Is Dropbox down? I am getting a blank screen.

I have two (admin) user accounts set up on my mac (High Sierra 10.14.2) and i'd like to share the dropbox folder amongst them (as it obviously doesn't make sense to have duplicate files on my HD). When placing Dropbox in the shared folder and setting up permissions correctly, i am having weird issues – the Dropbox folder…

I am on a Mac, my Admin has set for files to be "online only". However when I go into a folder which is set as online only and use a file, the file is downloaded which is fine, I use the file and then I save it, but for some reason the file remains on my PC and does not revert to "online Only". This is useless to me as we…

Hello. I have used a synced Dropbox folder for years on my Windows 7 computer. Today, when moving files on my desktop, I accidentally synced my Desktop to Dropbox. I'm not even sure how it happened.

I'm a bit desperate for a solution, I've been talking to Dropbox support and even escalated my problem to tech (who haven't been very helpful with long pauses in communication I can't get help promptly. I had to provoke another support ticket in order for them to respond again) Everytime I startup my computer, I get an…

I want to move my Dropbox folder from "C" SSD drive which is out of room to my "D" drive. Followed the directions and was able to get it over to the "D" drive but the "C" folder still exists. So it looks like it copied? How do I delete the "C" Dropbox version?

Then when I try to open the pdf as a pdf it's 'corrupted', as the previous posters have found. I do have a workaround, I can open and use the…

Although it…
