Extremely 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!
Dropbox not syncing to server using a shared link
Hi, I'm new here and I'm trying to figure out a problem. So our website has embedded a shared Dropbox link to host the files so I can upload them to a server but it is a common issue that it is not syncing with the website. I have already tried to clear caches, checking fire wall, anti virus, network connections but nothing seems to help resolve it. Do you guys have any suggestions? Thank you in advance!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
"Upload failed. Please try again" error when uploading files on the website
Upload failed. Please try again Has been happening for the last 2 weeks. I'm using Safari. I'm on the basic plan, used just over 463MB. The files I'm trying to upload are pdf and csv files, 20-60MB in size from my MacBook, definitely local files, not on GWS etc.
'Empty Files Cannot Be Uploaded', but the files aren't empty
Help please! I am uploading a folder from the company server and getting "empty files cannot be uploaded" errors for a handful of them. They are not empty and I can open and view the files on my computer to confirm (all PDFs). I tried copying the folder to my desktop and got even more errors. I did clear the browser data, which did not help. I am using Chrome and tried Edge, which also made no difference. I have never experienced this before; usually uploads are seamless. Anyone? Please and thank you, kindly.
The Dropbox website is glitching and freezing
Over a month ago I uploaded some files to share with a client and since then some time after, the website seems to be glitching and the files show as a flashing on the screen and I can't get the site to work after I click on share or anything else and freezing starts. This is still going on and I have installed 3 different apps and all are doing the same thing. I'm at my wits end.
