Hi @"sue12", thanks for bringing this to our attention. In general, if you activate two step verification, there would've been backup codes provided in order for you to save elsewhere. These would help you to log in to your account in these situations when you lose access to the verification method. Have you tried the…

Hi @"nikodschroeder", thanks for bringing this to our attention. When you mentioned that you've taken some steps to resolve this behavior, have you already tried doing an advanced reinstallation of the desktop app?

Hi @"MsDClark", prior to doing any deletion, please check that the Dropbox desktop application is linked to a normal Dropbox folder elsewhere on your machine in the preferences. Once you're certain that it isn't linked to the CloudStorage folders, and you're certain that the files in CloudStorage are old and don't need to…

Hi @"DiSharko", thanks for bringing this to our attention. Could you try reinstalling the Dropbox desktop application, without uninstalling it first, by using this link? Keep me updated with any progress!

Hi @"yuretto", thanks for messaging the Community! Just for clarification, the method used to resolve the behavior doesn't work for other distros, is that correct? This will help me to assist further!

Hi @"JAB3", thanks for messaging the Community! Currently, it isn't possible to manually change the order of files as they appear in a shared folder. However, you can change the order by adding numbers at the beginning of files with a leading zero, such as 01 test.txt, 02 abc.txt, and so on. In alphabetical order, the…

Hi @"mrrssy", thanks for bringing this to our attention. If you have a selective sync conflict, this means that you have previously deselected certain folders in the selective sync prompt. Afterwards, you manually deleted those local folders, and then later recreated the same folders under the same name. When you…

Hi @"Tim M.46", thanks for providing these details! Just for clarification, are you trying to sign out of the Dropbox desktop application, or the Dropbox site? Do you have any password manager when using your browser, which could be automatically signing you into the Dropbox site? This will help me to assist further!

Hi @"jking1", thanks for bringing this to our attention. If you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could you try an advanced reinstall of the app using the steps in this link? Keep me updated with any progress!

Thanks for the update, and I'm glad to hear that this resolved your situation with the file syncing on your device. Enjoy your week ahead!

Hi @"spinmaker", thanks for contacting us. As you've mentioned, currently Dropbox doesn't support server OSes, and as such the amount of support we can provide is limited. Are the files available locally on the device, in order for them to preview? This will help me to assist further!

Thanks for the info. If you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could you try an advanced reinstall of the app using the steps in this link?

Hi @"eludlow", thanks for messaging today! When you say you tried to download en masse, do you mean by right clicking the Dropbox folder and choosing the Available offline option? This will help me to assist further!

Thanks for the info. Have you tried contacting the support team for Synology as to what could be causing this? I'll leave this post open for other users to comment in with their suggestions.

Hi @"WhiteDwarf500", thanks for messaging the Community! As this is related to a third party application and integration, the amount of support we can provide is limited. Have you tried disconnecting the Synology app from your Dropbox account on this page, and then reconnecting it? Keep me updated with any progress!

Thanks for the info, I think it would be best to contact the support team since they have more tools and steps available to troubleshoot this matter for you. You can submit a ticket to the team via this link while logged into your Dropbox account.

Hi @"Jrocchio", thanks for providing these details! Do you have any proxy, VPN, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains? This will help me to assist further!

Thanks for the update. Once the Dropbox desktop application has finished syncing, I want you to try to make these files available offline by following these steps. This will ensure that the files are physically on your machine, in order to test if they open correctly.

Hi @"Mitz1", the green icon next to the files indicates that they are already available offline. Is this only occurring for the Excel files? Are they only for files in this folder, or does it occur for new files that you create within the Dropbox folder? Regarding the message about being out of memory, are you referring to…

Yes, delete the app first, as that is one of the steps in the advanced reinstallation. After you complete the reinstallation, the message you saw should go away.

Hi @"daniclroses", as the referrals are already marked as ineligible, then it wouldn't be possible to re-use them if they install the Dropbox desktop application on their home networks. In general, we would recommend that users activate referrals from a different network as the sender, in order to prevent this from…
