Dropbox Folder Location in Mac OS Ventura
Unavoidably, with the revised version of Dropbox under Ventura OS, my Dropbox folder was moved as predicted. After the installation, without giving it much thought, I moved the Dropbox folder (via drag&drop) bad under "Favourites" in my Finder window (so it would always be at the top of the sidebar window). It was only…

I can't free up hard disk space with online-only in Windows
Freeing up space on your hard drive is a daunting task. I had to reinstall the Dropbox application and the "Available without connection" or "Online Only" menu is no longer visible. Now there is "Manage hard drive space": If something worked, why did they change it? It's more difficult to do things that way. We have…

Unable to rename a file after copying it from another file
Hi, I created a copy of a file in my dropbox folder using the Macos Finder. However, I am now unable to rename the new file via the Finder. I can rename via the command line (`mv` command), but that's not really a great situation. Also, if I try to delete the file, it asks me if I want to permanently delete it, instead of…

Constant notifications of sync events for data files e.g. ".pluginData," ".eventData" - Logic Pro?
I don't know what category to put this in (I feel like there should be a "sync" category), but I'm getting constant notifications that files have been updated, even when I'm not doing anything. It seems there are some data files being synced behind the scenes, maybe from the operating system, on a constant basis. So every…

Trying to change dropbox folder location, frozen while "moving" dropbox
I am trying to move the dropbox location/folder onto a new external drive (from an internal hard drive). It has been stuck on 3790/68455 files for 3 hours. There is no file so big that it would take this long, so I'm trying to figure out why it's frozen/stuck. And depending on the answer, if I try to cancel and/or restart,…

Refer a friend - Ineligible
I have a problem with my "Refer a friend". I invited and convinced a colleague to use dropbox. Even though he registered and installed dropbox, it did not add the promised 500 MB. It says "Ineligible" and I have no idea why. This is historically the second time this has happened to me, but here I am absolutely sure that…

URGENT: New Win11 PC: Dropbox will NOT download files from cloud -> PC, selective sync = 0 files
Hello all, I have a new Win11 PC. After installing the local Dropbox app, and ensuring selective sync is set to download all files, Dropbox WILL NOT download.

Bring LAN sync back on Mac
The new Dropbox for Mac no longer supports LAN sync. This makes Dropbox nearly useless for any users who need to maintain sync of large files or folders between multiple computers, particularly when dealing with slower internet speeds. Dropbox seems to be interested in being used by creators and people or businesses that…

File extensions with hyphens '-' don't sync to the Mac desktop app

If I add a file that has an extension with a hyphen, '-', in it to a Dropbox folder using the website, the file uploads fine, but it doesn't sync down to the Mac desktop app. Example, if I drag in three files: AFile.pdf…

Uploading large folder.
Just have a question about uploading large folders. In the past, I've noticed that folders upload quicker when the contents of the folder are uploaded one by one. However, on Dropbox, it keeps trying to upload 2 files at the same time and it's taking forever because my network usage is split between the 2. Was wondering if…

Why won't my devices sync with each other?
I have no idea if this is the right area. My tablet and phone show a 3 Month old version of files and not all of them. I've tried signing into the web app. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling on my phone and nothing works. IT looks like syncing had been paused on the computer but even once that happened it doesn't…
