I uploaded a file that was 140Go by simply copying into my Dropbox folder and waiting for it to sync. It took about 5 days as I have 100Mbs on the download but 10Mbs on the upload only with my Spectrum connection. Now I wanted to save space on my computer and switched it to "Online-only" but it's been two days and it still…

Hello, Recently Dropbox has been uploading photos with different file names and date formats. Example: some files will be named "2022-04-07 17.07.01" and others will be named "Photo Apr 07 4 29 40".

Hi, I am a longtime paid Dropbox customer on Linux. The set of data I would like to keep and backup in the cloud is growing beyond the size of my hard drive, and I need a solution to selectively sync only parts of my online Dropbox folder to my local drive. That has been possible for a long time on Windows, but…

The Dropbox Task bar App shows that that the Sync is complete in the status bar, however items are continuing to download, upload and show as Waiting for Sync. Why is this basic function not correct?

I have a fresh installation of Windows 11 which after a few weeks' use has started flickering and not responding for a few seconds, and this happens every few minutes. On occasion I get a beep then flickering. Windows task manager doesn't flicker, which means (according to MS) it's not a display driver issue but an…

Hi everyone, I’ve just got a new computer, and I’m trying to sync my folder structure and file names to the cloud (Dropbox Family). However, I want to make sure that most of the files stay in the cloud and don’t take up space on my local drive, except for the ones I specifically choose to keep offline. Does anyone know how…

Hello everyone, I'm using a MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2015) with macOS Monterey 12.7.6 and have updated to the new Dropbox version. I've been experiencing issues with file syncing.

When you have files synced to online only and then you delete the files from your local device, all of the files get taken off of dropbox.com never to be recovered? I lost a s*** load of files this way, but I am not sure why it happened. Someone please clearly explain this: if I sync online only the file should be…

Allow you to view locally (on your computer) the full tree view of files stored in the cloud, and therefore not limit the number of files that can be synchronized locally on a computer (currently at +/- 300,000). A level that you quickly reach when you have 15 or 20TB on your Dropbox. It is very restrictive to be forced to…

Welp, week two and the "new" Dropbox update continues to reek havoc on my iMac. I've read a lot of community threads, and can already ****** out that this is not a "beta" version. I've installed DB version 191.4.4995, on Ventura 13.6.1, and now I've updated to Ventura 13.6.4. After countless system restarts, the Dropbox…

I saved some files into the Dropbox file on my PC. Two hours later they have not shown up in my account at dropbox.com nor in the apps on my iPad and my Android phone. How can I fix this problem?

As the attached screenshot shows, when I look in the Dropbox manager in the Windows taskbar it simultaneously tells me that “Your files are up to date” while also listing all the files still “Waiting to sync.” This is not a one-off, it happens every time I transfer photos from my camera into my Dropbox folder. I would like…

Good morning, I've recently moved and am now the proud owner of an FTTH fibre optic Internet connection. I just ran a speed test, and my download speed is at 30 MB/S, while upload speeds have reached up to 9 MB/S. However, when I use Dropbox to sync my files, the speeds are significantly lower. For example, the other day I…

I have been syncing my Windows library files (Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Videos) using Dropbox for years. But I keep getting messages about trying Dropbox Backup. What is the difference?

We have a quintet of…
