When I try to preview a .html file on the Dropbox web site, especially from the versions page, it tries to format the file as HTML. But that's a problem. What I see is useless. I need to see the RAW Text of the file. How can I do this without using a very clumsy work-around? I am a developer working on software. As would…
My M2 MacBk Air, running Sequoia 15.7.7 had been running around 700 GB disc usage on its 1 TB HD. Recently is suddenly started giving me "Disc almost full" warnings. It's at 895 GB of 995 available and my "System Data" is a colossal 675 GB! (should be around 50 GB normally). After some hard searching, I found at:…
I'm using Dropbox on a MBP (26.2) and have started having hard drive space issues. In trying to troubleshoot I come across the CloudStorage folder in the Library folder which appears to be occupying almost the same amount of space as my Dropbox folder which is currently in my User Folder. How does the CloudStorage folder…
Hi, There is issue with version 256.4.3790. According to Windows Installer requirements, the product version used in the MSI (and consequently in the Upgrade table VersionMin / VersionMax) must conform to the following limits: major ≤ 255 minor ≤ 255 build ≤ 65535 Because of this constraint, version values where the major…
Why don't I have permission to update my username? Where can I do it?
I tried migrating to the cloudstorage mac folder years ago and it was very problematic, so I ended up just putting my dropbox backup folder into my mac Home folder and continuing to do it the old way (it appeared to sync fine while there). Something happened recently where it seems my mac suddenly lost tons of gigs of…
Every time I add a new file to a folder that has already been made "available offline," there is a cloud icon indicating that the folder is not fully available offline. Assuming this means the new file is not fully in sync. Is there a way for a new file to be automatically available offline when it's put into a folder that…
I have a new Mac and am trying to retrieve my Documents folder from my old Mac in Dropbox backups. It does not appear in the Dropbox app on my new Mac but i can see it on my old Mac. How do I get these across to the new computer?
After a Windows update yesterday the Dropbox icon on the left sidebar in File Explorer has lost its drop-down menu and is no longer navigable. Clicking on it does nothing, either. It's now much more difficult to access my Dropbox files, I have to go to my User folder, from there to my Dropbox folder and so on. This…
Hi and thank you for reading. On my iPhone home screen, there is a section called Viewed Links which has two line items. I would like to delete one of those line items so I never see it again. I don't care about the original. I can't swipe left and when I click, it opens. There doesn't seem to be a Delete option. If I have…
To have the ability to either delete individually or clear list of viewed links. Currently have links containing sensitive information received from others that i can't clear or alternatively, lots of dead links
It would be very useful to have a feature that allows users to search for all folders shared with a specific person. Many Dropbox users (like myself) have hundreds of shared folders with dozens of collaborators. Currently, if I want to find all folders that a particular user has access to, there appears to be no way to do…
It would be very helpful to have an option to delay automatic camera uploads. Right now, photos are uploaded immediately, which means I often have to delete unwanted photos twice – first on my phone and then again in Dropbox. A delay (or temporary queue/“review before upload” option) would make it much easier to sort and…
Many companies prohibit employees from generating their own Dropbox account, which is needed to comment on the files. So I'd love to have a way for people to put their email and just add comments.
I have been a user for well over a decade. I could not find a place to post bugs… Memory leak:
