I read through the list of questions/answers. I use DB for genealogy for tons of people - share their folders when time comes, etc. What becomes of all those files if I delete the app? Files/folders still on the website, I presume, that if I go through the update process, they will drop into the new app? Can't risk losing…
My document refuses to stay in editing mode. I can still click the button to edit but it's always in 'view only' when I open it. On mobile, I can only edit the duplicate. The button to change it from 'view only' under File says it's to prevent accidental changes. What do I do? Did I make a mistake when I made the document…
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…
Hello. I have followed instructions to find the "FIND DUPLICATES" command because you are about to delete my photos. That command does not appear when I click on Settings in my Photos. If the command is not there, how do I search for duplicates???? I need help FAST!
Update: This feature is now live and available to all individual plan customers! Thank you to all our testers, and share your feedback with the team, we're still eager to hear from you! For years you’ve asked for a simple way to exclude files and folders from sync without using selective sync feature. We’re testing a new…
I have a folder that won't disappear no matter how many times I delete it. It pops back in for me, and for other users. This has happened before when someone on a Mac put a funny character in the filename, so the file wouldn't sync on my PC. However, that's not the case here. There are two empty folders in another folder,…
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…
I've recently had a lot of trouble with PDFs that are visible in iPhone app and on the website but are not viewable in Windows 11 File Explorer (just get Microsoft Edge home page or a file-not-found error). I've done an inordinate amount of research and troubleshooting. While there is no apparent syncing, security setting,…

There needs to be a way that senders can update the signer after a document has been issued for signature without canceling the entire request. A company's staffing change can cause hours of work to resend documents to new contacts. This is especially tedious if a document doesn't fall within the parameters of a template…
I freelance and have multiple clients with their own Dropbox accounts. After using Dropbox since 2014 I can quite honestly say the worst feature of Dropbox is that Shared Storage counts towards my limits: https://help.dropbox.com/storage-space/storage-space A few times, clients share their folders with me so I can pull…
Facial recognition would be a useful tool in Dropbox. My Dad recently died and I had to quickly find photos of him for the funeral. I used Google Photos for this which has a photo recognition function but I have more photos in Dropbox so would have liked to have been able to search through my Dropbox files too.
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…
