I can't log in to the Dropbox desktop application on Windows, it's stuck on 'Connecting'
My dropbox sharing has been alive and well on a range of computers and my phone.

Some of my Dropbox folders have stopped uploading. I first noticed this today when I tried to copy a dropbox link from within Windows Explorer on my Windows 10 PC.

Why are online-only files still taking up disk space on my Mac devices?
I'm really confused, the premise of smart sync is to free up local storage. This is a screenshot of a folder which contains about 2GB of data. Am I doing something wrong? https://www.dropbox.com/s/sjd34t39t0q7312/Screenshot%202017-02-18%2012.03.41.png?dl=0

My online-only files started becoming available offline, even though I didn't open them
I have a folder with 8,000 large files.

The setting in the desktop app is default to online-only but not working
Hi all, In my Smart Sync settings, I have the default set to online-only. i.e. new files should be set to online-only. However, whenever someone adds a new folder+files to my shared folder, it selectively syncs to the folder and all files. I thought that it would show in explorer, but only in online-only mode... Thanks!
