Multiple Dropbox accounts: rename the Dropbox folder
I have a private and a business Dropboxaccount linked to each other, since this I have %USERPROFILE%\Dropbox (Privat)\ %USERPROFILE%\Dropbox (MIT)\ if you only have one account it is simply %USERPROFILE%\Dropbox\ as you can imagine spaces in folder-names breaks many things and makes terminal-usage inconvenient. Therefore I…
Status icons change - shows 'grey cloud icon', while it should be a 'green transparent check' icon
Subject: Status icon bug Whenever all files are made offline available, it should display a 'full green V check icon'. this is not always the case. I'm not too bothered with it though because if the link can be copied, i'm ok. But here is the thing, whenever a file is offline (full green V check) available amongst online…

"You can't copy the item because its name is too" when copying a folder on my Mac.
Hi, I have a Dropbox account with 2TB of which 6% is full right now. I am trying to copy a folder that only has a couple of GBs and I am getting this error message. What is wrong with the filename "IMG_4474.JPG"? I have copied folders with these type of filenames before and it worked perfectly. I am on a Macbook Pro with…
Camera Uploads not syncing in background when DB APP is off
My photos don't continue to sync in the background with my computer when the App is off on my phone. My understanding is that it is supposed to continue syncing while I am doing other things - it doesn't. Can anyone tell me why? I have triple checked the settings, but I could be missing something. Thanks, Dennis
Move my Dropbox folder from C to D drive
I need to organise the root Dropbox folder, move it from C drive to D drive (as C drive runs windows and it's running out of space). Can I just cut and paste the root dropbox folder from C to D or are there setup preferances that I would need to create/update so that the cloud sync would then match the root folder's new…

My iPod is trying to sync to Dropbox and I paused sync, but it's stuck
For some reason Dropbox is trying to sync with my iPod when I connected it to my Windows computer. I wanted to stop it, pressed pause but it doesn't seem to have paused at all: it just says 'pausing' over an hour later. My computer won't let me disconnect the iPod as it is still connecting. How can I either stop the pause…

Dropbox on two computers; one of them is not syncing
I have Dropbox on my home and work computer so I can work on files in either place. I recently returned to my office after working from home for 2 years. My Dropbox folders in my office are not synced with those at home/online, even though the folders have the green check mark on the icon in File Explorer. Dropbox in my…
Dropbox transfer is not showing in menu
The option to create a transfer has disappeared both on my desktop and on dropbox online. I confirm that I do not have syncing issues, app is running on my computer and "early release" under setting is "off". The "create transfer" option comes and goes, it is incredibly frustrating.

The Dropbox Badge icon has been stuck in the center of my screen.
The dropbox icon (blue circle white center) has suddenly appeared in the center of my screen. It doesn't interfere with anything else I'm doing, but I cannot remove it. The dropbox icon on my desktop is working fine. How do I remove it???
iMac - Stop Using Dropbox
Hi All, I'm at my wits end trying to get my files back off DropBox and onto my computer. Clearly I've accidentally allowed DB to 'sync' my stuff. Now, despite it not being true, DP says my account is full and I must pay to continue. I don't need a paid service and want to get back to a pre-DB status. I've read 10's of…
Linux symlinks pointing outside of Dropbox folder -- can I keep them without syncing their targets?
I've noticed that my Dropbox icon is constantly syncing, which led me to this forum to investigate. I have a feeling it's related to how I'm using symlinks in my Dropbox folder, though I haven't found a question here that quite fits my needs. What I have is a directory like Dropbox/projects, and this only contains symlinks…

Cannot change settings in Dropbox for Linux (Fedora 36)
It's very frustrating to pay the full price of Dropbox every year and get less than sub-par support for the Linux community. I am using Fedora 36, GNOME 42 and Dropbox seems to run OK. However, I had to enable "legacy icon support", etc. to get the icon to appear in my top bar. However, the icon does nothing. When I click…

Dropbox shows that my files take up more space than they actually do on the desktop.
I align Dropbox with the computer. I see in the Dropbox folder two folders with dimensions 550 mega and 1 giga respectively. The Dropbox folder instead shows a size of 2.3 GB! What could be the problem?
