My guess then is number 2 has happened. But they should have uploaded over time slowly if the app was running and other…

Jeff Squad wrote:some you can save, but when you open, they become corrupted and file size is 0kb So, that sounds like they've never uploaded to Dropbox.

Excel online doesnt support Macros I'm afraid. The only way to run these would be to download to your computer if you havent got Dropbox installed, or, if you have open from inside the \Dropbox folder.

Its not an error I've ever seen. Is Dropbox running? Can you see it in the status bar at the bottom near the clock? If so what does it say if you mouse over it?

It is probably worth noting as well that Dropbox have in the past done things to cause embedding items to not work - Dropbox isnt, after all, a hosting tool or service.

You can use Dash to search for people already connected to you, but, Dropbox doesnt have a search tool to find people you are not already connected with. So Dash would find emails/messages etc. linked to them if you install it. 

Dropbox Vault has been deprecated on 4th of March: Vault termination | The Dropbox Community Unfortunately, there is no native replacement for this. If you want to encrypt files on a machine now you'd need to purchase/use a third party solution. 

I'm not aware of any software that can do this for you - everything needs to be locally on a machine to do the move. There used to be http://mover.io but that seems to have been closed down.

So if you change email addresses on an account it will update all shared folders etc. to that new email address. You and them wont need to do anything about that - it will just happen. They arent told you've changed email, but, would see the new email if they went to look at it. So, if you then want to set shares up on the…

Can you post a screenshot of the error please? It is talking about OneDrive lots which is a different service. You could also try updating the app at http://www.dropbox.com/downloading as 200.4.7123 is very out of date. 

It should just auto regenerate next time Dropbox is ran - but you may find things like Selective Sync settings need to be reset up and it will have to fully reindex everything again

You either go to the link they've sent you in email or view at http://www.dropbox.com/home - if its a Shared folder you may need to accept it via http://www.dropbox.com/share first AS LONG AS you have enough quota to do so. 

How long ago did you last log on? If it was over 12 months ago Dropbox wipes accounts for inactivity. No idea why you are still getting over account limit emails though. Are you sure you signed in to the right account? What is http://www.dropbox.com/events showing?

Yes it will work and it should be almost instant as long as the old email you want to reuse isnt part of a Business Team as sometimes they lock down emails from being reused. 

Have you checked the backups page? Thats the usual culprit. The other one is any shared folders: http://www.dropbox.com/share Can you post what you see at http://www.dropbox.com/plans ?

Just to check, all you can see is one photo at http://www.dropbox.com/home ? If so have you also checked http://www.dropbox.com/backups ?

I dont believe the mobile apps are supported anymore (in fact I'm shocked they are still listing). I am pretty sure the official line now is to use the paper website I'm afraid.

Have you got Dropbox on a different drive location to where its expecting it?

Theres a similar post regarding Windows 11 which may be worth looking at? The Dropbox desktop app is slow when navigating my Dropbox folder or viewing files on Windows 11 | The Dropbox Community 

Is it worth checking out this thread to see if its relevant? If it is post on that one to flag another person having the issue. 

That is a very, very old version of Dropbox. Try updating it via http://www.dropbox.com/downloading and then relinking it
