This has been an issue for a while now. It's an issue on both my Windows 10 devices. I have tried different solutions from this forum, without luck.

I feel that something simple is doing my head in. Sorry in advance for what is probably a dumb question. I've just migrated my system to a new Mac Mini. So far, so good. All documents in the DB folder are there and working. Now, I want to save HDD space so all documents, shared folders, the whole thing, I want to be…

I am using "superduper" for years to make a 1:1 backup of my macbookpro's SSD. It's in addition to TimeMachine and allows me to work (nearly) without interruption if the computer or it's drive fails. Since I enabled Dropbox smart-sync on my dropbox business account, it looks like that superduper is also trying to backup…

I just purchased a new computer with Windows 10 Pro. For some reason when opening any Microsoft Office product from the dropbox folder, the file explorer locks up and doesn't respond.

Probably this is small…
