  • A google search yielded this result https://www.multcloud.com/tutorials/sync-google-photos-to-dropbox-6289.html I have no personal knowledge of it and its use. However, I would personally use the download to your computer and then upload via the Dropbox client just as @"Mark" mentioned. Its robust and can make sure…

  • @"BSP" There is a non native way to do this, look at the app TripMode https://www.tripmode.ch Its $7.99 and comes in Mac and Windows flavors. A free trial is available too. I have no experience with the developer. ---- If this has helped you, please Kudo this post. If it has solved your issue please ✓ Accept as Solution.
  • @"davdlukinuk" When you change a user name etc. its necessary to do an advanced reinstall becuase of old files remaining in place. Take note of this help topic and I would encourage you to read it a few times before attempting it. Specifically the portions about selective sync and upon the re install locating the Dropbox…
  • Don't forget your data is transmitted encrypted and must be decrypted. That happens on the drive, along with checks to make sure the enitre file reaches you. It will take some time. Dropbox will never use the complete full download bandwidth. It also is affected by you using other things, like mail, web etc during those…
  • The files are broken up into 4 MB chunks (as they are called), indexed or categorized, then uploaded to the servers. So any files having the blue syncing icon are in fact sycning, or being prepared to sync. They are also uploaded smallest to largest. https://www.dropbox.com/help/406 ---- If this has helped you, please Kudo…

  • I am afraid it has been like this for quite a number of years now. I wouldn't expect it to change anytime soon. Your not starting over, simply invite the new email address or rather the correct address to the already established shared folder/file. ---- If this has helped you, please "kudo" this post. If it has solved your…
  • Can you tell me the actual file type and how long it is roughly. I’ll see if I can duplicate the issue with a video of my own. I may not be able to as I am on an X and on the latest beta OS as well. But I’ll give it a shot. Oh one other thing to consider is. Has the video completely upload to the server ? I assume yes…
  • Remember files are not local to the device unless you enabled off line file viewing. The video may be trying to download. My suggest is make sure your on WiFi and try it again. Also remember Dropbox only alows viewing of 15 minutes of a video when streaming. https://www.dropbox.com/help/photos-videos/video-length Longer…
  • Are you on a Mac by chance ? If so "Revisions for Dropbox" on the App Store can connect to your Dropbox account and it is able to download a file to a different location on your Hard Drive. I have no affiliation with the developer, I do own the app, though I purchased it a long time ago. I don't find it the easiest to use.…
  • I just gave it a shot myself, and I also did not find a way to remove myself from a document. Also, I did not find anything using the keyboard shortcuts. Seems to me like this is a huge spot for improvement. Though I could have missed it. I would not expect a answer from the Dropboxer's if its a yet to be implemented…
  • Hey Vickyshe Look under the opening post for the next in line. It will be tagged as solved. Here is a direct link https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Installation-and-desktop-app/Solved-Dropbox-installed-on-my-mac-but-it-won-t-open-and-other/m-p/6488/highlight/true#M1687 If its helpful to you, please kindly use the kudo button…
  • Unforuntaly, simply saying I have the same issue, doesnt give us much to go on. Can you please tell us what steps you have taken ? if any ? Results of said troubleshooting steps ? The thread is 5 pages long and there is already some great advice in it. Further more what OS are you using? Not all of us helping out here use…

  • I have always had to use a 3rd party app. * Note it has been some time since my need to open one. 
  • Otto, You don't receive an email with the code, the code is generated and displayed on your screen during the setup process. You needed to print it out during the setup process. I don't expect much hope, I am sorry to say. You can contact support and ask for potential solutions. I would only expect you to move everything…
  • Teresa, My best suggestion call your provider, have them move your number to a new phone. Which would allow you to receive the sms.
  • If you are on Yosemite : System Preferences > Extensions > Finder (subsection) > Dropbox >Un tick the check box
