Sync

I've got a Mac with a small SSD -- smaller than my Dropbox account. So I use "Selective Sync" to keep most of my large photo library in the cloud. When I need some files, I enable "Selective Sync" and allow that directory to sync to my Mac. Recently, my photographs (JPEGS) have become corrupt when I sync them with…

This just suddenly started in the last couple of days, after working for years.

I have just moved from Mint 18.2 (64 bit Cinnamon) to Mint 20. On my old desktop I had folders that were links to my Dropbox folders making saved changes automatic. I cannot find instructions for doing this to some additional folders and can't remember how I did it last time.

We use Dropbox for a lot of shared files amongst our businesses. It's come to my attention that several users out in our field are updating their files and making real-time changes, but those changes/edits are not showing up on my end.

Hi, I would like to know if there is the possibility to protect access to the Dropbox local folder on the PC, using a password. This because I installed Dropbox even on the PC in office.

I have multiple Dropbox folders on my system. Each one resides on a different drive or nested within another folder on those drives.

The photos taken by Samsung Galaxy are not immediately synced to Dropbox for some reason. It seems it takes several hours to sync them, although the phone is connected to Wifi and also syncing over a cellular network is allowed and there are only 1-2 photos to upload (the problem is not the size). It is very…

Hello, I have a macbook pro I just realize that all my screenshots now are saved directly on my drop box. I prefer that they are saved as before on "Photo".

Please help me out, it would be so handy to have…

But my iPhone Dropbox app says my dropbox folder is full and can't synch photos. In the account menu, it says I'm using only 62% of my dropbox.

OS: Windows Executed a Dropbox "Move" , i.e. change the "Dropbox Folder Location" to move it to another hard drive (I needed to upgrade my H/D to a larger drive).

Quick question - if I enable the new (to me) option "Save hard drive space automatically", how long would an untouched file remain before DB makes it online only? The docs say "in a few months" but I am curious to know how long actually.
