Windows

This is happening to me on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. When I first installed Dropbox 3.14.7 I thought it it was well-behaved, because it offered an option to disabled "Start Dropbox on system startup". But that doesn't work. I have certain drives that aren't mounted when the system starts. I have moved the Dropbox…

Until 2 weeks ago, I was running Windows 10 and I had placed my Dropbox folder on an external hard drive. I've switched to using Ubuntu and I want to resume using Dropbox. I'm going to follow the instructions at this link: https://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/install-dropbox-ubuntu/ The only potential problem I see is that…

I have been using dropbox for near 10 years and always have uploaded all photos from my IOS device automatically. Always have been able to manage them from a desktop Mac. However, I now use a PC Win10 and I no longer see the camera upload folder. All files and folders appear EXCEPT "camera uploads". I have it set to…

I haven't been able to copy files INTO Dropbox for a few weeks now. I am on a Windows 10 system, and up until recently I could drag and drop files into Dropbox. Now I drag and drop and nothing happens. File simply does not appear. I can download files that my company places in Dropbox. Also I CAN upload and download files…

Dropbox seems to be stuck in a loop, and opening hundreds of background processes. This consumes all my CPU capacity, then eats at my memory and disk space. See attached pics. There also seem to be windows being automatically opened, as my typing or mouse clicks in other apps is interrupted when the hundreds of background…

I have recently purchased a new HP computer with Windows 10 and installed my standard office software including DropBox (v53.4.67). As soon as I installed DropBox, and started to do work I experiencedproblems with File Explorer. When I clicked on File Explorer on the Task Bar, File Explorer opened without showing any…

Over the weekend I installed the May 2019 update to Windows 10. For the most part, it's been fine. The only issue I'm having is with Dropbox. Every time I log into Windows on my home desktop, I get an error message from Dropbox telling to look at a .txt file. I've looked at it and here's the error its giving me:…

Within my Dropbox folder, I have sub-folders with different Windows ACL permissions. Up until recently, whenever Dropbox synced a file it inherited its folder permissions perfectly. Now it no longer does. It overrides the folder permissions and sets all file permissions to something completely different - Full Control for…

I am getting frequent notifications to update my Windows desktop Dropbox app, requesting permission to make changes to my system. It doesn't matter whether I respond yes or no, nothing happens after that. It just keeps happening over and over again.

I have a Microsoft Surface Go with Windows 10. I want to set up Dropbox to show on the left side of the window when I open Documents (like it does on my PC). How can I make that happen? When I download Dropbox I am forced to use the Mobile app.

I have the "Dropbox Plus" subscription and I run the client on 4 computers. Yesterday (Monday, 13-Jan-2020) I signed onto my desktop (which is always on) and has a full local sync of my dropbox that a number of new files added Saturday had big red Xs on them -- JPEGs I had scanned Saturday and which were in sync to my…

Hi, I am using Dropbox Plus on a Win7-PC. Since my C:/-drive ran out of space, I wanted to change the Dropbox location to F:/. This worked, but Dropbox created a subfolder also named Dropbox. I am not English mothertongue, so pls. bear with me when explainig a litte complicated. My local folder now looks like this:…

Since Dropbox recently limited free accounts to three devices I had to delete it from my desktop PC and a laptop. The deletion from the laptop went OK. The deletion from the desktop (Windows 10) occurred, but left a sort of transparent document icon in File Explorer. See screen snap. I can't delete this, even after a…
