Sync

Every time I login in the app I get asked if I want to upload my photos. I do not and never will. But there is no possibility to say: ‘stop asking’ so it totally drives me crazy. I can only say: ‘no’. So the app keeps asking me. Please fix this. It’s driving me insane.

Uploading multiple video files from Google Drive is cumbersome and time-consuming: find the file, download to computer, upload to desktop, delete the downloaded file, and repeat, over and over. It would be amazing if Dropbox could create a function that would allow multiple files to be directly uploaded simultaneously from…

Past 2 days I can't upload video files from my external to Dropbox via Mac book. ANYBODY?!?! File loads to 9 - 10 minutes left; stops. Says I've lost internet connection; will resume loading when I RECONNECT. Refreshed modem & router; still won't work. Intermittent internet signal. Goes from WIFI CONNECTED to LOOKING FOR…

When I first used Dropbox a few years ago, as soon as I took a photo on my androad phone the photo would be uploaded to my dropbox and synced to my PC. Nowadays I can take a picture on my android in the home (with connected wifi) and when I hover over the dropbox icon on the PC it states "Dropbox Up to date" it can be…

DropBox tells me that there are 1,000 files on my disk that it can't sync. All seem to be in the same folder. DB tells me that I should give it full disk access. But it has full disk access already. I tried doing a chmod to 777 on the folder. No luck. Any suggestions?

I've been using Dropbox for years in rudimentary manner. Yesterday installed desktop app which shows indexing 21,242 files. Using Monterey 12.6.1 and chip is Apple M1. After install of DB app v172.4.7555, it as predicted moved the Dropbox folder from Favorites to Locations. Most files show an empty white cloud with no…

Hello, I have all my files online only, but when I need to work with them I usually right click the folder and click 'Make available offline' but that option is gone since the last big dropbox update. How do I get this back please? I can't work like this.

Hello I am doing 30 days of trials with a professional plan but I am not sure if I continue to use Dropbox for one year after the trial. This is because of the fact that the disable download option simply doesn't work. I have been trying to change the setting many times, but every time I sent the link with disable…

I was able to resolve some of the issues in my last post, but I still have three significant problems, which I describe below. I was out of the office for two weeks, and when I returned, Dropbox updated to a new version. I use Dropbox on macOS, and now it appears that all of my files have been moved to…

I use Dropbox on iPhone and 2 PC's: Surface and HP all-in-one. Synchronisation goes fine on all three however: On the Surface all files and folders show sync icons. On the HP no sync icons at all. I could not find out why and did not manage to make the icons appear on the HP as well. Who can give the key to solve this…

Hi, I received an email that our Dropbox Business account was downgraded 3 days ago, and your team files stopped syncing. To keep using Dropbox Business and resume syncing, contact your admin. (we tried this but in one account but its showing different admin) Can someone help me with this, as I have 3 different folders…

I can't seem to find an answer to this issue specifically. I have a folder within a folder that contains many files I do not want added to my dropbox. Attempting to use selective-sync, I went into my Dropbox preferences on my Macbook and deselected the folder from syncing, however, when I clicked update, it get deleted the…

Hi community, I have a question to those who use macOS devices. I recently got a new mac and set up the backup on Dropbox. Dropbox automatically named my new mac as Mac(2). However, I will be using this new device as my primary machine and I may end up selling my old mac if don’t see a reason to hold it. Therefore, I want…

PC에서 드롭박스 앱을 통해 드롭박스를 이용하고 있습니다. 드롭박스 사용자는 저희 팀원 5명 정도 같이 이용하고 있습니다. 문의 내용은 지난 주 목요일부터 제 PC에서 업로드한 파일이 정상적으로 동기화가 이루어지지 않아 다른 PC나 드롭박스 웹에서 보여지지 않습니다. 또한, 제 PC에서 다른 팀원이 업로드한 자료도 확인 되지 않습니다. 어제 실시간 채팅문의를 통해 화면공유하여 작업관리자에서 여러 프로그램의 작업 중단을 해보았으나 증상이 해결되지 않습니다. 지금 드롭박스 상태창에서는 계속해서 파일 업로드중이라는 안내만 나옵니다.

Hello The Finder Extension Icons indicating whether a file or folder is Online Only or Available Offline are showing up in my Finder, however, the statuses are incorrect. For instance a folder that contains files that are both Online Only files and Available Offline files is showing a cloud icon, when it should be showing…

Hi guys, I just upload some files (around 5mb) from my home windwos desktop 10 minutes ago, but I can't see them appear in my mac's dropbox folder, however I can see them when I open dropbox with chrome browser. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks! David

I notice DB has created a new location. All my folders & files seem to be in there OK, but the folders in the new location are not being synced. I checked at DropBox.com and the folders in the old location are being synced, not the new one. What do I have to do? Thanks.

Hi Community, I've just bought a new work PC (Windows) and have installed Dropbox, but the "Advanced" option to make everything available offline is missing, meaning everything synced as online only. I've been right clicking all the folder and selecting "Make available offline" but it just doesn't seem to be working. Is…

Hi, Is there a way to adjust the time period for smart sync to 'unload' files back to online only? we have some large projects and files that may not be touched for a few months and we keep having to download them again. As we work out on remote sites using mobile data, this can chew up our data limit quickly. It would be…

I do not want Dropbox to backup my photos. What do I need to do in my settings to get Dropbox to stop?

Hi, I'm currently using dropbox Professional and I'd like to provide a folder for external creatives that send me their work. Since the external creatives differe from project to project, I can't guarantee each has a dropbox account. I prepared a folder called "Incoming" for each project, containing subfolders for…

At Dropbox.com in my Camera Uploads folder I have over 900 jpg files which contain a colon (i.e. : ) in their file names. For example 20161202-15:51 - 15.51.19.jpg It seems these files will not sync to my Windows laptop. What should I do about this?

Love dropbox but due to a mishap (on my part) I ended up with different drive letters assigned to my drives. It's all corrected now but unfortunately I had to relink dropbox in the middle of all this. It didn't ask if I had an existing drive and folder (E://dropbox) but immediately installed itself onto my C: drive. Surely…

I am submitting a grant application that had a specific deadline. I gave them dropbox links to view my materials. I really want to add one more document to this shared file. But I’m afraid that the group I shared it with, might be able to see the date that my new document was uploaded into the shared file. so can people…

Hello, I have Dropbox on my iMac running 12.6.3 Monterey. Dropbox has been stuck on indexing for over a week. I have tried the troubleshooting advice but haven't had success. Any ideas? Thank you!

Hi there, We use dropbox for work and would like to have an off-site backup of the entire account to a local external drive. The main issue is that it needs to be one-way (cloud to local storage) and not respect any deletions (if, for instance, someone deletes a file from the DB account, it remains on the local drive.)…
