I need to do a system restore on Windows. Everytime I do it now, I get a Windows error saying the process failed because of Dropbox. I've tried it literally 10 times. I've deleted the Dropbox cache. I've uninstalled the Dropbox app. I've completely deleted the Dropbox folder and files. I've restarted my computer multiple…
I got an email that says "Google files in Dropbox will be replaced with shortcuts to documents in Google Drive" and "If you do not wish to move your Google files to your Google account, they will be automatically converted to Microsoft files." I'm not sure which option to choose. I mostly use Dropbox to store Word files,…
This vital feature seems to have disappeared. When sending time sensitive or otherwise important files, part of the reason we use Transfer is that we are automatically notified that the recipient has downloaded the files. I understand it can be set case by case, but when we are doing this regularly, it seems like an…
Out of the blue I'm having the good old recurring problems with *.idlk files getting locked by Dropbox idiotically trying to sync them. It's been fine for a couple of years for me, until it came back all of a sudden now. I tried setting up Ignore rules in the Dropbox ignore file - to no avail. The program stupidly keeps…
Is there a way to use folder or user permissions to stop specific users from deleting files while still allowing them to add and edit?
I’m not sure if this has been suggested before, but one thing I’ve noticed is that Dropbox Basic users are often looking for ways to earn a little extra storage. That gave me an idea: why not reward active Community members with some extra storage for meaningful contributions, such as providing accepted solutions and…
My Dropbox connector is Connected in Perplexity. searching for files in different existing folders always gives the status dropbox_mcp: unsupported and zero results. This also happens after re-linking and browser restarting. what could be wrong? my perplexity subscription support this function and the files are downloaded…
Hi everyone, I’m running into a frustrating issue and hoping someone here has experienced this or knows how to fix it. When I try to share a specific file from my Dropbox, I get a popup error that completely blocks me. The exact message says: Can't share file We’ve interrupted your sharing activity because your files might…
I'm currently migrating from HelloSign to Dropbox Sign and have encountered error that I did not experience with HelloSign. My main question is: Can a signer be updated with an email address that has already been used by another signer who completed signing on the same signature request? For example, say a signature…
Since August 31, 2026, when logging in after a fresh boot the Dropbox client asks me to connect my account before it can begin syncing. From what I can tell, the client starts normally, but about 20 seconds later it relaunches itself as /opt/dropbox/dropbox /corruptdball, recreates ~/.dropbox/instance_db/hostkeys,…
Un simple clique sur le nuage à côté d'un dossier en début de hiérarchie, peut potentiellement lancer la synchronisation hors ligne de centaines de milliers de fichiers sans que cela soit annulable facilement cas d'erreur. Il parait tout a fait indispensable de mettre un message d'alerte avant que des processus aussi…
As a photographer I use dropbox for storing my photos however they are often uploaded out of order so they are all out of sync. I am starting to consider a different online storage solution however I have been a loyal satisfied dropbox user for over 10 years and would like to continue with what I'm familiar with but this…
We had 300+ event speaker presentation files uploaded for an event; majority not naming the files as requested so we can organize for the presentation rooms. If we had the ability to add a couple more custom fields to the upload page that would RENAME the file accordingly that would have saved us a lot of time and stress.…
It would be great to have a widget providing direct and fast access to the document scan feature.
