Hello, Today, my dropbox app started randomly as I was re-installing it, so it started with a full re-indexation of my dropbox. My team has more than 3 millions files for 49 to of data, so it took a while. Now, after the indexation was finished, the dropbox started syncing some file, but since then, it has been stuck for…

Recently a user found after editing a spreadsheet that they could not upload it to their Dropbox folder (using a Windows script they had used successfully for years).

I have recently bought a lenovo laptop. When I navigated through the vantage app, I saw an option to claim 100gb for 90 days. When I clicked the redeem option, a dropbox installer was downloaded. I used that to install dropbox and logged in with my account , but didn't get the 100gb space. My account never had a premium…

Opening the "right-click actions" opens a new window, which keeps resizing on its own - its right and bottom borders just keep slowly moving and moving, eventually moving past the screen size (there doesn't seem to be a limit). And the resize border is inactive, so you can't even resize it back. The forum is, of course,…

Using a M3 Ultra Mac Studio, Sequoia 15.5, with Dropbox v239.4.8301 running on an external drive.

Hi I added comments into a text file, saved it and uploaded the file into Dropbox on my PC. I can open Dropbox in two ways: taskbar > globe (1) etc. or taskbar > Folders (2) etc. When I open Dropbox (1): the file opens but without my comments. Going route (2): the comments are visible.

I have a closed group of radio stations, and we share .wav files. It's legal under radio licencing. Our file names are not descriptive (database generated 6 digit key).

Currently, there is no easy way to create an offline backup of Dropbox files when using selective syncing and multiple terabytes of files are stored online. A law is coming into effect in Europe that will require us to make regular offline backups. Since this needs to be done frequently, it would be nice if this became a…

Hi again, this is a minor(?) but persistent bug I've been experiencing for a while now in Dropbox for Windows 11. After making certain folders online or offline some time back, this one particular folder has a red X, which in turn puts a red X on the entire Dropbox folder. I can't figure out what the issue is. Everything…

I had about 40gb of files, and thought deleting the dropbox app would free up space and stay on my dropbox online. Instead, it deleted everything on my desktop that I have had no luck trying to recover. And when I went onto my dropbox account online, those files were also not there. I thought deleting the app on my laptop…
