I am new in this, so I guess this is a very simple question: How do I upload documents from wordfiles to dropbox?

I installed Dropbox on Windows 11. It hasn't synchronized files from the PC to the server for a month. Also, if I upload directly to folders on Dropbox.com, the files don't automatically download to my PC. I also downloaded the latest version of Dropbox but the problem didn't go away. How can I solve?

I have a Dropbox business account. I am trying to upload files directly from my Synology NAS to my Dropbox business account. I am using FileStation on the Synology NAS to directly upload them to Dropbox, essentially that NAS itself is uploading the files itself rather than going to Dropbox via my computer, but the speeds…

One of our users is having issues where a grey 'X' appears over the file icon. Files are located within the Dropbox folder. The files are not openable or moveable in this form and are not presented with the option to right click and download to a local save either, which would normally be shown with the green tick.…

Hello! I love Dropbox and have purchased extra space to make sure I can store all my files. However, I have a new problem.

I'm attempting to backup a large folder on DropBox by copying it to my USB-connected 4TB Drive This seems like it would take the files directly from DropBox and write them to the USB drive....but I'm noting as the copy progresses, it is taking up space on my C: drive. All files on my DropBox are set to Online-Only. 1) Why…

The new update of DropBox has screwed my computer. It won't sync, and it's taking up all of my disc space so I can't run most of the programs on my computer. "Syncing has been disabled due to an error." WHICH ERROR? And how do I fix it?? I'm on DropBox Pro — so I'm paying for this nonsense.

Hi, I just installed the Dropbox app on an iMac (running Mojave), and I could've sworn that I clicked an option stating that I just want all my files to be stored in the cloud and not on my local hard drive. (I successfully set up Dropbox that way on my MacBook.) But something went wrong here: I noticed that there weren't…

I copy download links all day from the Mac Finder. It would be great to assign a key command so that you can highlight a file in your Dropbox via Mac Finder, and press a key command to copy the link instead of right clicking.

Hi everyone, I'm moving hundreds of gigabytes to DropBox. However, from what I see on the top bar of DropBox on my Mac, the calculation of the amount of data to move is happening slowly.

Hello, I'm trying to upload a file to my Dropbox account. When I try, it first fails outright with the message "There was an error uploading a file." If I retry, then it puts the upload into a queue, but then gets stuck there. The file is less than 1 MB, so size doesn't seem to be the issue. I had this problem before…
