What to do if Dropbox Shared Photo Folder is Too Large to Unshare?

Last Updated :

You will face a problem to unshare a folder if your shared photo folder is too large in Dropbox. You may take more time for the unsharing operation over a normal web request. If this happens, move your photos from shared folder to another (not shared) folder. Dropbox will take time to finish syncing process. Unshare the (now empty) shared folder. Move your photos back into the unshared folder or delete the unshared folder and use the new folder. Now you can easily share the photos.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
