Dropbox keeps saying, Downloading 67 files...
Hi, There's a similar topic, but nothing there works for me. Holding Space doesn't reveal any hidden buttons. I had files owned by root, but I changed the owner to my user (uid 1000) on the "source" laptop, and the problem persists (my uid on both laptops is 1000). There are not many files with spaces, and those that have…
Dropbox "folder" on computer, how does it work?
Not sure about the category. I have files in many folders on my computer. I want to use Dropbox as a Cloud, for storage only, occasionally for sending a video file to someone (which I've done).

Update the Dropbox Linux client to have similar features as Windows, MacOS
Why is there no updated Linux client for so long? The software doesn't offer online only options - I have an iMac and a Windows PC which can have adequate storage and can store online only, yet the Linux client has not had an update in a number of years. Is there a reason somewhere, as a paying client it would be really…

Hi I have been using Dropbox and Lightroom together for years. In recent weeks and when I delete files from Lightroom they don't go to the Bin. They go to a file named "CloudStorage/Dropbox/.Trash".

How do I stop the desktop app?
I want to close Dropbox. Just stopping the sync does not solve my problem. And I don't want to uninstall it. Do I have to close it via End Task in Task Manager?
Moving drop box folder from C to D drive can affect my colleagues PC syncing with the same account?
In our office, we are using an exact account of Dropbox for the sales team and they are syncing all the data automatically. One of the colleague's PC drive C got full. So if I move the syncing location just for his PC, will it affect the location, and syncing for either colleague's PC?
Syncing is stuck on my Linux devices, what can I do?
It seems I have the same problem as mentioned in above posts. I am running Dropbox on a pc and laptop, both having Linux-Lubuntu as the os. After a "one time update" on both systems, Dropbox is stuck indexing/uploading/downloading a small number of files. In addition, I noticed that when I rename a file on my hard disk,…
