@"kioskfeddan" wrote:so what you're saying is I'm supposed to be able to upload any file type? Just about, yes. There are some files that won't sync but they're mostly system files like thumbs.db, desktop.ini, .ds_store and shortcuts, to name a few. Otherwise, Dropbox will sync any file. *…

@"pb1234" wrote:These are all files that were stored on my mac previously but it seems like dropbox has moved them off my mac. Is there any way to fix this? Select some or all of the files and mark them as Available Offline again. This happened as part of the Mac update and the forced relocation of the Dropbox folder into…

@"KimmeL" wrote:There actually is no sync status anymore. And it's also not appearing anymore in my taskbar. If you don't see the Dropbox icon in your system tray then that would mean that Dropbox isn't running, which is why your files aren't syncing. You may just need to launch Dropbox from your Start Menu and give it…

@"lldb" wrote:We used to be able to scan a file and have it emailed directly into a DB folder. We are no longer able to do so, can anyone assist with setting this up? While Dropbox does have an option to receive files via email, the scanning function you mentioned isn't a Dropbox feature. If this was something you were…

@"Harry Molyneux" wrote: It’s not really their own unique copy, it’s the exact same folder. No, it's a unique copy for each user. You can even rename and move the shared folder elsewhere in your account, and it won't affect the other members while still syncing with their copies of the folder. Sure, there's Dropbox's…

@"Harry Molyneux" wrote:If that's the case why does every member with access to that folder need to pay for it's storage separately? Because every member has their own COPY of the folder in their own account which syncs back to all the other members, and anything in your account takes up space. You're not accessing a…

@"RickLM" wrote:How do I organize my files by type (for example, all ".doc" files first, then all ".pdf" files, etc.)? Just sort your files by Type.

@"nicwg" wrote:I think the answer appears to be don't upgrade on your newer computer or I'll lose the sync. That's not what the article states. If you update the newer computer, both of your computers will still sync. Nothing changes in that regard. My old computer can't be upgraded. It seemed a simple question: will I no…
