Hi @"lukaszwolenski", let me jump in here! Are you using a Mac or a Windows device? Also, what is the exact error you get when you try to re-download files locally? If you could send me a screenshot, that'd be very helpful. Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

Hi @"chicagojami", the backup will be over once you no longer see the "Backuping up" message on your screen. In regards to background uploading, you can have a look at another colleague's detailed explanation in this thread. But overall when the app has to sync many files, it helps to keep it open, in order for it to keep…

Hi @"Nancyp1", would it be okay for me to send you an email, in order for us to have a closer look into this? 

Hey @"TERGUS", thank you for reaching back to us. I hope you enjoyed your weekend! It isn't currently possible to download files that are that large via the web interface.

Hey @"jhedleyj", while you're at it, you might also want to leave the Beta testing and after that install the stable version of the app. I'll be waiting for your updates.

Hi @"chicagojami", I hope you're doing well! Did you use camera uploads to sync your files, or did you choose to manually upload them? If you went with the first option you need to keep in mind that initially the number of pictures will go up, as the app calculates how many they are to be uploaded. That'll indicate the…

Hi @"gibbonsl", amazing job with the added info! Can you send me a couple of screenshots of the syncing icons your files have, by any chance? Also, feel free to add a few screenshots of the option you choose in the context menu, in order for me to have a visual of the process you follow. Thanks again! 

Hi @"Michael Gyori", happy Thursday! At the moment, we don't a feature that's able to do exactly what you ask. The best way to go on about it, would be to reach out to the developers of the API, and ask for a possible workaround, until they roll out the official solution. Also, the thread remains open for others to suggest…

Hi @"STUOS", you mentioned the app is syncing again. Could you send me a screenshot of the app's current syncing status and/or any network error message that you're seeing on your end? Thanks!

Hi @"x184926", you're great, thanks for this! Is there any possibility that you've opted-out of the Dropbox system extension? Can you try the steps mentioned in this Help Center article, and report back to me with your results? 

Hi @"Anlaila", I would like for you to locate your Dropbox icon, next to your WiFi and hover your mouse there. Once you do, can you let me know the version of the app that's currently installed on your device, along with its syncing status? We need to make sure you're not using the beta version of the app, because this…

You can see this by hovering your mouse over your little Dropbox icon, that's on your menu bar next to your WiFi icon. Let me know more, and we'll take it from…

Hey there, @"GB13", I'd be more than happy to help! Have you tried requesting for a verification email, using a different browser other than the one you currently use?

Hi anonymous, sorry to hear about that, let me help! Are you trying to download the content from our website when you see this error?

Hey @"klegreid1", let's jump right into this! First of all, let me say that since you're using a paid plan, you should have access to our live support. You can find more about it right here.
