How do I prevent DropBox Update from booting on Windows (10 Pro) startup? I've tried everything (see screenshots below spoilertag), but it will still boot, and I have to kill it manually every time I reboot my laptop. This is bordering on malware.

how long does it take to sync files to online only vs my hard drive? Approx 247 GB

When checking iPhone storage on my iPhone 7 (IOS 13.1.3), Dropbox usage shows 1.38GB! In my desktop PC (Windows 10) Dropbox folder, as well as on the Dropbox.com web site, all folders and file sizes are properly sync-ed and both agree of a total file size of 198 MB. What can cause this huge discrepancy?

Hello all, I made a small .NET Core app that publishes as an .exe with surrounding files. Its a small client manager that gets database information from a SQLite database (which is already saved in Dropbox) in the project folder. Now, I've been wanting to distribute by app to the rest of my workplace, but I've run into a…

Starting about a month ago, the macOS Dropbox app has started consuming an abnormal amount of memory by way of the ManagedClient process. It'll climb to over 10GB of memory (not disk space) and eventually cause the machine to restart itself. Has anyone else faced this issue? I've verified permissions, uninstalled and…

Since installed MacOS Catalina and Dropbox update - can't open any file directly on Dropbox. Have to open file from the original program (like Word, Excel) - go to Open... then navigate to the Dropbox files - only way it opens. Anybody else experiencing this? I can drop and add files into my Dropbox - but now a hassle to…

When I open dropbox I get this warning message: The application “Dropbox.app” can’t be opened. But then it opens without a problem. How can I get rid of this message? Thanks!

Couldn't start dropbox. This is usually because of a permissions error. Recent Windows 10 update renamed C:/Users/*** to C:/Users/***.000 and created empty C:/Users/***. Dropbox is looking for C:/Users/***/Dropbox which does not exist. Do I need to do an advanced reinstall? Log file extract: cwd: 'C:\\WINDOWS\\system32'…

When I plug my phone into my computer (windows) it automatically starts uploading pictures into dropbox. I don't see anywhere on my computer to access dropbox preferences. I have Win 10 (with a win 7 emulator installed). I don't see a dropbox app/program anywhere.

For some reason my drop box files and folders no longer show the "green tick" when synced. If I right click the system tray icon there are only two options Dropbox or uninstal. I can see no way of accessing the gearwheel lots of the replies to this issue suggest. I have installed the latest versio of the app and running…

When can we expect to enable us to save directly all emails in Dropbox. I understand this possible fort attachements but I am and surely not the only one interested in saving automatically emails in Dropbox. Thanks AjB

I want to know that way through which I can move all data along with all image format files from my one Dropbox account to another account of the same application that is Dropbox.

I use Dropbox on an iPad in landscape orientation. I would like the left panel to expand out so I can see the full file names. Truncated names are very annoying. At least let the name wrap. Seeing ... in the name is so annoying. Google Drive does it, why not you?

Hi Community I am uploading packaged Logic Pro X files to Dropbox. They upload fine and appear online. However, when I download them from Dropbox, they do not download correctly and I cannot open them. Certain folders and files get downloaded but not the actual Logic Project file. It must be something to do with them being…

Hello! I upgraded my mac OS to Catalina, and now my dropbox has gotten stuck into constantly syncing. This has remained in constant sync for 3 days now. * The bottom line of the dropbox menu dropdown says "Syncing 2 files." * But when I go into the directories of my dropbox, EVERY file in every directory has the blue…

I fired my laptop up a couple of days ago and I noticed that the dropbox icon in the taskbar was missing. I checked task manager and dropbox is running theres just no icon and if I kill the task and double click on the dropbox exe it loads the app but does not show the Icon so I am unable to check my settings or anything…

I use Dropbox on my work-issued computer (on which I do not have admin rights), and ever since my employer installed Zscaler, my Dropbox won't sync and I'm getting the message: "can't establish secure internet connection." What can I do?

Hello! I'm having a problem with zipped files from Dropbox. Apparently, it's only affecting folders. In a nut shell, I'm operating on a mac. I upload video files, ranging from 1GB-10GB's in size, for my clients to download. I share hundreds of these videos each year. I was with another service but decided to switch to…

Since I updated and now use SmartSync the "recent files" is no longer showing the most recent files.

Hi There, We need to run Bitnami web stacks but the path contains spaces because of the Dropbox folder name. How do we rename the folders so there aren't spaces? Or if we unsubscribe from Dropbox for business (we've found it kind of painful in practice) will the personal dropbox folder name get renamed to 'Dropbox'…

Any luck? I have a machine that I just updated to 10.13.4 and clicking "Allow" still does nothing for enabling the smart sync extension. EDIT: I was trying to do this via VNC to a mac that did not have a display, keyboard, or mouse attached. Once I attached those items, I was able to click the "Allow" button. Apparently…

Dear Dropbox Community, Over the last weeks, I have noted a strange pattern with Dropbox (Version 82.4.155; Windows 10): On every Windows startup, my Dropbox folder opens automatically in the Windows Explorer. This usually does not happen after standby. My question: I do want Dropbox to start automatically as service upon…

Hello. I recently downloaded dropbox to personal computer and am in the process of syncing files to this local hard drive. However, after linking my account and setting a few folders to not sync via "select sync", the syncing stopped (I now have a full green check on my desktop icon). When I go into my local dropbox folder…

I'm having a maddening problem since yesterday: without anything having changed in my system, my workflow or my files, all of a sudden there's this one file that refuses to sync. When I open the Dropbox app, it starts syncing and says something like "10 seconds left", then the time starts increasing: "50 seconds left", "5…

I was considering switching to a business plan, but for weeks i have been stuck with an MSVCP140.dll error on opening Dropbox. Iøm unable to uninstall or to run the app. I've searched around seeing others have the same problem. I installed the Microsoft Redstributable Packaging - but still no luck. Dropbox keeps givning me…
