How can I sync a folder via terminal in Linux? I had installed Dropbox to that machine, but only synced one folder and now I need to work remotely from my Mac. I don't have 'physical access' anymore, so I need to activate and sync a second folder remotely. There is no option to open an interface (e.g. open nautilus via…

Two days ago, when I booted up my computer, all my Dropbox files and folders were underscored. Dropbox support advise that this is because one or more of my files contain an incompatible character in their name or path. I therefore use the following link https://www.dropbox.com/bad_files_check I ran the files check and…

Because my haddrive lacked space, I set up Dropbox to sync to an external drive connected to my MacBookAir. However, whilst travelling I disconnect the portable (external) drive and when reconnecting Dropbox fails to find the path back to the Dropbox folder on the external drive. I have tried to change the path in the…

To get around the recent glibc version requirement on a Red Hat Enterprise 7 system, I'm running the Dropbox client in a Docker container with the Dropbox and .dropbox folders mounted externally on an Ext4 filesystem on the RHEL7 host. That's working fine currently. Today I received an email from Dropbox informing me that…

Hi Dropbox helpers, It is almost weekend but I still need some help with this syncing duplicating problem on my Mac. I already read through all the open topics and checked Apple doubles etc but I think it has more to do with a simple wrong button or preference that I clicked... So I just started working at a new company…

Hi, I'm running Dropbox on Windows 10 and everything is basically working fine. Some time ago I noticed a new service called "Dbxsvc" running on my computer. It runs from a file named dbxsvc.exe in my Windows System32 folder. Is this some kind of malware or some new part of the Dropbox program? I know there are two…

Hi! I've 5,8 GB of DB space. I've used it almost, so I did "selective sync" to free some space in my computer. Nothing happened eg doesn't free any space. I calculated manually the folders sizes viewable in my DB app - result is ca 3,8 GB - it means, theoretically I should manage with 2 GB-s of freed space. BUT IT ISN'T…

I have my dropbox folder in the D drive of my computer. For some reason, the dropbox folder is not named "D:\Dropbox", but "D:\Dropbox (Elliotfan)" with my account name together. Does anybody know how to return the name back to "D:\Dropbox" without messing up the saved files? Thanks.

So after more than a year of discussion on pretty much the same topic, this still has not been resolved. Sugesting that issue will be resolved in the next version of software is somewhat unacceptable, and if you try to imagine this in any other profesion, you will agree, it would not be tolerated. We just designed a house…

Typically when you open a photo (not synced with Dropbox) in Windows 10, the photo opens in Windows' Photos default application. Once the photo opens, you can use the right and left arrows on the keyboard to cycle through other photos in the same folder. It's a very handy feature that appears to be disabled when the folder…

Hello I have 8 large MPG files, roughly around 70G each. I've downloaded Dropbox onto my desktop PC and have been transferring the filesfrom my external drive into the Dropbox folder on my computer. Apparently they do not automatically upload to my shareable Dropbox folder. When I try to then drag the files onto Dropbox…

I accidentally dragged a folder to my Dropbox folder. How can I "unshare" it without deleting it (which I have done [and restored, thankfully] two different ways already)? Maddeningly confused, Paul

Hi, I have a problem with Excel files. They works if saved in the pc but the same file in Dropbox said that is impossible to open cause it is not found. Thank you for helping me.

I realised that photos synchronised with dropbox and then beeing shared or downloaded are losing their geotags. Is there a way to get to the geotag information of these photos, so that they can be opended in programs like geophoto showing the right location. The information must be available somewhere, because when…

My laptop is extremely slow and my webroot analyzer says I have a handle leak coming from Dropbox. How do I fix this?

Hello, I want to prevent dropbox from syncing back to the cloud files that are already on my computer.. or I want only to sync from dropbox to computer I do not have enough space in the cloud to have all the files.. so there is a folder I do not wish to sync back to the cloud but if there are new files on it to sync to…

Opening an MS Access file (e.g. Personal.accdb) on my Dropbox will create a duplicate file, where the original file is duplicated and a number added for each time I have tried opening the file (e.g. Personal1.accdb, Personal2.accdb, ...). The original file is not updated and may result is obsolete data as I use a direct…

I know this has worked before, so I must be doing something wrong. Downloading seems to be missing. Specifically, I'm trying to download a folder, but I can't find how to download a file without opening it either. There is no Download button anywhere I can find in the window. And when I right click on the folder or file, I…
