Could you send us a screenshot of the exact message you're getting so that we can have a visual too @"TheOmnisis"?

Thanks for the additional information @"fooost" - much appreciated. Can you please clarify if you installed the desktop app with admin privileges in the first place giving it full access as outlined here? 

Hey @"TheOmnisis" - did you make sure your device meets the minimum requirements for the install per this page? 

Hey @"Rinconman" - thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this. When it comes to the report you mentioned, I'm afraid there's no such function at this time. 

Thanks for keeping me in the loop on this @"pawelb" Would it be OK if we sent you an email to have a further look internally at this point? 

Can you please let us know which part of the advanced reinstall is troubling you @"MountainGram"?

Hey @"misfor" - can you try moving the file out of your Dropbox folder and then back in, or renaming it?

In that case, you can reach out to our support team directly for further assistance with account and device specific information @"Melman" Let us know if you have anything else to ask or add in the meantime. 

Hey @"JuliaPonder" - sorry to hear you're having issues with this. May I ask what is the OS version of your computer, and the version and status of the Dropbox desktop app? if you're on a team account, could you ensure that the team admin has not disabled camera uploads? 

Hey @"stuey6" - sorry to hear about this. Can you clarify your device's OS version, and the version of the Dropbox mobile app installed there? Also, do you notice this when you navigate a specific folder or the photos tab? 

Hey @"ken_804" & @"saggyhaggis" - could you try a clean, advanced reinstall and let me know how it goes? 

Hey @"sekturina" - did you reinstall the app or use a different OS profile on your computer since you had applied the changes on your selective sync settings? If you're still having issues with this after rebooting your computer and quitting and relaunching the Dropbox desktop app, you might need to contact our support…

Hey @"Mirasol" - thanks for the screenshot! Could you clarify if you have more than one user profile on your computer? Also, can you try fixing your hardlinks and permissions as outlined here and let us know how it goes?

Hi there @"Y Fong" & @"Melman" - thanks for your reports. Can you please let us know approximately how many files you're syncing locally on the affected device(s)? Also, are you running any 3rd party apps that are monitoring, syncing or backing up your files? Any additional information or screenshots are more than welcome! 

I'm glad to hear it's sorted now and thanks for keeping me in the loop too, Pete. Have a lovely week ahead and see you around! 

Hey @"petemvoss" - sorry to hear about this. Can you please clarify your device's OS version, and the version of the Dropbox mobile app installed there? Have you tried clearing the app's cache and signing out and back into your account? Also, what happens when you navigate your Photos tab in the app on your iOS device? 

Glad to hear it's sorted now and thanks for keeping us in the loop too @"aliwihbi" See you around the Community and have a lovely weekend!

Have you tried quitting the One Drive app or uninstalling it completely from the affected devices @"aliwihbi"?

Hey @"dplam" - does renaming or moving them out of your Dropbox folder and back in helps improve matters at all?

Do you happen to be running any security programs on your computer like an antivirus, or a VPN/proxy setting perhaps @"pawelb"? 

Does this persist after rebooting your computer, and/or quitting and re-launching the app? 

Hey @"IvanPais" - sorry to hear about this and thanks for your feedback. Can you please clarify the version of the app, and your computer's OS version too? You can find the latest, stable one on this page. Keep us posted! 

Just hover your mouse over the app's icon in the system tray, Bruce. Let me know what you find! 

Thanks for the screenshot @"aliwihbi" The brown folder icons are not coming from Dropbox, but a 3rd party app that's running on your computer. Can you send us a screenshot of what you see in the reg-edit? Also, if you're indeed running 3rd party apps that are monitoring, syncing or backing up your files, have you tried…

How about the app's status, Bruce? Is it 'up to date' or still syncing? 

Hey @"BruceFH" - sorry to hear about your syncing issue. Can you clarify your device's OS version, and the version and status of the Dropbox desktop app as shown in your system tray? Thanks!

Hi @"ken_804" - thanks for letting us know about this. Can you please send us a screenshot of the exact error you're getting, so that we can have a visual too? Also, have you tried rebooting your computer and/or quitting and relaunching the app? 

Hey @"halfapug" - sorry to hear about this. I'm afraid if the account was deleted as you mentioned, we won't be able to help recover the account or any of the files that were stored there. I wish I had a better answer for you. 

How long has it been stuck at indexing @"Mirasol"? Can you send us a screenshot of the app's exact status, and version as shown in your menu bar, so that we can have a visual too? 

Hey @"IFRC" - thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community! While there's no such automation at the moment, perhaps you'd be interested in the data retention policies feature? Note that this is available for to Dropbox team accounts that have purchased the Data Governance Add-On. Otherwise, you might be able to…
