@"PVRnyc" wrote: I think they used to upload but now I don’t know where/how to find them on Dropbox. All photos and videos that are uploaded using Camera Uploads are uploaded to the Camera Uploads folder. By default, Dropbox uploads items from your Camera Roll. You can select other albums to upload in Camera Uploads…

@SpacBogdan97 wrote: Any ideas on how my files were deleted, or any suggestion on how to recover them would be appreciated. Thanks! Dropbox doesn't delete your files like that. If your account was idle for more than a year, the entire account would be deleted due to inactivity, but it wouldn't delete just a subset of files…

@"Michael L.80" wrote:hmm my Preferences doesn't look like yours and it doesn't have that option. Here is what I see: I'm on Windows so it looks a bit different, but the same option is right there in your screenshot. Just change it to Dropbox desktop app.

@"Michael L.80" wrote:When I run the Dropbox application on Mojave or Cataline Mac OS, instead of the application, it just opens a new Finder window. I want the application back - how do I run it? Go into Dropbox Preferences and make sure it's set to open folders in the app, and not Finder.

@"barrymcw" wrote:If I have an external HD, can I sync it as a "second location" of my Dropbox folder. I want it to be identical to my current Dropbox folder, but with different Smart Sync settings. That's not possible. Dropbox will only sync to a single Dropbox folder. You can move the folder to another location (external…

@"simmsg" wrote:I just started backing up a new computer. The previous two show up in Dropbox as My PC (PC Name) but this third one shows up as PC (3). That is how the folders are now named. The first one will be named PC. Subsequent folders will be named PC (2), PC (3), etc. It was a change that was implemented to…

@"Wilewood" wrote:I'm having the same issue - no option to delete under the elipsis, right clicking, nothing. Please post a screenshot showing the issue. Be sure to mask any private or personal information.

@"filesentandreceive" wrote:I am unable to copy multiple file names as text. I need to export file names from Dropbox. Dropbox has no such feature.

@"Jennifer G.29" wrote:Now the file transfer is done. I've disconnected and reconnected, restarted, renamed the drive on another computer, and I can't get that popup again. Check the drive for hidden files. I can't comment on the drive backup function, but when you use Camera Uploads, Dropbox drops a hidden file on the…

@"Nova Integrated Systems" wrote:... with these images dropbox thinks they are getting deleted and a new file is being uploaded with each new update. So the link degrades when the image is being updated. This will happen when the process that is saving the files is first deleting the original before saving the new version,…

@"cmarnie" wrote:Se abre el enlace a Microsoft Office Integration, indicando que “desea acceso a los archivos y carpetas de Dropbox”, pero al accionar Permitir, sale mensaje de “No se puede completar la tarea. Office ha encontrado un problema”. * https://status.dropbox.com/incidents/vq3d0sjf59d7

@"Jonassis" wrote:the problem is, my version of the client does not offer the option to "Toggle Dropbox system extension to off." The problem you're having is that the setting you're looking for is not part of the Dropbox client. As the article you linked mentioned, that setting is in your Account settings on the Dropbox…

@"JM582" wrote:Now I don't want the other folders/files on that computer so I'm thinking I need to delete ALL the other folders that got downloaded locally. NO! NO! NO! Doing that would delete them from Dropbox which would sync those deletions to your account. When you uncheck a folder in Selective Sync, Dropbox will…

@"plshalp" wrote:The dropbox app is working because it is giving me the option to send with transfer, but it isn't giving me the option to Copy Dropbox Link. Where is the file located? The Copy Dropbox link option is only available when you right-click on a file or folder located within your Dropbox folder. Clicking on…

@"dmpus" wrote:I searched in both phone internal folder structure as well as sdcard and could not find dropbox anywhere. If you're trying to access the files through your phone's file manager/directly in the operating system, that's no longer possible. A change made about a year ago now has the files stored in a location…

@"JH84" wrote:No videos have been uploaded from my Netatmo Presence since 17th July 2021. You'll need to reach out to Netatmo for support with their products. Dropbox cannot provide support for third-party applications or products.

@"rlubell" wrote:I enter my email and password. I choose sign in. I get the login screen again empty. The app does nothing. Thoughts? Something on your computer or network could be blocking Dropbox. Disable any antivirus or firewall you may be running and try again.

@"Hcubed" wrote: You can’t. Apparently, Dropbox is either unable or unwilling to allow a user to stop the automatic sync of the PC. And if you decide to close your account, remember that they are holding your files hostage. None of that is accurate.

@"phreaddy2020" wrote:How do I sign out of Dropbox on my PC? The instructions from Dropbox say: Those are instructions for deleting your account; not signing out of Dropbox. Open the Dropbox app on your computer and go to Preferences. On the Account tab you'll see an option to sign out of your account.

@"BillGeo" wrote:How would one efficiently contact Microsoft? That's not really something we can help with here as this is a site for Dropbox support; not OneDrive. You'll probably want to start on Microsoft's own website and see what support options are available.

What version of the Dropbox app are you running? If the middle digit is a 3, as in 127.3.4263, then you're on a beta release. Once you install…

@"chuckleamon" wrote:Why would I want to backup my backups? Stupid idea. Not everyone uses their external drives for backups. Many use them as their primary storage, and having backups of those drives is actually very smart. I have checked "Don't ask again", and clicked "Not Now", BUT every time I connect a different…

@"pellegrinogrigio" wrote:Is there a way to turn this annoying unrequested feature off once and for all? Turn off camera uploads. If you're on Windows, that's done in the Autoplay settings of your OS; not Dropbox.

@"chicago pixel pusher" wrote:Maybe I'm confused, but I disagree. If you select the sync online option only you save the local hard drive space. Even if you set a folder to Online-only, when you save a file to that folder it is still saved to the local hard drive, marked as a Local file, and synced to your account. You…

@"usrx" wrote:I found a hidden file called .dropbox.device on a disk partition of one of my internal hard drives. Can someone please demystify this file for me?
