I see there is a common issue when it comes to Download speeds. I just can't believe how frustrating my experience was using Dropbox for big files.

Additionally, can I delete…

My uploads have slowed to a crawl. I have 1 gb fiber internet from CenturyLink and it's working fine. Just tested at over 900 Mbps upload and 400 Mbps upload. I am uploading my usual way through the Mac Finder, which has always been pretty zippy in the past. I'm on an Apple M2 Max Macbook Pro, running Sonoma 14.5. I'm…

When moving an online file from one directory to another directories sub-directory, often times (not always) the file will end up in the root dir and not the sub-directory that was selected. Example: Move file /examples/myfile.txt to /new-example-folder/text-files/myfile.txt often times "myfile.txt" will end up at…

I have not been able to synchronize files with Dropbox since yesterday. Previously I had synchronized files with Obsidian and an internal plugin. Then it suddenly stopped working. When I upload files manually, it keeps saying that it skips 19 of them. I don't know how to upload these 19 more files. They are no different…

macOS 14.5 (23F79) on 2024 MacBook Air; Dropbox v200.4.7134 Dropbox has paused syncing, with the little "x" on the menubar icon. On clicking the icon, it says "not enough disk space".

I have used Dropbox for years with no problems. Recently I have been scanning documents into folders labeled by the date. Scanning was done by Scanner Pro and uploaded to Dropbox through that App. It has worked perfectly for several weeks, but when I scanned 70 documents from 1989 and uploaded them to Dropbox, they show up…

I have read through several fixes and nothing has worked. I cleared the cache, there are no new files, I deleted the app and reinstalled it. Every time I click on the make available offline it shows the green circle for a second then the yellow triangle.

I am currently not able to get any external hard drive to backup to Dropbox backup. I have previously backed one up successfully, but then that backup got corrupted and had to be deleted. I even picked up a new Western Digital external drive to start fresh. I have followed all instructions here:…

Hello everyone! Why is the red box on my dropbox Windows taskbar icon? I've read in another thread that it's not a big deal and it's about some notification problem. But I have all notifications on. When I delete a file from one of dropbox folders the icon doesn't show syncing (which it does properly), just stays with red…
