Sync

Opening an MS Access file (e.g. Personal.accdb) on my Dropbox will create a duplicate file, where the original file is duplicated and a number added for each time I have tried opening the file (e.g. Personal1.accdb, Personal2.accdb, ...). The original file is not updated and may result is obsolete data as I use a direct…

What do the two blue arrows on documents that are on my desktop mean. I'm assuming it's some soft of indication that the file is replicated on Dropbox.com but why can't we get notified before changes are implemented and have some sort of explanation

I'm considering the Basic plan for Dropbox. I briefly read the differences between Selective Sync and Smart Sync. Is Selective Sync a "hot sync", in that the dropbox folder is continually monitored and sync to the "listening" folders? Is there a monthly charge for Selective Sync? If so, please advise.

Hi.. That other thread is getting really, really long, so I thought I'd pose a question here, for someone from Dropbox to answer, rather than the complaints and rants in the other thread. :-) Right at this moment I'm considering going through the pain of shifting my DB folder to ext4 despite the security/stability issues…

I am testing Smart Sync for our team. All fine but when files are 'Online Only', Windows Explorer search can't fined them. I have tried a few PCs in our team and all have the same problem, so I dont think it is an individual PC issue. We are all running Windows 10. Any ideas?

I have a Sony 6300. I have been looking through the settings on Dropbox and on my camera only to find no supporting reasons why this isn't working. Every time I plug my camera in to upload to dropbox all of the photos go automatically without a problem, but the videos never go at all. Why would this be? Anything helps (:
