How do I stop sending screenshots to Dropbox and instead go to my Macbook Desktop

We had 300+ event speaker presentation files uploaded for an event; majority not naming the files as requested so we can organize for the presentation rooms.

I'm trying to upload a QuickBooks backup file to Dropbox, something that I do regularly, and the upload window is just showing "waiting" and not doing anything. What's happening here?

On the upload list on the website, it shows all uploads or completed uploads, but there's no filter for the files that have not completed being uploaded. It would be great to only see the files that are currently being uploaded or waiting to be uploaded. I suggest an additional filter option labeled “Incomplete” or…

I have plenty of Dropbox storage, and none of my folders get downloaded to my phone.

Why?

I manually upload my photos from my iPhone using the Dropbox app and once a batch is uploaded, I manually have to find the same set of photos on the iPhotos app to delete them.

Hello, I recently started backing up my photos from my iPhone via the Photos App + Dropbox extension, but I noticed that the file sizes changed drastically between what was displayed on the iPhone vs. what showed up on my Dropbox desktop app. Furthermore, I noticed that some of my videos went from 60fps down to 30fps.

Please add a Dropbox setting to turn off browser notifications for file uploads on dropbox.com. I would like more granular notification controls so I can disable upload alerts or messages without turning off all browser notifications for Dropbox.
