I'm struggling with Dropbox and my hard drive. When I open Windows Explorer, on the left window (Navigation Pane), I see: Dropbox, iCloud Drive, iCloud Photos, This PC, and Network. The Dropbox folder contains all files I expected to see there. Now when I open "This PC" and then C:\users\******\Dropbox, that second Dropbox…

TLDR: I don't want Dropbox to sync any of my Macbook files. I just want my original Dropbox folders that I set up years and years ago. Hi there, please be patient with me - I'm a self-professed millenial idiot who barely knows her way around computers, let alone Dropbox. I've been using Dropbox for ages but just basic…

When I searched for this, I found this suggested several months ago for the purpose of Raspberry Pis. That suggestion was closed for inactivity. I had been using Dropbox in my Linux virtual machines on Mac with Intel processors for quite a long time. I just got my first Mac machine with Apple Silicon and was so…

I (the main dropbox admin account) appear to be the only person with the correct right click context menu items in Windows Explorer. I'm told the menu items were there until maybe a week or so ago. If I click on a file outside the dropbox folder I get this: If I click on a file inside the dropbox folder I get this: If a…

Hello, Today on may 29, while trying to move files from windows 11 desktop to dropbox, dropbox crashed my PC so quickly there wasn't even a BSOD. It happened 3x in a row, after which I used task manager to discern the culprit: Dropbox. Every time it booted and made connection the PC would instantly crash within 30 seconds…

Files that aren't synced to my computer, if I right click on it, gives me the 'version history' option. Files that are synced don't give that option. on Mac

Unable to access my files on DropBox! Have had a DB account shared between a work laptop + my personal laptop (both Win 11 + fairly new) for quite some time. Recently retired-Work laptop went away.

I have tried several times to move my DB folder from the C drive to another location. I have followed the instructions carefully but each time some of the files get copied to the new location but only a fraction of them make it. The folder remains in the C drive and it is the one that gets updated. One clue that may help…

Enough is enough. After 10+ same accidents. This happened again - last nail to the Dropbox coffin. I'm the customer since 2011, paid 15 years of subscription and they refuse to fix the essential problem. I'm not risking this again, leaving to MEGA where this problem do not exist. No matter what settings you turn on or off.…

What I am experiencing: Dropbox appears in Finder Some files open normally Some files show 0 bytes and cannot be opened I cannot see options like "available offline" or "online-only" in Finder Selective Sync says "No folders…

I would appreciate advice on this scenario: I am a solo user. I have Dropbox synced across several computers: a desktop and a laptop that are in my possession, and another desktop at a family house that has been shut down for months. Now someone else needs to use that machine; I will not be present. If sync is initiated on…

Dropbox is trying to install over my existing installation "Couldn't rename Dropbox to make room for your Dropbox folder". I just want to get rid of it but it's only try Again, or Choose another location. I just want to stop the install but cannot figure out how to quit

I would like to request clarification regarding your intention to discontinue the Dropbox Desktop App for the Windows Server 2012 R2 operating system. At this time, we are inclined to maintain it at least until the end of 2026, given that Microsoft has extended the security updates maintenance date to October 13, 2026, as…

Our company has many machines across platforms linked to one archive. We often send links to one another via Teams. By default the links open on the web. We want to be able to send links that open the local file's location and not the file itself. For example, you can make a link, post it and then click the "open on…

The Linux desktop app is incredibly lacklustre compared to its Windows and Mac counterparts. With more and more people dropping Windows in favour of Linux, this needs addressing. Notably, it's missing Online-Only sync options. The app also looks super outdated, especially on GNOME desktop environments.

* Summary: After taking a screenshot on Windows with the Dropbox desktop app, I almost always need to move it to the right Dropbox folder. * Current behavior: The quick-actions popup doesn’t include an option to open the screenshot’s folder, or to save it to a different folder, so I have to manually find it in the…

how do i FIND a MOVED directory??. tried searching in Dropbox, but the activity log is useless as i access hundreds of files each day, so it's like looking in a haystack

I recently discovered that many, if not most, files in one particular folder are showing a file size of zero bytes, and opening them shows no content. It seems quite random as to which files are affected. The date created seems to make no difference. Hundreds of files are affected. It makes no difference whether I access…

Fixed an issue where some team users could get stuck in a paused state after a sync…

Hi, We have been working with a lot of image-sequence-based files recently. When it came to the point when we had to rename about 60.000 files at once, we faced the following problem: In Finder of MacOs (Tahoe) it is easy to bulk rename multiple files at once using the "search & replace" option. But when we do so, the sync…

Select which options appear in the context menu (When you Right Click) This suggestion appears to be one relatively sought after as there are multiple 'help threads' with people trying to do this, and no shortage of information for people to do it through unsupported and unofficial means. The reason I suggest allowing…

Sync Next is for when there are multiple files syncing but one or more of which are needed sooner by the user. The best place to select which ones should synch next are by right-clicking those files themselves. Moving the option into the right-click menu make it easy for the user to select exactly which files are important…
