Toolbar Icon missing Debian 12, GNOME Some other versions of Debian desktops, other Linuxes are okay. A solution given by Dropbox is to download a newer version of Dropbox than is in the Debian Repositories, which is dated this year, and install that. This did not resolve the issue. At the present time, I do not have…

Hi, I’m on a Mac using the v.206.4.6506 of Dropbox desktop app. Recently when I’m uploading files using Dropbox Transfer, I set the expiration date, let’s say one year later, and turn off the download notification slider. The file upload and it’s done. Everything is fine BUT when I do another transfer I have to set the…

I've run a Dropbox basic folder for over 10 years. Currently running the Basic Setup on a fully updated Windows 10 PC. Space used is only 1.6 gig.

Hi I would like to map the main index (folder & files) of my Dropbox account to Windows 11. I do not use the Windows Dropbox client and do not intend to use it. I only access Dropbox from the web. That said, also considering that two-step verification complicates the connection, is there a way to map Dropbox as a Windows…

I mistakenly deleted the D:Data drive from Windows File Explorer and lost all of my Dropbox folders and files. I thought a D drive would be an external drive and that all of my files would still be in the DB cloud. But no, they're all gone but worse than that, they did not go to the Deleted folder, they just disappeared,…

There used to be an option to open a file in Dropbox in your browser, but for some reason it's disappeared: I can copy the Dropbox link and paste it into my browser to view it that way, but it's way less convenient than it was before. I don't see why this option would have disappeared and am wondering if it's a bug or…

Even before an upgrade, I was stuck on either syncing or indexing endlessly. Currently my comp is just endlessly "indexing..." at the bottom of the app menu. I've uninstalled and reinstalled many times, this has been a problem now for over two weeks. I've logged out, I've tried "fix permissions" and "fix hardlinks" several…

Ever since updating to File Provider on Mac (which fixed the issue with auto-downloading of files for Adobe projects, thanks) my Dropbox folder "modified" dates on my Mac do not update when the folders were modified by other users on our team. For example, if I modify a folder, and I've sorted by Date Modified, that folder…

Hello. Dropbox for Mac is automatically removing downloaded files, making them online-only. I understand this is meant to happen automatically (and can't be turned off?) for files that haven't been touched in a while, but I have content referenced by other video and animation software that is being taken offline without me…

I'm on a team with 4 people and all of us joined the shared folders because we're all listed on Dropbox.com. But, only one of us sees all of the contents of the shared folder. Another person can see a few folders but the other folders aren't populating and his Dropbox app says his syncing is up to date. My Dropbox app…

I put a big giant folder inside of the Dropbox folder, but now upon trying to move it back to my desktop it's saying I can only copy it over. I do not have enough storage space to do this, and I don't know what to do. What's the best way to get this out of the Dropbox desktop app folder and back onto my computer's normal…

I'm trying desperately to clear out my hard drive (so Photoshop can open!) and have made tons of folders and files 'online only' sometime ago. However, when I inspect the the folders and files (I'm using the app Folder Size) these STILL take up space on my laptop. An example of one folder here is my 'Camera Uploads' which…

Hey there! I'm a little new to using dropbox after stopping about a decade ago, the backup feature seems pretty useful to sync files between my devices, but i'm having an issue: I can only tell the dropbox application to backup my entire documents folder. If I try to select an individual folder or folders within the…

Hi, I have started getting this bizarre issue all of a sudden where whenever I open the dropbox tray, it becomes a mini version of itself within the tray (see picture). Anyone have any idea why this may happen and how I may fix this? The only way for me to now select anything from the tray is through this mini box which is…

I've pickup up a new PC on Windows 11 and tried to install the latest version from the Windows Store and low and behold, this issue has come up again! I've been through every single community post…

Is anyone successfully using Dropbox on Western Digital Cloud OS 5 and if so what are the correct network settings to configure? On my NAS WD PR4100, the Dropbox app doesn't let me go beyond the "Sign In" button. The button triggers a window to select my Dropbox account, allow the API and provides a code that i then enter…

I used to have it since I have several folders that I had enabled it on. Those folders are missing the context menu to…

I just finished migrating to a new MacBook Pro from my previous MacBook Air. Everything appears to have come over but none of my Dropbox files showing in the new machines Finder app are accessible. Is there a trick to disassociate them from the old laptop?

When I view my files and folders in my Dropbox account online, the "Modified" sort column will not show dates for any folders in my account. The column only shows two hypens for each folder instead of a date. The "Modified" column will show dates for FILES, but not for any folders. (I actually have 2 Dropbox accounts, and…
