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.

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.

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…

I've been a user and paid subscriber to Dropbox for about a decade. I use Drobox for sharing my files across multiple devices and occasionally for sharing files with other people who don't always have Dropbox accounts. I don't work as part of an organisation so I don't use any of the team or business related features. I…
