No Internet Connection on macOS Sierra
I've used Dropbox successfully on my MacBook Pro until recently, when I had problems and re-intalled the app. I've tried several times to reinstall it, but every time I get the message "No Internet Connection - Your computer is currently offline...". It's not offline at all. I've tried searching for an answer to this…
Dropbox is laughably slow. Arguably the worst file-sharing client.
What year is it? Did the Internet just come out? Are we still in the infancy of sharing files quickly and efficiently? Dropbox takes (literally) 21 hours to upload 7 small movie clips to a shared folder. How can you insult someone by asking them to upgrade on a service that is so terrible? I would never pay money to…
Why can't I see Dropbox photos in Windows Photo Gallery or Crashplan?
Recently, I've run into a problem where photos stored in Dropbox are not appearing in the Photos app included with Windows 10. At first, I thought this was a bug with the Photos app itself and sought support through Microsoft about it. However, when checking my Crashplan backup, I noticed that it wasn't recognizing any of…
Starting and Syncing taking forever
Dropbox seems to be running really really slow and since it's how I share files with a co-author it's causing ****** problems. I rebooted my computer and it took about 20 minutes for Dropbox to finish "starting" and then it indexed and syncced in a pretty standard amount of time. I made change to several files and they…

Does Dropbox play nicely with iCloud Photo Library?
There's nothing recent about this, but it looks like some people had problems in the past. I only have one iCloud device (an iPhone) so duplicates from other devices won't be an issue like some people seem to have had. I'm being told I can save 26GB in storage space by enabling the iCloud Photo Library. One reason I've…
Drobox for Android - Upload Folder Including all Files and Subfolders
Being that android devices have a file manager, I was really hoping you could copy a folder (including all files and subfolders inside the folder) and paste on to Dropbox inside a Dropbox folder. Is there any possible way to upload a whole folder of files from the Google Android operating system? I don't think this can be…
What can we do with ._ files? Should I delete them?
In every Dropbox folder we have duplicatie files with ._ in front. Recently: - we have used a SD card for storage (not anymore) - we have added a Windows computer to the sychronisation (before only Mac's). What can we do with these files? Can we hide or delete them? Thank you, Laura

I have it up at the top of this screen and it is half evident what to do, at least enough for me to find a way. I click…
Desktop app is slow when starting up, and slows down the computer while doing so
Why does it take so long to start up dropbox? While it's starting up, other programs are very slow, almost unresponsive. It takes over 20 minutes to show starting/syncing completed. I have 16gb ram, window 7. The start up speed is critical during such time as trying to use the computer to print items for meeting and it…
Phone number for technical support
I am having ongoing issues trying to get my Dropbox files to sync with my desktop. I am probably a few months behind on files on my desktop as this computer had to be taken to IT for some repairs. I left it running for more than 24 hours and it's just not working right. I have followed all of the troubleshooting guides…

Files not syncing - MacBook Pro
DropBox is no longer syncing on my MacBook Pro. It has been showing "syncing 1,218 files" for at least a week. I turned off my McAfee firewall, but no change. DropBox also is using a lot of file space and the fan is blowing loudly. Activity Monitor shows it is using 107% of the CPU. If I turn off DropBox, the fan stops…

Why didn't my files save their progress? Did they not sync?
I have dropbox on my home and travel/work computer. This week, while traveling, I did a LOT of work on a word doc. I practice "save early/Save often", so I frequently save after each page, major edit, graphic item insertion, etc.. sometimes, I save every 5 minutes, sometimes it every 20, but I save after every major edit.…

And i can't even contact Tech support--that screen is always blank. I'm running Mac OS X 10.11. What do I have to do to get Dropbox to behave? Some real-time support would be most…
