Hi @"Michael F.43", have you marked the folder itself to be available offline, in addition to the setting in the Dropbox desktop application?

Hi @"Andojovi", If you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could you try uninstalling the app, rebooting the device, and re-installing it to see if this helps?

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 @"MetalAlan", you'd need to amend the registry order by adding spaces before the Dropbox entries, so that they appear above the OneDrive entries in the list.

Hi @"evaapo", thanks for the info. In order to look into this matter in more detail, I'd recommend contacting the support team directly for them to investigate further.

Hi @"stephbg", thanks for bringing this to our attention. When your account is over quota after you downgrade, it isn't possible to add, edit or move any files in your account, since these changes wouldn't sync. The only option would be to delete files from your account to free up quota, or to upgrade. Regarding your…

Hi @"Lindanew", thanks for bringing this to our attention. Do you know if you've activated the Dropbox Backup feature? You can check this by viewing this page on your account. This will help me to assist further!

If you rename the files slightly, like adding a letter or number, do they sync?

Do you have any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?

Thanks for the image, what is the current status of the Dropbox desktop application when you click the icon in the menu bar?

Hi @"gammaray79", could you attach a screenshot showing the sync icon you're seeing next to the files that aren't syncing in Finder?

Thanks for the info. In general, only the automatic camera upload feature will automatically rename the photos into the date format. Manually uploading images will not rename the files, and will change the modification date to the time of the upload itself.

Hi @"Kashiwa14", when uploading images or video, what is the exact option you're choosing to upload in the mobile app? Are you selecting the 'Upload photos' option or the 'Upload files' option?

Hi @"chadbosemanuniversity", thanks for bringing this to our attention. The Dropbox cache folder should only contain a few files as it is used during the syncing process. It also automatically empties after three days. You can try copying the files out of the folder to another location to see if you can recover any of…

Hi @"anikin", thanks for bringing this to our attention. Are you using a brand new Dropbox account, or an existing account? What do you have currently on this page? This will help me to assist further!

In general, the modification dates of folders vary, according to this section of the article my colleague posted. Currently, there isn't a method to keep the modification date of folders the same across all devices. 

Hi @"Paul D.4", as this thread has progressed for some time, and that the issue seems to have changed, could you clarify exactly what issue you're experiencing at this moment, and require assistance with?

Do you see 'Other' when clicking this option?

Hi @"Joaniemn", thanks for bringing this to our attention. As this is related to sensitive billing info, we do recommend getting in contact with our support team directly to look into this matter in more detail. The steps to do so are by opening an incognito/private browsing window, while not signed into any account, and…

If it's from a team folder, then you won't be able to keep a copy for security purposes. You'll need to duplicate the folder to another private folder on your account, or download the folder to your machine.

Hi @"SW72", could you try switching browsers to see if this helps when following these steps? Otherwise, you can try using incognito/private browsing mode without any extensions running, clearing your cache and even resetting your browser entirely.

Hi @"Brab", thanks for the details. Is the other user the owner of the folder, or is it a separate person entirely? Only the owner of the folder can provide the option to keep a copy of the shared folder when a member is removed. Keep me posted.

Thanks for the info. If it does contain the 'Date Captured' metadata specifically in the video, which is what the automation is looking for, and it doesn't have the correct date when added to the folder, I'd recommend contacting the support team directly for them to investigate this matter further. 

Hi @"BMG6800", just for clarification, is this a shared file you're referring to, or a shared folder?

Hi @"cjing1", have you tried marking the entire folders as available offline instead of each individual file?

Hi @cdavignon, thanks for bringing this to our attention. Does this occur for any file, or only in specific folders? This sounds like it could be related to Microsoft Office files, since that program does create similar files in case of an unexpected error to restore the missing files. Any other info would be helpful!

Hi @"lanasays", are you able to upgrade immediately from this page when logged into your admin account?
