I did not try to add any files to Dropbox, it started syncing all my files on it's own, is now full and is still wanting to sync more. Can this be stopped? If I delete the unwanted files will they also be deleted off my laptop?????

Can I stop syncing with a folder? We have a folder that is very large and my laptop has run out of storage. I don't need this data on my laptop so is there a way to stop syncing with it?

Can someone please tell me how to get the URL of an image in my folder. I have checked out several suggestions on Google but they don't match up with what I see on my Dropbox window. I cannot see where I find the copy URL button. Any help appreciated.

Good Morning All, I keep a work folder on my computer that I make additions/changes to throughout the week.

I have to download a somewhat important 20 GB .zip file from dropbox, but everytime I try it fails at 50-60% and it's impossible to restart it. I'm downloading through direct link, because I dont have a dropbox plan and can't save it to dropbox. Is there is any workaround to get this file?

In Chrome, when I click download (in any of the ways) I get an error message at the top that simply says "There was an error downloading your file." No error number either. With Firefox, nothing happens...not even an error message.

I have an excel sheet that pulls football scores from the web. The info only updates new scores if I open the excel sheet from the original computer I made sheet on. I want to be able to open my dropbox from another computer and have scores update.

Using the web interface, I'm trying to download a single audio (.wav) file and after a few minutes it cancels and says 'Failed - Network Error'.

Every time I try to download a file I get a failed status in Chrome or Safari. When I download in Firefox it fails, however Firefox allows me to "restart" the download and it begins again where it left off... so I can complete the download by repeating this as many times as necessary per file. Very annoying. For a larger…

Hello. In a synced dropbox (ver. 54.4.90) folder, the date of a file is different in its local version and in its server version.

Hello I tried to share a file (600 MB) with someone and he told me, the download was super slow. Almost 1 hour (he has a 50MBit connection).
