Dropbox file format...work with legacy versions or not?
I haven't installed the latest version of Dropbox because I can't get a proper answer on whether if I do so the new format will not sync with older formats on old computers.

Is there a Dropbox Transfer desktop app?
I recently switched from we********😶 to Dropbox Transfer. So far I'm very happy. The only feature I'm desperately missing is a desktop app for Transfer. Is there an app available (like we********😶 has) where I can simply drag and drop any files for my clients? It's a bit inconvenient to always log in via browser. Thank you!

Dropbox app doesn't startup well with Windscribe VPN Firewall
I use the Windscribe VPN Firewall ON ALL THE TIME mode on my Windows 10 desktop. I have to do a "delayed Dropbox startup" because the dropbox systray icon will go "gray" if it starts too fast. I'm guessing that there's a conflict with Windscribe. Even with the delay, sometimes, the icon will still "go gray" and never…

Open in Photoshop for PSD files that are online only and enable Open in Photoshop for .JPG files
I use Smart Sync to save space on my laptop. It seems counter inuitive if you have to have the PSD files already downloaded to the hard drive to use the Open in Photoshop option in Dropbox.com. Why can't Dropbox download that particular file only when it's needed? The Open in Photoshop option does not exist in Dropbox.com…
