Sync

I am a paying customer and very frustrated with Dropbox. I am ready to drop DropBox and look for other alternatives. Since Friday of last week it has been trying to sync 100Gb in files and it is taking an eternity. Now is stuck in "Starting." I have rebooted the Mac (10.6.8). I am using Dropbox 3.0.3. I have tried going to…

I recently got the iPhone X and cannot attach dropbox files in the Gmail app. Please help 😞

Is there a way to show all Sync errors in Dropbox? I was browsing through my files and saw a file with a red cross on it, and after inspection it seemed it wasn't syncing because of an emoji in the filename. This got me thinking - how many other files do I have that currently aren't synced because of this reason? Dropbox…

I have a large folder called Pictures, within which are many subfolders (532 if Windows Files Explorer is to be believed), the whole containing 17,732 files (all pictures), adding up to 46.5 GB - quite a small proportion of my 2TB allowance on Dropbox. This all syncs to my PC. I use my iPad to access these pictures from…

I Can not link my Yahoo mail to dropbox . Yahoo have removed the upside down v (next to the Attachment icon) that gave the option to Share from Dropbox . Does Dropbox now not support Yahoo mail or am I doing something wrong. Thank you for any help.

I've recently activated the smart sync functionality for my teams account. When I did, Dropbox started indexing and syncing a huge number of files which made sense to me because it needed to download all shortcuts to online files (the ones y had previously saved online only using selective sync). However, after finishing…

In the past month I have uploaded over 900 GB through browser with roughly 20-30 mbits per second. Today the speed crashed down below 200 kb/s which is completely unusable. I have a 100mb/s line and the upload to other sites is working fine at full speed so it's clearly a Dropbox issue.

Hello, I've found synology and qnap to have rather robust syncing capabilities. I'm curious as to whether anyone has synced the same directory with two different NAS. We're talking about a few million files, but not many modified or created per day. In my testing it has worked well, but in production it could be another…

Dear community, I have a perfectly correct Dropbox installation, no noteworthy issues with illegal filenames and I have performed all possible kinds of troubleshooting. Even so, every so often, mostly when migrating to a new PC, Dropbox will become stuck in an eternal 'downloading' session. What bothers me is perhaps not…

Sometimes filenames in my Dropbox folder(s) are changed to UPPERCASE letters. Seemingly random, but probably isn't :) I can see from the version history that the file has been renamed (changing from lower to upper case or vice versa), but I have not done that. I don't think it is the client software either, as I experience…

Next to my drop icon in by toolbar on top of my Mac laptop is a red circle with a number one in it. What is that and how do I get rid of it? Thanks in advance.

Dear Community I am using what is for me a basic feature of dropbox, i.e. working on files stored on several computers, which are synched when modified. So, no problem when we have the folders A, B and C and whenever one of us is updating a file in one of these folders, they appear via synching on they other PCs, eg. X, Y,…

How do I seamlessly move 500GB+ files between 2 Dropbox accounts? FYI, I have Business account on the origin account and Enterprise on the destination account, so 500GB can fit. I tried sharing folders (have to do it one by one as if the folder has too many files or too big in size, even sharing failed), they got shared,…

Hello all, I made a small .NET Core app that publishes as an .exe with surrounding files. Its a small client manager that gets database information from a SQLite database (which is already saved in Dropbox) in the project folder. Now, I've been wanting to distribute by app to the rest of my workplace, but I've run into a…

When I plug my phone into my computer (windows) it automatically starts uploading pictures into dropbox. I don't see anywhere on my computer to access dropbox preferences. I have Win 10 (with a win 7 emulator installed). I don't see a dropbox app/program anywhere.

On website i can see they were removed - i even have option to restore them, but i want them gone for good from all synced devices. i don't wanna selectively remove them…

In the past I've copied over certain emails from my Outlook inbox into Dropbox just by using copy/paste function. These would bring attachments along with the original message text and are a backup record for my business. I can't seem to do this anymore but can open the email message attachments one at a time and copy them…

For some reason my drop box files and folders no longer show the "green tick" when synced. If I right click the system tray icon there are only two options Dropbox or uninstal. I can see no way of accessing the gearwheel lots of the replies to this issue suggest. I have installed the latest versio of the app and running…

I want to know that way through which I can move all data along with all image format files from my one Dropbox account to another account of the same application that is Dropbox.

This has remained in constant sync for 3 days now. * The bottom line of the dropbox menu dropdown says "Syncing 2 files." * But when I go into the directories of my dropbox, EVERY file in every directory has the blue…

I checked task manager and dropbox is running theres just no icon and if I kill the task and double click on the dropbox exe it loads the app but does not show the Icon so I am unable to check my settings or anything…

I use Dropbox on my work-issued computer (on which I do not have admin rights), and ever since my employer installed Zscaler, my Dropbox won't sync and I'm getting the message: "can't establish secure internet connection." What can I do?
