Has anyone else experienced this and is there a way…
Why don't shared folders on Windows have a specific icon to show it's shared?
Hello everyone. I want to ask for your collaboration to understand a problem that we are presenting. I'm having problems with the icons.

Dropbox is installed on one user profile but other profiles get a pop-up to sign in to Dropbox
I'm on a Windows 10 PC that uses multiple Windows accounts (local accounts, it if matters). The Dropbox installer doesn't give the usual choice between setting it up for "all users" or "current user". As a result, the user who wants Dropbox is happy. But all the other users gets a popup *every time* they log in to Windows,…

So I recently updated from 10.14 to 10.15, and everything looks good except for MS Word.

links from illustrator to online files

Is beta build 212.3.5724 the latest?
Just as the program flashes automatically after installation and reinstalls, if you mouse over the icon, it is versioned up to 213.3.4480, which seems to be why the program continues to shut down.

Three days ago, I added Dropbox to a new ASUS Zenbook (Windows 11). Since then, no files have been updated on the ASUS although I have changed files on an old (Windows 10) Dell XPS.

Can't access dropbox website on laptop
Hi there, I'm unable to access dropbox.com on my laptop, which is connected to my home WiFi. I have tried various browsers (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) to no avail. I don't have a problem accessing the website on my phone, which is also connected to my home network, so I reckon that rules out a network issue. The error I get on…
Show Upload Speeds
This used to be possible on a mac. In the menu bar you could click the dropbox icon and it would show you the speeds of your upload. Now it just says "syncing" but that isn't nearly as helpful. It would be much more helpful to restore the progress bar and the upload speed. As this used to be a feature, I don't know why it…

Hi all, I promise I have been trying to figure this out from the community, but still can't work it out. A project folder was moved from one location in File Explorer to the other - all good and was fine last time I checked. Someone has since renamed it, but again, seemed to be all good.
