they really should have a 5 dollar plan giving you 500 gb and a 2 or 3 dollar plan giving you a couple hundred. someone really needs to contact them about this. On 4/15/19, 'Shawn Krasniuk' via MacVisionaries wrote: > I understand that. While things most certainly shouldn't be entirely free, I >

Re: Dropbox Changes

I understand that. While things most certainly shouldn't be entirely free, I do say there should be more pricing plans. When you're on a fixed income and you're paying for other services, $10 a month is a pretty steap price. Not only that, but I certainly do not need a terabyte of storage. If

Hello Donna. Google Drive and Dropbox have easy ways to share links to files. In Dropbox, you right-click on the file, hit the Applications key/ Shift F10 in Windows and probably Vo Shift M on the Mac. After you bring up the context menu, there is an option to copy link. I didn’t remember
