Hidden backups are driving me nuts
Dropbox used to make my life so much easier. I had access to all my work folders remotely. But then it was changed to hide backup folders and when one selected it takes me to a web page where I can download the file. This is so frustrating. This seems to go against the dropbox philosophy of "magic" access on all linked…

Can't upload a file that's below the accepted limit.
I sent those questions, and I do not have a solution. I was told the max file size is 50 GB. The file I'm trying to upload is 26 GB which is well under the max. My internet is 1.5 GB download and one gb upload. I'm the only one on the internet at the time of failed upload. Also, it is a single file. So none of those issues…

Rename and delete options now missing when viewing a PDF file
I always used to like the ability to rename and delete a file from within the built-in PDF viewer. Why did this feature get removed? Now if I'm in a folder with lots of files that start with a similar name there's more chance of renaming or deleting the wrong one compared to before when you did it whilst viewing the file.…
How to Start a Retry
I have about 25 files with upload errors. I clicked "retry all" and they have all been added back "in queue" with a little clock icon next to each file. The only option appears to be the "Cancel" button. These files have been in queue for about 48 hours and no upload retry has been started. How do I instigate a retry of…

The right way to send large (>100GB) files via Dropbox to a client with no Dropbox subscription?
Hi, I have Dropbox Pro myself, so uploading files should be no problem. The key question is: What is the optimum ZIP file size is so that a client who does not have a Dropbox subscription can download them? I cannot find a clear answer to this. In some places it says you can download a folder of 20GB or a single file of…

Dear Dropbox folks, I was having difficulty getting Dropbox to work on Linux (Ubuntux 18.04), and had removed and reinstalled the dropbox client without success. Even when I reinstalled the daemon with dropbox start -i, I still never was able to get the message: Starting... To link this computer to a Dropbox account, visit…
Moving a folder with many files in Dropbox fails all the time

In dropbox.com/Camera Uploads, file names with colons are not synched to Windows
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 synch to my Windows laptop. What should I do about this?
Mac and PC show different folder size and number of files for the same Dropbox folder
I copied a folder on my Mac to a Dropbox folder. When I look at the properties of Dropbox on a PC the numbers are different than when I look at it on the original Mac. Many files are apparently missing? But is it not the exact same Dropbox folder. How can this be?
I find I cannot delete my empty folders...
I find I cannot delete my empty folders. The "hovering" and "three dots" option as suggested by DB does not work. The famous three dos do not appear. They appear to give the delete option only when there are files in the folder. 'Right click' on the folder on the (left hand side of the screen) only gives the Windows…

Hello, All! I am hoping someone can offer some wise words to help with this weird problem I have started to have with the Dropbox website. Since most of my files in my Dropbox Home account are stored in the Cloud via SmartSync (as opposed to on the physical drive), I find that the website search function is usually the…
Where does Dropbox inform potential users of unsupported file types
I am a fairly new Dropbox user and thus far very satisfied until I tried to upload certain file types developed by Google. Dropbox would not allow them to be uploaded claiming they are not supported. I don't recall anywhere in the sign up process for creating a Dropbox account seeing a disclaimer or warning stating which…
"Display Limit Reached" message when trying to view my photos
Hi--- I keep all my photos on Dropbox. It's usually great-- I open the app and scroll back and go back literally years and years and years. If I want to see a photo from November 2014, I could usually just scroll back there (it takes a while, but always worked). Today, when I went to do that, I got to the end of 2019 and…
