With my huawei y9 2019 running on android 8.1.0 my dropbox app only uploads the pictures when I open the app

Hey dude, you ever get an answer on this? This really concerns me because I use Dropbox to back up all my Logic Pro projects and their source audio files.

How do i increase the bandwith used by dropbox to speed up upload speed on an iphone ?

I'm currently syncing a folder to online-only access via GoodSync using the Dropbox API that they have implemented. I was forced to do this because using the Dropbox desktop client my files were uploadinging without consistent accurracy. Files were being placed in incorrect folders and I could not monitor the progress or…

Since I updated and now use SmartSync the "recent files" is no longer showing the most recent files.

Any luck? I have a machine that I just updated to 10.13.4 and clicking "Allow" still does nothing for enabling the smart sync extension. EDIT: I was trying to do this via VNC to a mac that did not have a display, keyboard, or mouse attached. Once I attached those items, I was able to click the "Allow" button. Apparently…

Hello. I recently downloaded dropbox to personal computer and am in the process of syncing files to this local hard drive. However, after linking my account and setting a few folders to not sync via "select sync", the syncing stopped (I now have a full green check on my desktop icon). When I go into my local dropbox folder…

I'm having a maddening problem since yesterday: without anything having changed in my system, my workflow or my files, all of a sudden there's this one file that refuses to sync. When I open the Dropbox app, it starts syncing and says something like "10 seconds left", then the time starts increasing: "50 seconds left", "5…

I’m currently receiving an error when upload load via a file request link. Works fine on my iPad but not on 2 different iPhones. Error says “something went wrong. Please try sending your files again”

Online Only Doesnt appear as an option, need to free up space on my computer so Dropbox can sync.

Why can I only upload one photo at a time from my iPad or iPhone to Dropbox? As soon as I check more than one photo, the Dropbox icon disappears.

Hi - A business colleage wants a group of people to be able to submit individual video files to her Dropbox. She would prefer to do this without requiring each person to create their own Dropbox account. What is the best way for her to accomplish this? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. bob

I have a 1400 files in a single folder on dropbox, called reports. There are roughly 4 report types. The report types are named in a way that I can't simply sort the folder alphabetically and grab the groups and copy/paste them to each report groups folder. So, I have been trying to use a batch file in windows to move each…

Hi. For couple weeks now uploading photos using the android app is terribly slow. I am uploading photos using the (+) button at the bottom right corner then selecting "Upload photos or video". It takes hours to upload 30 photos. And it takes 2 minutes using the google drive app. So it is not an internet speed issue. (400…

I have been scouring the internet for how to setup Dropbox to run on Windows Server 2012 R2 as a service. I have seen tutorials for 3rd party applications that will start it on boot and allow sync, but I cannot use any additional software in my company environment. I want Dropbox to be up and syncing 24/7, but this is not…

My coworker and I work out of the same excel sheet. Can we both edit the sheet without it creating a duplicate. Ours keeps creating a duplicate file when we save the sheet after we have individually made changes. 

Hi there, I need to know if it's possible to make changes on a file which is shared with many different members, I mean the same file exists in different folders and I want to change it once for all of them .. Thanks.

My Dropbox icon on the taskbar states it is 'Indexing 4 files... Cant Sync ....jpg (access denied). I'd either like to sync those files or delete them. I can't find those file doing a search on my hard drive or my phone. How do I do that?

I have a win10 PC. In an attempt to include my desktop folder (50GB of files) in dropbox, I inadvertently moved the location of the contents of the Desktop to "E:/dropbox" rather than "E:/dropbox/Desktop". Now, my dropbox folder IS my Desktop folder, and vice-versa! Yikes! Now everything in my dropbox folder also appears…

is it possible to upload photos on an iphone to a computer via a cable rather than accross wifi?

It would be useful if the computer could shutdown after syncing so that everything has been loaded up.

Hi, in the admin console, I've created a Team Folder. The standard synchronisation for this folder is set to "standardmäßig nicht synchronisiert", which must be something like "not synced by default". Each Team Member has to check the folder in the Selective Sync settings. Only then it is synced to the local Dropbox…

My dropbox folder on my app does not appear to be syncing, even though from the icon it says it is up to date? Its clearly not though, as anything I saved there in the last 6 days does not appear when I log in via the website on a different computer?

I found that Dropbox was making my Pc's and laptops unusable because synching dropbox content to them meant that Dropbox files were still using all the space on my hard drive! So now I am stopping the synching altogether and trying to just use the browser access to stop my hard drive becoming clogged up. The problem I have…

I don't know if this is the right category. Also, I tried searching here for a solution first, but the posts were all locked. I just started using Dropbox. I don't have many files in it. Since May 10, my virus software has found Gen:Variant.Kazy 512414 in my \.dropbox.cache. The file is ~834b6cda.tmp. The only thing I…

I have used Smartsync to make space on my computer ( very useful). But I do not understand how the 3 symbols interact and work: 1 - Cloud symbol ( I get that: file is on the cloud not on the computer) 2 - Green tick in white circle ( dont understand this?) 3 - Green tick fully green ( I think I understand this: happens…

On occasion, blue sync icons will appear on files and shortcut links that are located on my Win 10 Desktop. None of the files are related or stored in Dropbox. What is causing this. The only way to remove them is to reboot my machine. Any idea what is causing these sync issue to appear.
