Sync

Brand new to Dropbox. There is no obvious way to save and sync emails. Folders are easy as they show up as a 'button' within the screen but there is no 'email' option. Dropbox doesn't appear on my 'email screen' I'm looking to back up/sync emails so if the computer ever fails I have a back up. (We lost them all when we…

Perhaps a very basic question. I have a Dropbox folder that I wish to work on with three separate computers (all mine). I want the contents of the folder to also reside on each of these devices, with changes synced to DB. I wish to not depend on always having access to DB so I must have the files on the devices also. I…

OS: Mac OSX High Sierra (10.13.4) I just now upgraded from Dropbox Plus to Dropbox Professional. Then I clicked "Enable Smart Sync." Then I clicked "Open Preferences." Then in Preferences pane, I clicked "Allow" (to the right of "System software from developer 'Dropbox, Inc.' was blocked from loading.") Then nothing…

Hello, The terms of use are a bit vague, so I need some more clarification please, particularly in layman's terms. * If someone writes erotica (their own), and uploads to Dropbox to share to an 18+ audience, can they do so? * Same question applies to those who have made their own amateur or professional ****** videos *…

I have used Dropbox and SugarSync for years. I have noticed that SugarSync desktop app prevents uploading of shortcuts (.lnk) files since such shortcuts would be useless on another computer that you are syncing to unless the target of the shortcut is also present on the other computer. Dropbox on the otherhand uploads the…

I use my Macbook as my master dropbox device. I also use my company laptop for syncing and sharing files between work and home. If wish to delete the files on my company laptop but retain my files on my dropbox and Macbook how do I do that without deleting all my files on the dropbox.

Hi, I would like to know what level of encryption if any is used by Dropbox for user space on the DB servers or during file transmission between different computers. Also does DB encrypt the data on the user hard drive? I work for a company and some files are classified. I want more peace-of-mind while using DB.

Hello all, I'm trying to setup smart sync on a windows 7 64 bit desktop.

Then I click on the dropbox icon and it says Smart Sync is experiencing an issue... , and then dropbox…

How do I unsync Dropbox from Ms Word so documents don't automatically download into Dropbox? I contacted Dropbox in frustration but they wouldn't help me as they said it was an "MS Word problem." However, I NEVER set up or changed any settings on MS Word that would authorize this automatic download of documents to Dropbox!…

Now that I have re-signed with Dropbox, how can I move my Google photo's into my Dropbox

Today I uploaded a large file. I dragged and dropped it into a DropBox folder. It seemed to just sit there. Is there a way to tell if data is moving? Or if DropBox is working?

Hello! I am also having the same problem with smart sync, although I am using macOS 10.13.4. I have a folder set to online-only, but it is still taking up the free space from my SSD.

I am working on a video with someone. I want to be able to update the file while maintaining the same Dropbox link. Is that possible? Is it possible to change a file multiple times but the same link will always go to it?

Very annoying. Dropbox is giving me the 'can't sync due to low disk space' message - this is on a new system with a 1TB drive with 260G available. We have a 50G biz account, and we're using about 4% of it. ATM, this is the only machine attached to it. Please fix this, guys. OneDrive/MS doesn't need any more money.

Hello, I would like to have one of my Drop box folder (Business edition) save also on iCloud. In my company we have a "Private folder" on which we have some Information such as Pay Slips, Expense reports and so on. I would like this one to be synced with my icloud folder. How can I do that? Best regards

I do have DropBox account and I didn't get notifications when new files uploading to it on my email. I did read all topics how to fix this problem, but can't find. Please respond me ASAP. My email is [email removed by moderator]

Some of my Dropbox folders have stopped uploading. I first noticed this today when I tried to copy a dropbox link from within Windows Explorer on my Windows 10 PC. The "Share", "Copy Dropbox Link" and "View on Dropbox" options were all missing when I right clicked on the folder. I checked several others that previously had…

I'm really confused, the premise of smart sync is to free up local storage. This is a screenshot of a folder which contains about 2GB of data. Am I doing something wrong? https://www.dropbox.com/s/sjd34t39t0q7312/Screenshot%202017-02-18%2012.03.41.png?dl=0

I have a folder with 8,000 large files. While I was working (but nowhere near the folder nor the files contained therein) I suddenly started getting notifications of "Smart Sync Download" and that all the files were "Syncing and Opening" I have not accessed any of these files, although it's acting as if I had manually…

Hi all, In my Smart Sync settings, I have the default set to online-only. i.e. new files should be set to online-only. However, whenever someone adds a new folder+files to my shared folder, it selectively syncs to the folder and all files. I thought that it would show in explorer, but only in online-only mode... Thanks!

Hey gang, sorry if this is a rookie question, but i cant seem to find an answer on the Dropbox website and havnt got the time to trawl through the many pages here. I have the desktop app running on my Macbook, and it works fine across all platforms. But my question is do the files sit both on my hard disk AND the dropbox…
