Hey @"Anjo"! Yes it sounds like you're using a beta version again. Have you tried the steps I provided above in order to uninstall the app, and then turn early releases off? Did you face any issues when trying these out? If you've followed these exact steps, can you send me a screenshot of your account settings online in…

Hi there, @"mathijsw", let me jump in here! As a first step, please let me know the app's current syncing status. Also, based on the app version that you're using (243.3.6933) it sounds like you have the beta version installed instead of the stable one. That could be the culprit there. Can you try to uninstall Dropbox from…

Hey @"Enrico Molino", thanks for posting here! The time Dropbox takes to index your files can be affected by several factors. When you have a large number of files in your Dropbox folder, the app needs more memory and processing power to keep track of them. After an update, Dropbox may use more CPU and memory to sync,…

Hi there, @"Haliph"! A quick follow-up to our last message! Let us know if you still need assistance or if everything is working as expected. 

Hey @"markushaapa"! Following up to confirm whether your issue is resolved or if further support is needed. We're here to help either way.

Hey there, @"Ozfrog", let's jump right into this! Just to make sure we're aligned here, please allow me to recap. It sounds like you have some problems when trying to add someone via email to a shared file or folder, is that correct? Can you confirm if you're using these steps to share content? Are you using a public email…

Hey there, @"emihar" welcome to our Community! Based on the screenshot that you've provided, it looks like the app is still updating content, which could justify why your Backup shows as 0 bytes online. When did you download the desktop app, and how long has it been updating these 3 files for? Do you have many or large…

Hey @"rmhism", thanks for your patience! I just reached out via email, in order for us to have a closer look into this. Reply back to me, and we'll take it from there. Thanks! 

Hi there, @"AlyssaWarnock", let's jump right into this! Let's break things down. Keep in mind that if you joined a Family plan as a member and had an active paid Dropbox subscription before joining, your individual account should be automatically refunded for the prorated cost of your original plan when you joined the…

Hey @"CoreyCoop", sorry to see you're having trouble. You can see more about your connected devices here. Have you taken a look into this article with info about conflicted copies, to see if any of the reasons for their creation, sound like something that might have happened in your case? Also, have you made sure that you…

Hi there, @"CmdrLeForge", welcome to our Community! Keep in mind that if the issue persists with the Dropbox desktop app completely closed on your computer, then there must be something else causing the lag when you navigate your folders. Do you happen to have any 3rd party app that could be monitoring, syncing or backing…

Hey @"julianmagicwandstudio", let me also jump in here! I just sent you an email, in order for us to have a closer look into this. Reply back to me, and we'll take it from there. Thanks!

Hey @"rmhism"! Have you also tried the new OS step that my colleague, @"Walter" described? Also, I know it's trivial but have you tried restarting your machine at all?

Hey @"RareBreed", that'd be ideal! Please keep an eye out, and if you don't notice an improvement let me know here. This way I can reach out via email, in order for us to investigate further. Thanks a bunch! 

Hey @"chipdeblock", welcome to our Community! Let's get to it. Instinctively the first thing that comes to mind is your selective sync settings, so let's rule this one out first. Can you investigate and make sure that you haven't unchecked any folders in your selective sync settings? While we're at it, can you also let me…

Hi there, @"RareBreed", let's jump right into this! It sounds like access to your sharing was paused on your account. Have you checked this article to see what you can do next? You can also take at our "Create, Upload, and Share FAQs" here for more info. Lastly, how long has it been since you received the email and also…

Hey @"Anjo"! As a first step, please let me know the syncing status of your app. Also, based on the app version that you're using (243.3.6895) it sounds like you have the beta version installed instead of the stable one. That could be the culprit there. Can you try to uninstall Dropbox from your computer using these steps?…

Hey @"Mikey94025", thanks for posting here! How often does this happen? Is it multiple times within a day, or is it inconsistent? Have you tried disabling pwsafe to check if the issue remains? Also can you let me know more, in regards to the app's current version, and syncing status? You can find this by hovering your…

Hey @"oli1"! Just popping in to see if you've had a chance to look at our last message. Still need help? We're all ears! If the issue is sorted, let us know what worked out for you.

Hi @"mifs1", thanks for posting here today! Keep in mind that opening embedded Word documents within Excel files is not supported in the Dropbox Android mobile app. While you can open and edit Microsoft Office files (like .xlsx and .docx) directly from Dropbox using the appropriate Office mobile apps, features such as…

Hey there, @"FredG2", welcome to our Community! That sounds odd indeed. Do you have any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains? If so, could you try temporarily disable them to see if that helps? While you're at it, could you…

Hey! It looks like this idea has been closed due to inactivity. Thank you for your suggestion, and if you have another idea to share, please do!

Hey @"jjk382yahoocom", I'd be happy to investigate further. Keep in mind that it's best to check online in order to have a clear idea of your account's quota. Can you kindly check your account's plan page, and let me know what it reports? If you can send a screenshot too, that'd be welcome. It should specify what's taking…
