Please can file names update to reflect the new file added to the version stack, manually having to update the file name is time consuming and open to errors. Please replicate what frame.io do - it's so much more logical

Every time I open my computer, I get a warning saying I am over my storage limit. It says I am 3x over my storage limit, but when I follow the prompt to delete files, there are no files remaining in my Dropbox. In addition to that, I cannot delete dropbox so I stop getting this warning— It keeps saying it is open, but it…

In explorer integration, dropbox places all the actions at the top-level menu. For those of us who have a large menu already, this is an unnecessary clutter. It would be great to have a single menu item for all dropbos actions, so that the actions will open in a sub-menu.

Dropbox has created a copy of my main work folder and named it "… conflicted copy". No mention of what machine caused the conflict, and no indication of the conflicting file(s). The work folder is 4.67GB and 7,749 items. The copy is 971 kB and 1,303 items. On requesting help to identify the conflicting files, support told…

My goal is to share a PDF report that is still being updated. To keep things simple, I overwrite the file with the same name in the same folder each time I make changes. My Dropbox folder is synced locally on Linux (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS). After editing the report in my working directory, I copy (with Ctrl+C command) the…

Summary "Unlink this Dropbox" / sign-out in the desktop client does not revoke the corresponding cloud-side device session. Each subsequent re-link creates a new entry in dropbox.com/account/security while previous ones remain. With N phantom sessions, the cloud fans out change notifications and content fetches N× to the…

am experiencing an issue when copying files from my Dropbox folder to WhatsApp Desktop on my Mac. Normally, when I copy and paste a file, the original file should remain in the Dropbox folder. However, in my case, the file is being completely removed from Dropbox after I copy or drag it into WhatsApp. It behaves like a…

I have not been able to get this solved but heard there might be an update for it. Anyone using Mac for work like I am? Device (MacBook Pro M4) Operating System/Browser (if using the web) (Tahoe 26) Dropbox App Version/Browser Version (240.4.8493)

Hi - Ive been accessing my dropbox in both C1 and Bridge via my menu's for both applications but now it's disappeared, any ideas how to get it back in my menus? Everything is synced and set to offline Thanks

I'm trying to work out how to determine the storage consumption of offline files among files that are on-line only. Over time I will hide directories to conserve local storage but also selectively sync files and directories that I want to maintain locally among files and folders that are online only. It's this latter case…

Hi, Using Dropbox v177.4.5399 on Windows 11 Home V22H2 now and loving it, this app works great! I had a question about the context menu options though When I right-click on a folder I see "Send with Dropbox Transfer" listed as a context menu option, which I don't use. Is this possible to remove?

I have a large file in my dropbox which I have been trying to sync to a new mac desktop. If I uninstall and reinstall the dropbox application, and then ask it to sync it would start downloading. But once the sync gets interrupted, by the mac going to sleep or anything else, it refuses to continue. In apple finder, the file…

Hi - I've been trying for the last couple of days to open a file in dropbox on my iMac. It’s a file I access al the time and was working fine before I went away on vacation last week. While away I accessed the file on my iPad but now that I’ve returned I can’t open it on my computer anymore. I’ve downloaded it and renamed…

Right now it's a huge flaw you cannot cancel the 'make available offline' download mid-process. Especially since it's so easy to accidentally click the 'cloud' icons on MacOS and suddenly have a whole folder of files downloading. I work in post-production and regularly have folders containing hundreds of gigabytes worth of…

Hi everyone — iMac M1, Dropbox sync works but Finder integration is gone. I first saw this on macOS Sequoia 15.5 and I’ve since updated to macOS Tahoe 26.1 with no change. Online-only files in my Dropbox folder show as 0 KB and download/open fine on double-click, but there are no Dropbox right-click options in Finder (no…

Since the 4/30/26 update, Dropbox hasn't loaded on startup. Manual start of the app shows the icon in the taskbar for a few seconds, then disappears, app shut off.

I received a fax with the body on page 3, but page 3 was cut short above the header. Is this a dropbox fax side problem, or does this require the sender to try again? If support is required, how can I receive support for this issue? Thanks!

I have just set up a new Windows laptop. My identity is not the same email address as my Dropbox account. I need to know how to set up Dropbox in my correct email. My Dropbox folder in File Manager shows no files because it’s the wrong email address. please help!

I come again with to ask for an option to remove Dropbox entries from Window's context menu. The reason is I am visually impaired and I must use tools to have greater fonts showed in my screen. I must use also the magnifying glass and other availability resources. Then the 7 (seven!) context menu options that Dropbox has…

Longtime user, first time caller. I got a new computer a couple of weeks ago and I've noticed when I try to save audio files (I'm a radio producer) it gives me error messages if Dropbox is syncing the previous file I saved. This was never an issue before (and still isn't) on my old computer. I'm used to rapidly cutting and…

Hi, recently Dropbox has started cramming my Explorer context menu with all of these options I mostly don't plan to use: Come on. Do you think it's ok to just dump all your stuff in there? If every app on my PC would do the same, would I have to manage dozens of entries on that menu? This is terrible UI design, it's bloat,…

I restarte the DB app. Only the Camera…

Windows 11 Surface Pro 7 Yesterday I created some PDF documents from some Grok/Mistral data from summarizing some Uni readings.

Hi everyone, I’m facing a persistent issue with my Dropbox desktop client on Windows. The app is stuck at "Indexing 749 files" and has not made any progress for over 36 hours. I have already tried a series of deep troubleshooting steps guided by Gemini (AI), but nothing seems to resolve the hang. Here is a list of what I…

The thumbnails for the dropbox folder on my Windows 11 are not showing up. This issue is making it difficult for me to work since I need the thumbnails to choose photos for my projects. In all the other files on my laptop the thumbnails are showing up no issues. I have reinstalled the Dropbox app on my computer along with…
