Hi everyone, Dropbox recently appears to have migrated to File Provider on my Mac. My Dropbox folder is now located under: ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox-<company name>/ After this change, I noticed that the following folder contains approximately 25 GB of files: ~/.dropbox/instance1/dfc/ Could someone clarify what this…
Suddenly on my mac (running 15.7.4) and dropbox 264.4.3421, several folders are showing as packages in finder. I can access the contents by right clicking and "show package contents", but that's a clumsy workaround to do often. All of my files are set to offline accessible and it's showing no sync issues. I've only seen…
Hello, I'd like to follow up on a support case regarding Dropbox on my desktop computer. I had opened a case about this before, but it was closed without the issue being resolved — that's why I'm reaching out again. Background: when this machine was first set up, its computer name was "silviovitiello." At some point it was…
Hello. In several files and folders in my Dropbox, clicking "Make Available Offline" does nothing. See the screen recording below. How do I resolve this? [Removed as per Community Guidelines] The files with a green checkmark are ones I got it to download by opening the file in Preview. There are no special characters…
For the past few days, the desktop Dropbox app (258.4.3749) on my MacBook Pro has been showing the 'Reconnecting to the internet. This may take a moment' constantly. Meaning nothing is syncing. I'm on a MacBook Pro with Tahoe 26.5.2. I have no VPNs running, Private Relay is switched off, and I've disabled the firewall but…
I am contacting you regarding recurring $9.99/11.99 monthly charges that I believe were made in error. I have two Dropbox accounts, and both accounts are currently on the Basic free plan. I have reviewed both accounts and do not see any active paid subscription that would justify these recurring charges. Any assistance…
I had to reinstall Dropbox, it said I already had a folder named Dropbox and did I want to rename it. I said yes and now I am missing files—what can I do? Thanks Julee
For the last week or so the dropbox menu that appears when right-clicking has disappeared (file transfer, make available offline, etc). I'm on Tahoe 26.6.2 and the legacy version of dropbox. I've tried…. Turning off Adobe Core Sync - made no difference Reinstalling Dropbox - worked until I turned on my laptop the next time…
MacBook Pro M1 Max, macOS 26.6.2 (25G83), Dropbox at ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox. 2.58TB used of 3TB. Default sync state for new files is set to Online-only. I have had large folders set to online-only for months. Dropbox reports them as online-only, but the disk space is never released. Sync and Storage still shows…
If a file is open when you mark it online-only, the eviction fails permanently and silently. There is no way to see which files failed and no way to re-trigger them, so on a large account they accumulate until a substantial part of the disk is held by files the user already told Dropbox to remove. In my case 1.39 TB. The…
Hi, I see the new beta testing AI feature that would put suggested fields into the document that I then need to double check to confirm their accuracy and still fill in any that AI missed. I can absolutely see the merit of auto-populating fields, and have been wanting this for years as it would be a massive time saver, but…
Reviving this closed ide which was very good!!! Two big suggestions, that are already commonplace out there with different online services: 1. Actually send invoices/receipts to the billing email address specified. I just found out from Support that invoices are only sent to the billing email address if the user is paying…
https://www.dropbox.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association only includes /home and not /home/* so links to personal files do not open in the Dropbox app but rather system browser which is really annoying. Please support it.
If not already done (?) please immediately shut the wide open door described by an IT security expert here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Dc0zvFWMMSL/
