How do I stop sending screenshots to Dropbox and instead go to my Macbook Desktop
I recently invited my colleagues to install dropbox, but it is marked as ineligible. it is different email, different pc, and definitely new PC/laptop. I have attached the screenshot as per below [Removed as per Community Guidelines]
The claude dropbox connector allows for a lot of functions between dropbox and claude. Right now, if I want it to edit a file on my dropbox, it has to essentially copy and replace it with a new file. I think that functionality is good for a lot of use cases (creates a repository of the edits), but having the ability to…
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,…
I referred a new user who successfully created a brand-new account on a separate, unique machine. However, the status returned “Ineligible” denying me the bonus space. From my search, I suspect it could be because of an active VPN in the user]s lap top computer. I am requesting for a review of the referral status for this…
Note: This is not about the preview pane that appears when you tap on a file name. It is, however, about the persistent empty preview pane that appears each time you launch the app, regardless of where you are in Dropbox, before you tap on anything. This has made using the app in vertical (portrait) challenging—read:…
I enabled the passcode. My understanding was that Dropbox would protect my private files whenever I left the app and returned to it later. However, in recent viewed photos page, passcode is invalid. I used the adb and knew this page is GroupedPhotoPreviewActivity. I tested other pages, and found another page called…
My Dropbox desktop app on my Mac had not synced since December 2021. After reinstalling it, the local Dropbox folder still lists about 5.800 Camera Uploads files from 2016 to 2021, plus the folders "Photos from iPhoto" and "Af imac fyrir hreinsun" (several thousand files). These were online-only, so the local files are…
Hello, My workflow with images is that I have to have the images on my phone in a real folder for my other app to work with them. Just having them "available offline" is not enough. I would also like to use my own image viewer instead of dropbox. Also with apps like instagram, I want to browse and select images. So maybe…
I've had a Dropbox account for many years, and suddenly in the past few months it logs me out daily and tries to sign me into another unused gmail account. I don't close the tab or the browser, it just goes to sleep. Do I need to cancel the gmail account? What can I do so I don't need to keep signing in? Every time I do,…
Many professionals rely on Finder's Date Modified column to quickly identify active projects. Currently, Dropbox desktop updates or metadata refreshes can cause thousands of folders to receive the same "Date Modified" timestamp, even though the folder contents have not changed. This effectively wipes out one of the most…
If you are in a hurry, the guide to the new AI is a pointless annoyance, as you end up killing and restarting a few times before skipping through to the end as fast as possible. When you have time to read it, the guide as gone. I did use the AI to help compose this message, but don't see it being of much use otherwise.…
We have a lot of Dropbox users, and our team gets email notifications every time anyone creates a folder. This is clogging up the inboxes. We would love an option to turn this off for team members.
I want Dropbox Replay to keep my "Sort by" setting the same after I've set it instead of always switching back to "Recently Added". It's incredibly annoying that Replay changes my "Sort by" setting every time I leave the website then come back to it.
