Moved to the API forum.

Best guess, the Dropbox application itself handles it, likely by calling Shell32.dll and requesting one of the overlay icons that are registered in the Registry. That being said, Dropbox has never made that information available. You would need to ask Support, though I doubt they will have an answer for you.

I've never seen a concurrent user limit mentioned.

There are no such commands. Dropbox uses an encrypted database on the local computer to store its information. There are no commands or utilities that can be used to access that information.

Unless you decide to side-load applications on to your Kindle, you're limited to the apps found in the Amazon store, and unfortunately, Dropbox is not in the Amazon store. Side-loading is not a supported method (by Amazon, Dropbox or Google).

I've just spoken with a contact within Dropbox and they tell me that this is a known bug and that they're currently working on a solution. I'll post more if and when I get it.

It's quite simple actually. Create a new computer user account, log in to the computer as that user, then install Dropbox as you normally would. You cannot have two separate Dropbox accounts running under a single computer user account unless one of those is a Dropbox for Business account.

The Dropbox folder on your local drive contains a hidden folder that is used for syncing and for the temporary storage of deleted files. Because of this, your local Dropbox folder will almost always be larger than the space reported as used online.

Looking at a few other posts from Dropboxers in the past, there is no method to move the Dropbox folder from the command line.

You can move the Dropbox folder to another location (though I don't know if it's possible via command line) but the folder itself will always be called Dropbox.

People have been asking for this for years. It's unlikely to happen, unfortunately.

Tell them to check the Teams page. Also, does that mean you can only belong to one team? I believe that's the case, yes.

As it states, they are already a member of a team. They'll need to leave that team before they can be invited into another.

Browser specific, maybe (wild guess)? What browser are you using?

I just click the "Name" header and it sorts back to folders on top, then files. This is for both the new interface (which shows "Members") and the old, preferred, interface (which shows "Shared with").

You can't. Dropbox will always add and/or start the update process as it sees fit.

Just downgrade your account the day after subscribing and you won't be auto-renewed. You'll remain a Pro subscriber until the end of your current term (monthly or yearly) and at that point you'll be downgraded back to Basic automatically with no further charges.

The preview page displays a lower resolution image by design. It's simply a preview. If you need to see the file in its original quality, you need to download the file and open it on your computer.

That's a Windows error code. Google it and you'll likely get a lot of hits.

Sounds like the Dropbox client is trying to update itself but failing, then continuing to try again repeatedly. Something must be preventing the update from succeeding. The "Up to date" message isn't referring to your client version, but the sync status of your files. The latest releases are 15.4.22 for stable and 16.3.27…
