Support team are unsupportable: They love so much standard answers, last time it took 89days to give me a simple solution to my big issue. A solution available from day one!!! >>> Today I'm back as in July 2025... an update broke the Dropbox setting. I had to uninstall to avoid garbage or losing files. Back to the previous…

No explanation .. but it happened only once ... and didnt sync anything Now there are >Two< DJI NEO connected ... visible as: G: H: but still no sync from them Nikon Z camera sync correctly ... Visible as: Z 30 - Z f Any news from your Devs ?

The only "workable" solution I've found, so far: Laptop_PC >> W11 Explorer * Connect Dji Neo T * G: appears in navigation pane * Open G: * Enter DJI Folder * Enter DISM Folder > Select new Videos Drag and paste into ://Dropbox/Camera Upload/DJI >That done, Dropbox makes them available to all the other devices 🤷

Update: Discovered Dropbox doesn't Auto-update >Previous version 236.4, actual updated 237.4 [direct update - not MS-Store] Well suggested ... No... I had not yet done a Clean-Reinstall. Note: **it seems a W11 issue** I changed all the AutoPlay options from "Dropbox" to "Ask" Explorer asks me for all the other supports,…

Update: a) I opened G: b) Right-clicked on DISM folder >>Found Dropbox ICON >> WOW coudnt see that before c) Choose "transfer Folder" d) Choose TO "Camera Upload" under Dropbox folder So it's a temporary way to get my video in the Cloud and access them from the other _PC so I can Edit them Received an Email confirming the…

About "These Steps" Link > already done Sorry, my bad: I did not mention that before #1, #2, #3 tests, I checked both Auto-play AND Dropbox Sync settings. Results: all settings are correct as expected. No mention of NEO as a device, and that's OK... ....but even if all the settings are correct, it doesn't seem to recognize…

Test actions already taken: 1) connect -reconnect Neo three times 2) Reboot Laptop_PC 3) Quit and restart Dropbox Next to be done: a) Check if a W11 update is eventually pausing [should not be ... having rebooted] b) Check Dropbox update eventually available [and not automatically downloaded and applied]

 

Sorry for not explaining that correctly. I've !Never! been interested in Dropbox Backup. BKPs are managed outside Dropbox. I want to sync into the Camera Upload folder any Photo or Video on any supports that happens to be connected to Laptop_PC. So far, Dropbox on Laptpop_PC has never missed syncing any memory/storage that…

Thanks ... but .... When you reboot the column reappear. That's the Issue I mentioned ( you cannot avoid definitively ) And if you have like my standard way of working ... three FileExplorer sessions usually open... you have to manage each one singularly. And next reboot do it three times again :-(

Wrong! You can choose for .. ONLY this session and ONLY this Explorer window Note: I've never worked in magnified "full screen" mode for any program on my screen, so I have multiple Explore windows open while I'm working on Folders or Files. Close Explorer, restart it and that "sheet" is again taking precious Real Estate…

This is NOT a Solution... !!! I cannot accept that as an answer, that's just "stating" how this release is working. Nothing that can solve the issue; Even with a 2Tb disk... And one single Dropbox Main Folder ... that solve nothing. What is need is two Dropbox instances running side by side of two different Main Folders.…

I contacted the support and received a standard answer: "Please Rewind back" I did that... BUT ... instead of ameliorating ... it completely damaged my Thunderbird Data base... I lost some FIFTEEN THOUSAND mails ☹ NOTE: Thunderbird host business/private mails from 1995 in separated mails-folder but but but . I solved it .…

Thanks @"Jay" I opened a Ticket referring my report&finding posted here previously.

And again something wrong !!!

Hello @"Jay" Thanks, but I dont need that info. I've downloaded directly from Dropbox.com the installer And have already installed it ( may be you've not read my long reply, uh ? )

Hello @"Nancy" . Thanks for your answer. Trying to answer you + adding some finding + discovering Dropbox stupid issues * Updates: None for what I know. I was just able to Re-Start the Main-PC yesterday, from the previous crash. Having now diagnosed the USB-PORT-HDW issue. Removed the connected device. Used a USB cable to…

Hello @"Megan" Thanks for you fast answer. I first try to answer your last question . Megan wrote: can you let me know what your end goal is? . Let's make some assumptions: Files will never be considered "properties of Cloud's App" = that's the reason I've chosen Dropbox many years ago and I keep using it. All Files are…

My 3C: Open FileExplore > Go to "My PC" > View > Options > "Change folder and View" Close FileExplorer Reopen going to any folder..... And that pesky column is not there anymore 🤷 ( the trick is to do it on the "NonFolder" ROOT > MyPC 😂 ) PS: AS A BONUS you're able to remove the green dot you can see in previous pic :-)…

Thanks for the solution!!! My 2c : A) It's a stupid answer "it's not Dropbox fault" because of B), C) B) When you uninstall Dropbox, the pesky "Status column" doesn't keep reappearing. C) Managing a "unknown" side-effects option [undocumented] but present in Dropbox Install, solve the issue You post as a "solution" A)…

So far everything is OK pn T24 PC. Re-install was the correct solution... ...no idea about what went wrong on the previous install! 🙄 ( I mark it as "solved" ) 

Here we go: UP DA TE ☂ ☁ (˚ㄥ˚) >>>After turning on my PC I discovered my T24 Dropbox was not correctly syncing this morning. Looking from my Cell the Camera Upload >the Black image was already in .... ...but not on PC T24 Folder! And the App down on the corner was saying Syncing 2 files... so I added a little more, it…

Here goes the running situation... with Dropbox using around 6-9% CPU Time.

Hehehe !! You are trying me hard, asking difficult questions. I'm sorry for you 😇 ... [ all my systems are under MY OWN full control 😂] I mean ... 3rd party ... Startup's, .Bat file executions, Registry, and TaskScheduled are listed below 😂 ( excluding Windows software - but I can also have that if needed )

A) Yes. In the first stint, I deleted the folder you named. The.NEF file notified is a raw image from a Nikon photo that was first in the "camera upload" and then moved to the main folder "Camera", which is five up from the opened folder "PC." no idea when I may have deleted it. Usually, I delete the files after…

Oh, yes. The notifications appears sround 17-22 seconds after the last startup program has been launched. ( No idea why )

Not happy with that .... > I did a second stunt.... I cleaned the "Apps" directory of old folders and links Rebooted ... and this is what I obtained 😇 And I also got a new notification in the screen corner :-D ( never saw that before )

Strange things happens 🤷 I deleted that folder and rebooted ... just to obtain something else !!

Screenshots) That's the most difficult part to do. Explaining: I need to make some change into the repository. Then I need to reboot, and hope the notifications will appear when W10 has completed its boot job. Let see what I can do this evening !

Hello Hannah. Thanks for answering me. I'm not at home and answering on cellphone [that has also Dropbox installed and in sync] A) As the Dropbox was downloaded and installed Saturday, I suppose this is the last version. B) All the files are in Dropbox "space". That means that all the Pcs have the same Dropbox folder in…
