Hey @BarryHWhite, did you manage to resolve this? Let us know if you still need help!

Could it be used on a second Dropbox account then, @Chaz54? Can you open a different browser or a private browsing window and try to log in to the Dropbox website with it? If you click on the "forgot password" option and an email to reset your password does come to that address, it means it's being used by another Dropbox…

Hi there, @bjvd, thanks for your reply! That indeed looks like the correct location for your Dropbox folder. You can also find the location of your Dropbox folder from the "Sync" tab in the Dropbox desktop app preferences. I hope this helps!

Thanks for the update here, @Dr_B! About the email notifications, there is a way to turn them on if you want. You'll need to click on your profile pic at the top right corner of the page, then on "Account & Privacy Settings" and then on "Notification preferences" on the right. You should be able to check or uncheck the…

Thanks for your post, @Jay_Rayner, and sorry to see that you're having this issue. Can you please hover over the Dropbox icon in your system tray and let me know the sync status and version of the Dropbox app? Is this happening with just this one folder? Are other files in your Dropbox folder syncing as normal? I'm…

Hi from me as well, @Marcbeth. Did you check your events page to see if you can find out what happened to the files? What do you see when you go to that page?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, @burn0u7, and for sharing your experience. I moved your post to a thread of its own, since it seems like a unique issue. Regarding your issue, there is in fact a log of all the actions that are taken on a Dropbox account, which is the events page. There's no direct place to find…

Thanks for your post, @Kmcnam! Have you checked your backups page here? You should be able to see your backed up drive and the status of the backup there, and of course see the names of the files that are being backed up. Let me know if everything looks good or not!

Hi from me as well, @peter0317. Does this only happen with image files? And just to confirm, when you have the image open and you're viewing it, if you simply tap on your screen once, does this info remain on the screen? Have you uninstalled the app and reinstalled it to see if it helps?

Thanks for your reports, everyone. We're currently looking into this, but in the meantime, can you try to uninstall the Dropbox app, restart your computers and then reinstall it from this link to see if it helps?

Hey @ir0nman, thanks for posting to our Community! I merged your post with another one, since they're about the same thing, I hope that's okay. Indeed, shared folders take up space in each member's account, so the other members would need enough space in their own accounts as well. If they simply need to view or download…

Hey @LEEDAERI, thanks for taking the time to post on our Community. To get to the point, Dropbox payments are in most cases non-refundable. However, I would suggest reaching out to our support team, so they can investigate your specific case internally. Let me know if you have any issues or if you need anything else!

Hey @JMEH, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community today. It sounds like you're having this issue. Have you reached out to our support team about this? They'll be able to investigate and assist you further. Let me know if you have any issues or need anything else!

The advanced reinstall would be the next step at this point, @datanz. Can you please try and let us know what happens?

Hi from me as well, @zevrix. Thanks for your update and feedback about the Community issue, I've passed it along to our team. As for your issue, are you perhaps using the File Provider version of the Dropbox app? Is this the behavior you're seeing?

I see, thanks for checking, Hannah. I just sent you an email, so we can look into it in private. See you there!

Sorry to hear about your file missing, @HannahChiayi. Can you see the file in your deleted files page? And if you go to your events page, do you see any deletion events containing that file? Let me know what you find.

I'm happy to hear that, Simon! Thanks for letting us know as well. If you come across any issues in the future, we'll be here to help. Have a great day!

Thanks for reaching out to us and sorry to see that you're having this issue, @xinwang. I just sent you an email, so we can investigate this internally. See you there!

Thanks for your updates, @mommycamsie! Is this computer still linked to your account? You can see a list of your linked devices at the bottom of this page. If it's still linked, to delete the backup, you'll need to unlink it by clicking on the trash icon next to it. After that, you should be able to delete your backup…

I see, thanks for testing that, Simon. I do have a question, because I see in your screenshot that there are two Dropbox options in the navigation pane on the left there; do both options lead to the same location on your computer? If so, let's go to the next step, which is to uninstall the Dropbox app, restart your…

Thanks for trying that, Simon. Can you also check if you get the same behavior when you right-click on files instead of folders? Also, the folders in question do have files in them, right?

Thanks for the update and your feedback here, @Zabouma. I'll make sure to pass your comments along to our team. I'm happy that you resolved your issue and if you need anything else, please let us know!

Hi @Zabouma, thanks for reaching out to us. Can you give us a bit more info on your issue? Why are you not able to upload files? Are you getting some kind of error message? If so, please send us a screenshot, so we can take a look. Also, how are you trying to upload them? From the Dropbox website? Any additional info would…

Thanks for taking the time to report this, @JonasOP. I appreciate you providing the steps you've already followed as well, that's super helpful. Can you let me know what the sync status and version of the Dropbox app is? You can see that by hovering over the Dropbox icon in your system tray. Also, do you have any…

Hey @mommycamsie, thanks for your post! And no worries at all, we'll try to figure this out together. 😊 So, if I understand correctly from the description of your request, you have your Downloads folder syncing to your Dropbox account, which is done through our backup feature. You can safely delete that backup, by…

Thanks for the update, @simonleung, and hi from me as well. Do you perhaps have any third-party apps like OneDrive or Google Drive installed? If so, can you temporarily disable/uninstall them to see if it helps? If not, try signing out of the Dropbox desktop app and then back in and let me know how it goes. Thanks!

Hi there @kentbrew, thanks for taking the time to post how it went with your case, I'm glad to see that it's resolved! You can find all our desktop app builds (along with the offline ones) in our desktop client builds page here. As for you @Namedropper, I completely understand where you're coming from. Tackling technical…

Hi from me as well, @gtaMath. Just to confirm one last thing, you did restart your computer during these re-installations, right?

We really appreciate your feedback about your experience, Rozeta. From what I can see from your ticket, your case was sent to our specialists, so I'd suggest keeping an eye on that email chain for updates from our team. They'll be able to investigate and let you know if there's something that can be done. However, if…
