Hi, I can no longer connect the Dropbox connector for Claude (connector URL: https://mcp.dropbox.com/claude_app_mcp). Timeline (13 Nov 2026, CET / UTC+1): ~15:30 – the connector was working, then started failing mid-session with connection errors (HTTP 502). Claude could no longer read my files. 15:35–15:40 – I…
I'm running version 279.4.5723 on a MacBook Pro 15" 2014, on macOS 15.7, on OCLP 2.4.1 If I shut down Dropbox and restart it, then the syncing continues, but I shouldn't have to keep doing that, right? Can you please fix it? Thank you. This is what I see:
Hi everyone. After submitting all of the rightful and necessary documentation, how long does it take to hear back if it can be done? Also, is the information sent over possible to be erased after? Some details were sensitive. My sibling passed and I’m just thinking of the best line of action as it is her son’s 10th…
So, it has been almost 2 years since I moved on from Dropbox. I switched to another app that I now use for syncing my photos from phone to desktop. I've always been using the FREE version of Dropbox but I outgrew it. At the time I switched, I didn't delete my Free Dropbox account, I simply just paused the syncing of files…
After establishing an account and some files via WebUI, I installed Dropbox on my WIN 10 PC, but after "success" my folder stays 'syncing', the desktop app reads 'starting' but nothing happens. After a while the desktop app disappears and will never show up again, folder shows 'syncing'. This is unchanged after uninstall…
Thanks for using Dropbox! The desktop client is regularly updated with many improvements and fixes.

I use Claude with my Dropbox account, and I'd love for the Dropbox connection to let Claude upload files like PDFs and save files from a web link. Right now it can only create plain text files, so when Claude finds something like an owner's manual for me, it can't put it in my folders without a workaround. Adding file…
As of October 3, 2026, Dropbox’s Ubuntu resolute repository causes apt update to exit with code 100: File has unexpected size (1192 != 1203). Mirror sync in progress? Direct downloads, independently of APT, show inconsistent repository files: InRelease is dated September 29, 2026, and expects AMD64 Packages.bz2 to contain…
For many months now, I have been getting the "Couldn't Complete Share" message without any explanation. I have not received any email messages from Dropbox in regard to this. I have checked all of the possible causes and cannot find any reason for my sharing to be blocked. I believe this to be a false positive but I only…
Hi, Our web app runs on Cloudflare Workers. It reads and writes files in users' Dropbox through the HTTP API: files/download and files/upload on content.dropboxapi.com, and files/get_metadata on api.dropboxapi.com. Almost all of our users are in Japan. On 2026-10-13, between 15:00 and 20:00 UTC, every request became slower…
I would really like to see some key features added to the camera uploads folder. For example, having separators by the year when photos were taken or the ability to filter by location (if available) would be very helpful. Also, a tab for albums would be a nice addition. I'm trying to shift away from using Google Photos for…
It's a hassle to turn on "Allow Downloads" every time and triple-check it before sending files over. I think most people would benefit from this being the default setting. We can always disable downloading for times when we need it.
Right now the pieces of a single project live in different corners of Dropbox: the parent folder holds the assets, comments sit on individual files, and file requests are managed from a completely separate section. There's no single view that shows the state of one project. The idea: a "Project" container that lets you…
I switched machine the other day and waited for Dropbox to sync a bunch of files, then I started working. But I forgot that rules.dropboxignore was not synced. I had read the doc a while ago, created it with meaningful rules, it was fire-and-forget. I noticed that some files started getting synced like…
As a marketing agency/media company, our team does a high volume of link sharing with clients. For security purposes, we set links to expire at the maximum 1 year interval allowable on Dropbox. Is there a way that the link creator can receive a simple reminder when a link is about to expire so they can send a replacement…
