Hi! I rebuilt one of my servers and installed Dropbox pointed it to the D: drive. I forgot I already had an old Dropbox data folder there. I was reading Reddit and it occurred to me that my hard drive was chugging quite a bit. Opened Resource Monitor and saw Dropbox was at the top of the heap. So I opened Dropbox; 22,5xx…

When I logged into my account today, all of my files and folders were missing. I only have one account, and I can see it was created in 2016. I only use the online version, and I last logged in within the past 60 days. Can you help me find out what happened and whether my files can be recovered?
I just created a folder and added three people to share it. Will they be able to add items or edit without having their own Dropbox accounts?

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…
I am not happy with the recent change in the Dropbox mobile app that displays modification dates beneath file and folder names. It suddenly appeared today with no notice or explanation, and it does not appear to arise from an app update. This additional information clutters the interface, wastes valuable screen space, and…
Having trouble permanently deleting files from dropbox to save space. Most files I delete do not even show up in the “deleted files” on the dropbox.com site and ones that do, when I hit permanently delete tab, it is deleted but with message that “the file is lost forever but this does not free up storage space”.– the…
Jag har försökt åtskilliga ggr. att uppdatera Dropbox för att kunna använda den, men inte lyckas. Den vill bara att jag skall uppdatera en gång till.
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…
