at least I haven't found a way to use the app yet, which takes absolutely ages. I've tried using different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Opera) or different machines (Win11, Mac and a linux distro) and it will not change how fast it goes. Also this connection is frequently dropped and the uploader shows as if all the files are uploaded, but when checking we see that some files are missing, sometimes a lot, sometimes a few. Is there a way to use the desktop app to share files with someone else's dropbox link? If not, is there are way to make the browser upload faster? I use a few other services that require browser uploading (WeTransfer, Vimeo, Youtube, Pixieset, GoogleDrive) and Dropbox is the only one that is slow. I just did a test of uploading 700 raw photos and it took the desktop app a little over 3 minutes while the browser still has over 45 minutes to go. Thanks anyone for the help, I couldn't find anything anywhere about this, hopefully is fixable!
"We’ve paused your sharing activity" error message when trying to share content.
Hello, I'm experiencing an issue with my Dropbox account. I recently integrated Dropbox with Make (formerly Integromat) to automate the upload of invoice PDFs (from Zoho Invoices) into a Dropbox folder. The upload process worked fine, but in the following module to generate a shared link , I received this error: [409] banned_member/.. We have suspended your sharing activity due to a violation of the Terms of Service and the Acceptable Use Policy, as well as the Dropbox Terms of Service or Services Agreement. Additionally, when I try to manually share files from my account via the web interface, I get the message: “Sharing could not be completed – We have interrupted the sharing of your files.” To my knowledge, my usage has been very limited and involved only standard file types such as PDFs, images, and documents. I’m unsure if this restriction occurred as a result of the Make integration or prior to that. Could someone from Dropbox Support please clarify the cause of this restriction and how I can resolve it? Please feel free to email me if you need further details. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
"We've interrupted your sharing activity" error when trying to share
I'm trying to share a folder and keep getting the error message: "We’ve interrupted your sharing activity. For details or to contact support, read our help centre article." I've read the article but it's not helpful for next steps because I have no idea which of the issues is causing this error message. I'm on a basic plan so I can't contact support. Any ideas on how I can sort this??"We’ve interrupted your sharing activity." How can I resolve this error?
I cannot share my files anymore. When attempting to I am getting this message below "We’ve interrupted your sharing activity. For details or to contact support, read our help centre article." I have read the help centre article but am none the wiser. Is there anyone here from Dropbox that can help as customer support is only available to premium members. Any help would be appreciated, thanks
Why is there a charge for someone to access a shared folder in Plus?
I have a Plus account which I upgraded to be able to share my wedding photos with family and friends. When I sent the link to the folder to my father, he was immediately asked to pay £8 and set-up his own account. Plus he's now been bombarded with emails from Dropbox. Have I misunderstood what Dropbox can do? I don't want my family and friends to have to pay to access my wedding photos! Does this mean I now have to upgrade even more to be able to do this? Any help much appreciated. Thanks Jo
