Hi everyone, I’m trying to set up Dropbox on File Provider with the Dropbox folder on an external drive, but setup always fails with Errno 513 (NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=513, “The file couldn’t be saved because you don’t have permission”). Choosing the default location on the internal drive works fine. Setup Mac mini, macOS…
Hi all, I’m hoping a Dropbox moderator can help, because I’m stuck and have a time-sensitive business problem. I signed up for Dropbox Standard (1-month trial) so my clients could download about 500 GB of files via shared links. A client then reported that the link was disabled with the message that it “has been shared or…
Here's the situation. I lost my C drive unexpectedly. The good news is that I ran almost nothing off of that drive. All my Dropbox user files are located on a drive called D, which is intact. I THINK the Dropbox app was located on C or another drive, but I don't know. (The cache file is on D with the rest of my Dropbox…
I know this right-click menu has been an issue recently, but my thing seems a little different. First: I am running Windows 11 pro with Dropbox 269.4.4231 My issue issue is that the right click menu keeps disappearing. I saw on a previous thread a direction to install the latest stable version of dropbox, which I did, and…
I’m getting an odd bug, using Paper on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. Whenever I’m in Edit mode, a bar appears that seems to be asking me to log in, though I’m already logged in. If I tap it Paper leaves Edit mode. The bar always says, "passkey for this website." (Picture attached)
I just redownloaded dropbox after not using it for a few years. it currently says I have 0 of 2TB of space used. I am attempting to connect to a client's shared file, which is almost completely empty. I am the one who is supposed to upload things in there. however, when I click on Join Folder, it says that I have no…
I pay for a drop box subscription. Today I had to request to reset my password. When I did that and tried to reopen on my desktop, my account did not restore & it does not show my paid plan. It is now showing as the "free" plan and all my years files are missing. Is there any way to speak with someone live and drop box to…
I am using the Dropbox desktop app on a Mac. Twice now, I have had files deleted out from under me, literally as I was still working on them in Word. In place of the filename, it shows up as a weird temp file. Once I closed it without realizing and thought I had lost the file completely, but was able to restore it by…
If I pause for a certain time, it does not resume after this time. See screenshot - paused until 10:15 but it is already 10:18 (and leaving it much longer doesn't make it start) This used to work, and there was a previous report from 2025 ("Pause Sync" does not automatically restart on my Windows device. - Dropbox…
There are MANY similar questions in the community about this, but none answer the problem: I can't get files to download local on my machine. Environment :macOS 26.5, latest Dropbox downloaded and installed, Dropbox has Full Disk Access Steps to reproduce: In the Finder, select a file that is Online Only Right click → File…
Nell’app Dropbox per iPhone (versione 494.3.2), nella scheda File, sotto ogni cartella viene visualizzata la dicitura relativa alla data dell’ultima modifica (ad esempio «Modificato 5 anni fa»). Vorrei poter disattivare questa informazione e visualizzare esclusivamente i nomi delle cartelle, ottenendo un elenco più…
Implement "online-only" option for files sync in the Linux Desktop app/CLI, as it already exists in Windows and macOS applications (https://help.dropbox.com/pt-br/sync/make-files-online-only). This is an old request in the Linux community, as we can see in the forums listed below:…
In Windows, when I right-click a file in File Explorer and choose Copy Dropbox link, the link goes straight to the clipboard. Nothing shows whether it is a view link or an edit link.
I love the auto play when I’m in a specific folder. I often set audio files up so that I can listen to them in autoplay. But in recents, which it newly began auto playing, is counter productive as it goes through something like a song I’m working on, to a video. While I’m driving, this is basically a hazard. So I would…
Sometimes I keep taking photos of the same thing until I get a good shot (or a few good shots), and then I delete the rest that I don't want to keep. But if Camera Uploads is on, I have to delete them in Dropbox too. This can sometimes become quite annoying, especially if I want to keep the 2nd or 3rd last shot, I have to…
