When viewing a PDF within Dropbox, I am constantly running into the issue where me attempting to scroll or pinch-zoom results in the sideways-swipe action being triggered, which moves to the next PDF in the folder. Please consider reducing the sensitivity of this gesture or removing it entirely. I emailed support and they…
Hi everyone, I'm running macOS 26 Tahoe (26.5.1) with Dropbox 256.4.3790 and I've lost all sync status badges in Finder. Posting here because I've spent time diagnosing this and want to share what I found. The problem: In legacy mode (garcon/FinderSync extension), the badges simply don't appear. After investigating, I…
i cancelled the "trial" I never asked for and NOW can't get support. This is unacceptable - Dropbox support told me I would be fine - see below and now I am completely unable to do anything unless I purchase a yearly upgrade??? FIRST COMMUNICATION: Issue details: I have 2 dropbox accounts. I have [removed] and [removed]…
I un-installed Dropbox on my iPhone and PC to purge all files returning to the free account. Re-installing, my iPhone now shows old shared files between the two. These are still live even though my Dropbox folder on my PC only has two small folders. (The old files were removed to a separate folder and should not even be…
Hello. I’m using Dropbox on macOS 14. Previously, I was on macOS 12 with the same Dropbox settings. In Preferences/Sync/Default Sync Preferences, I selected “Available offline”. For specific folders in my Dropbox folder, I chose "Make online-only". On macOS 12, whenever I dragged a file into one of those online-only…
I have edited MS word documents on my computer using Review/track changes. The files are saved with Review/Markup off. When I upload these files to a dropbox folder (shared), they display a track changes/markup view. When I permanently delete these files and try uploading them again, the markup view again appears. How do I…
Every update gets the installation blocked by Windows 11 pro, up to date. Reference is made to folders such as C:\Program Files (x86)\Dropbox\Client\254.4.2518 but because the version number is in the folder name it cannot be added to any allowed list. How do we stop this block happening?
I've been a Dropbox user for nearly 20 years. I'm writing this after days of troubleshooting, a brand new 24TB external drive I had to buy for $500, and a workflow that is still not fully restored. How it started It began with a routine reorganization — moving files across some large directories. Dropbox simply stopped…
I haven't used the Dropbox app in a while, and I can no longer see how to change which online files are accessible on my desktop. To be clear I don't want all of them on my desktop, just specific files and folders, but I can't find selective sync anymore.
I'd like to request updating the Dropbox Sign window to include an option to edit the Subject of the signature request. Right now it automatically renames the subject with the filename you are going to save the signed copy as. I like to add "SIGNED-" in front of the filename being signed so I can quickly at glance verify…
We commonly use US letter (8 1/2 x 11), Legal (8 1/2 x 14), and Ledger (11 x 17)) sized documents in our everyday operations. Dropbox Sign squishes everything into a letter size document and the file is permanently distorted into letter size, as seen both in downloads and printing. We are being forced to utilize a…
I switched machine the other day and waited for Dropbox to sync a bunch of files, then I started working. But I forgot that rules.dropboxignore was not synced. I had read the doc a while ago, created it with meaningful rules, it was fire-and-forget. I noticed that some files started getting synced like…
In a world full of .git files, AIs running around touching things, and media/storage/blob files that are 100gb each, having a "single auto-fire" sync with no visibility is archaic. Let us SEE our sync Let us STOP our sync completely (not pause) Let us TRUNCATE our sync (if I am stuck on letter "d" in the alphabet, surely…
