How do I remove the Dropbox icon from the Windows 10 file explorer?
Since upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10, there is a Dropbox icon in the Windows file explorer navigation pane.

Does Dropbox take up hard drive space on my computer?
Why does Dropbox store all of its files in my "User" folder on my hard drive? The whole point of using Dropbox was to keep my hard drive free of all the files. I'm now out of disk space due to the Dropbox files.

Deleted folders keep reappearing
I'm hoping someone can help with this problem. I have been using Dropbox for a few years across a number of devices (2 desktop Macs, a laptop, an iPhone and an iPad). This last week, when I try to delete a folder it reappears a moment later. If I move it into another folder, the same thing happens. I have checked and all…
Disable autostart permanently
I installed dropbox for linux on debian 9 (with cinnamon) from the sid repository (there is none for stretch). Because I run it on a notebook and dropbox tends to drain the battery like crazy when it starts scanning files for changes, I don't want dropbox to start automatically. So hence my question: Is there any way to…
Dropbox has two entries in my PC Startup - Why?
Some of my computers have two startup entries for dropbox. If you open Task Manager - Startup, there are two things using PC resources at startup. The first one appears as "Dropbox (3)."

Constant CPU Usage - Windows 10 x64
Hey Guys - Know there are many posts about CPU usage, but after going through a few; didn't see one that was my exact scenario.

Lost Finder Integration in OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)
Hi, since a few days it seems that I have lost the Finder-Integration in OS X 10.11.

On my wifes computer (running…
Why are my PNG backgrounds not transparent when I upload them to Dropbox?

Perpetually "Syncing (3 files remaining)"
I recently upgraded to a new iMac (IS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1) and transferred all my files, programs and settings from the Time Capsule backup from my older Mac. Dropbox seemed to transfer fine, but the sync is perpetually "stuck" with the message "Syncing (3 files remaining)". I have tried unlinking and…

Videos are not playing on the Dropbox site
I have a few videos on my dropbox and now they won't play. They just show that wheel that seems to imply something is "loading," but the videos never play in the end. Is this an issue with my computer? Or Dropbox?

Dropbox icon disappearing from System Tray
The Dropbox Icon regularly disappears from the System Tray. When I've asked about this previously many answered "In Windows 10, you have to right-click on the Taskbar, choose Properties, and then click the Customize button" yet when I right click on the System Tray "Properties" is not one of the options.

Desktop access without syncing.
Hello. I see it mentioned a few times previously, but am wondering if there is any active development on a way to access Dropbox files from the desktop without either syncing or using the web app...basically as a file server. It sounds like this would be a common use case. I need to be able to save/print files from an…
