Oops, my mistake. But at least my comment might be of value to Windows users.

On Windows you can change the location of your Desktop and Documents folders. Right click on the folder and select the Location tab. Then change the location to somewhere under your Dropbox folder and click Move. First do that on one machine, let the files sync to the other machine, then merge anything in the Documents and…

And again with inaccurate terminology ... the option is "Early access", not "early releases". Being precise matters.

I will say that there are many things wrong with how Dropbox communicates ... one of them, I now see, is that it does not inform the user that they are using a beta version when it starts up and does not ask if they want to switch to the release version. I have no recollection of when I set that early release option or…

No, I have no reason or interest in doing that at this point. My Dropbox will be syncing for an estimated 17 hours more ... I'll comment further if I encounter a problem.

I gather that you mean the "Default state for new sync files" setting, not the "Storage of new files" setting. Given my experience with Dropbox it's not surprising that their staff doesn't use the correct terminology for their software. I won't bore you with my Dropbox war stories, including trying to configure it on my…

Windows 11, Dropbox 206.3.6386 Selective Sync is of course the first item on the Sync tab. There isn't actually a "selective sync option", there's a Select Folders button.

"the Storage of new files setting in Preferences on the Dropbox application" There's no such setting.

You have to hold down alt-H, like it says.

The issue is that Dropbox arbitrarily doesn't do camera uploads for hours, days, possibly ever. The best response from Dropbox is to fix their software so it does. The next best response is to inform customers that they can trigger an upload by opening the Dropbox app on the phone and tap the Photos tab. The lousy support…

Kindlebox was abandoned by its developer over two years ago.

FYI, when someone refers to "my Kindle", they invariably mean an Amazon E Ink device designed to read books, not the so-called "Kindle Fire", which is a totally different device (an inferior tablet that Amazon's marketing department slapped the Kindle name on, which I'm sure didn't please the Kindle product people).

"let's see into this together!" Cut the patronizing ******. I've been writing software for over 50 years and can "see into this" just fine. "As per your last query" Which you didn't read. Again: "Dropbox has said for years that performance "declines" if you have more than 300,000 files ... they have never explained why and…

"There's no way to speed up any of Dropbox's processes. All you can do is just let it work." This is the standard response to the fact that Dropbox is a buggy piece of ******. A properly implemented sync client does not take hours to start, then turns red and says that it can't access my Dropbox folder and asks for my…
