I recently bought a new computer. I set it up with my existing DB account. It synced all the files. Everything is fine. I now want to disconnect the old computer from DB. 1) If I delete the DB folder from the old computer, will it delete all my files from the cloud and from the new computer? 2) If I format the drive on the…

Hello. I've had installed Arch Linux and put my Dropbox folder to the other partition had been mounted as USB device (e.g. to the /media folder). Recently I changed the way of mounting my partition with Dropbox folder: I add my partition to fstab file and immedeatly changed mount point. So at the moment Dropbox doesn't…

For some reasons, I have a folder and file dupplication. Every single folder starts with ._Folder Name or ._File Name and then all the folders or files available to open appears at the complete end. How can I remove that?

Hi, My Dropbox is often unwilling to sync folders to my hard drive. Apparently it thinks that my hard drive is full, which is not the case. I have over 600 mb of free space on my hard drive and the files to be synced are maybe 10 mb max in total... I have had my files being synced before with much less hard drive space…

Windows 7 64bit For some reason dropbox doesn't start with startup anymore because it needs administrator rights to start. If I try running the app normally without administrator rights, nothing happens, I see the cursor change to waiting for a few secs and then nothing. But if I right click and "run as administrator" it…

Ok, I've read a bunch of posts on this topic and I understand the issues about PST file size, upload speed, etc. I have a PST file about 500MB, which will stay about that size and I just want to back it up to Dropbox, preferably daily or at least weekly. So what is the best way to backup/sync an Outlook PST file? Should we…

Want to STOP the SYNC - not just pause then resume. Regrettably I began to sync my iPhotos to Dropbox and I can't stop the process - it PAUSES it but does not eliminate the process. I have far too many photos and it takes up too much bandwidth. I bought 1TB - and don't want to put my iPhoto library into Dropbox. I am using…

Which plug-ins????????? I have uninstalled everything I can find but it is still there....

We use dropbox to share photos with clients. We can have 4-6GB to upload in a day of various files. I would like to schedule this to happen overnight rather than during the working day. Of course I forget to do this last thing as I leave the studio. Any way to have this done so I can schedule it during the day and then the…

Hi. I'm wondering why Drobox's LAN Sync feature is a hit or miss, at least for me. Sometimes it would download the files through the internet despite being on the same network with my other PC. I've done the following already: - Allow Dropbox through the firewall, I even tried disabling the firewall of both PC -…

In all or most of my folders, my file names are duplicated but with a period-underscore "._" appearing before each duplicate. The duplicates don't open to anything except "This file type can't be viewed". This may have come about when I briefly tried using a memory stick as a Dropbox folder. I moved my default folder back…

I want to get rid of Dropbox entirely from my Mac. I'm not a very advanced Mac user, and ordinarily apps can be uninstalled with ease, but not with Dropbox. I followed all the procedures according to this link https://www.dropbox.com/en/help/41 but when I try to drag the Dropbox icon from the list of apps in Finder, a…
