@"Allan G." wrote:Dropbox isn't any smarter than your file manager. When using the local Dropbox folder on your computer, this is true, but when uploading through the Dropbox website, it doesn't work the same as Explorer or Finder.

59.4.93 is a very old version. The latest stable version is 79.4.143. Have you tried updating to the latest version?

When viewing files on the Dropbox website you're not viewing the original. You're viewing a transcoded preview of the original file. The conversion process is rarely perfect and can often times create undesired results, especially in videos. The preview is not intended to be used to stream the original file. It's just a…

@"daintria" wrote:i think mine is "S" mode, does that matter? Yes, it matters. The options listed above are part of the Dropbox desktop app, and do not exist in the S mode app, which is bascially the same as a mobile version of Dropbox.

@"MikeTyrrell" wrote:Instead you turn on smart sync and it seems like nothing changed. You try and delete your local folder and it wants to delete your online folder - dumb. You set a file or folder as Online-only, and you're done. There's no need to delete the local files because the files are already removed from your…

Use a mail client that allows you to export email, and you can already save it to Dropbox. Otherwise, this would be on your chosen mail client to accomplish; not…

The original question was actually referring to large folders, not single files. They mention having to share them one at a time as trying to do so with folders that are too large or have too many files was failing. The only way to move files between accounts is by sharing a folder between them, and then moving the files…

@"Emails2Me" wrote:I see that box.com is similar and can do this. Yes, for Business accounts. The feature is not available to Starter or Personal accounts.

@"Fluffmeister1" wrote:I think the problem is that the article about sharing assumes that I'm the one doing the sharing, and tells me how I can unshare. The help article I linked to above explains how you can remove a shared folder that you're a member of. Refer to the section titled Permanently remove a folder.

Did you remove your access to the share, or simply delete the folder? * https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/share/leave-shared-folder

It would be best to describe the exact problem as it relates to you. Saying "same problem" isn't always accurate because your configuration may be different from the original author. For instance, the original author is talking about using Selective Sync, Smart Sync and an external drive. What, exactly, is the problem…

That's something that you'd need to ask Microsoft. Dropbox will sync any files you put it in. Whether or not OneNote supports Dropbox or allows you to save the files in Dropbox is something that only Microsoft can answer. [This thread is now closed by moderators due to inactivity. If you are experiencing a similar issue,…

That doesn't sound like a setting for Camera Uploads. On iOS it's simply an On/Off slider. I suspect it's similar on Android. Remember, you do this within the Dropbox app. Not within your phone's Settings/Permissions. Follow the help article that Mark posted, or tell us the type of phone you have.

@"sniper200478" wrote:There are no files in it. When i try to delete it, says: it's not empty. If Windows is telling you it's not empty, then it's not empty. Do you have hidden and system files visible? It could be that there are hidden files in the folder that you can't see.

@"hshaw" wrote:In my case, there isn't a PC involved. The PC doesn't matter. The point was that I see the files on a PC because Windows isn't configured to hide such files, like OS X or macOS do natively. It's still the Mac that's creating them. They're system files created by OS X and macOS.

@"JefW" wrote:... when I uncompressed the zip file, there was an ADDITIONAL folder named "__MACOSX" - when I opened that, there was a repeat of the [files/folders], but the file names were changed (most had underscores in them). Just to point it out for the Mac users that may not be aware, but this is pretty common when a…

And just to add ... @"geirgeir" wrote:My partner tries to upload big files to my Dropbox Plus. He gets the warning that he does not have enough space on HIS Dropbox. Your partner isn't uploading files to your Dropbox. He's uploading them to a folder on his Dropbox, which happens to sync to your Dropbox as well.

@"ScreenMachine" wrote:... I don't know whether Lightroom will try to download the entire photo library as preview, or only do it on-demand when I actually try to edit a file as opposed to just viewing the film-strip.

@"Sam242" wrote:Why doesn't DropBox make a version that can run as a service? Because Dropbox has never intended for it to be used in that manner. It has always been meant as an application for one individual; not run as a service or be installed on server-based operating systems. Can it be done? Sure, but it's not on…

@"ScreenMachine" wrote: - can you set sync settings at a folder or file level? Smart Sync is set at the file and folder level, per computer. You can set any file or folder as Online-only or Local, on each computer independently. - what’s the best way to do the initial upload? I’m guessing I set the account/folder on the…

@"ScreenMachine" wrote:is it possible to use Smart Sync to have mainly online files (accessible on demand) on the Mac's Dropbox, and local/online files on the PC Dropbox (which I can also locally backup), or have I misunderstood what SmartSync can achieve? Yes, that's possible. Smart Sync settings are specific to the…

@"mlp42" wrote:I'm using the mobile desktop version (Dropbox for S mode), I can make files available offline but not folders. Any ideas why? That feature is only available on iOS and Android devices.

It is NEVER advised to nest folders from different syncing services. It can cause problems with the sync, and in some (extreme) cases, data loss. If you need to move data from one service to the other and don't want to download/upload, use a third-party service such as Mover.io or Multcloud to do the transfer for you.

Remember to do the math before you compare the reported speeds in Dropbox to your speed tests. While most ISPs and speed test sites display their results in bits (kilo or mega), the speeds reported by Dropbox are in bytes. Be sure to do the conversion before comparing. Your 800KB/s transfer speed is approximately 6.4Mb/s.…

Interesting. That option wasn't listed in the version I have. Could be a difference in the beta, or maybe account type.
