Hi @"Theresa", thanks for your response! What I find very useful about Dropbox is its almost fully transparent (unnoticable), near-instant sync. I've been on OneDrive for a while (when Dropbox started charging me for the service). OneDrive sync is generally, objectively very awful, but compared to Dropbox, it's abysmal.…

Solution is stable after reboot.

Found a solution, though no explanation: In HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer, there's a subkey \Desktop\Namespace, with GUID-named keys for top-level items in the navigation pane. I found a key for OneDrive there, and two keys for Dropbox. Deleted the duplicate Dropbox key, restarted File Explorer,…

Thanks for the response, @"Rich" ! See the screenshot above. There are two expandable Dropbox folders in the navigation pane. Both expand to the same set of subfolders, which is also shown in the right panel because the first Dropbox folder is selected. Not shown: When I open Properties for either Dropbox folder, they both…

 

I've some 30K files, for 120GB of data. Initial sync took a while, until I came to my senses and repurposed my Boxifier folder as cloud version of the NAS. Then it proceeded fairly quickly, couple of hours at most.

I'm not comfortable exposing my NAS files to the internet (except to sync with Dropbox), and appreciate the convenience of accessing my Dropbox through their apps. Also, I want both because I want at least two copies of my files to exist in separate locations.

Yeah, @"Wrangler" : The Boxifier team recommended I downgrade Dropbox as well (I've had nothing but positive experiences communicating with their team over the years). But downgrading the primary app while I wait for Boxifier to catch up with them, only makes sense to me when there is a clear expectation of when they…

Dear @"Razvan Boxifier" , I've been in touch with Christine of your team quote often. However, there seems to be very little progress on the Cloud API support front. An update that should fix the missing sync icons was announced by Christine to drop within a week; that was a month ago, In the meantime, issues between…

Hi Razvan, will the compatibility update address the issues that arose with the Dropbox move to the Windows cloud API? I'm experiencing a major and a minor issue: * Major: Boxifier seems to be re-indexed by Dropbox on a weekly basis now, a process which involves both uploading and downloading all my Boxified content. This…

Hi @"Nancy" , thanks! Is there a way to post feature suggestions?

Is there a way to do feature suggestions?

Hi @"Megan" , Please be aware that there's a difference between Available Offline (white icon with green border; local file may be deleted by Dropbox to save space) and Always Available Offline (green icon; local file will never be deleted by Dropbox). All my files and folders currently have the white-with-green-border…

Hi @"Hannah" , thanks for your response. I've tried it with two small folders, like I said. And like I said, it triggers a full re-index. Small potatoes for two small folders, but another 2-3 days of re-indexing for my entire Dropbox content. I've just tried it with a 300MB folder with subfolders. Making it Online Only…

Hi @"Megan" , the process finally completed, so the current syncing status is Up to date. But this took more than two days, in which all the content in my Dropbox seems to have been downloaded and re-indexed. During the process, the status indicator on the Dropbox showed variations of "1,031 files indexing, 14 files…

Is there a page that simply lists the latest stable build? I'd expect to be able to go to a certain page either here or in Dropbox Support, and bam, the version number of the current stable build(s) is right there. Ideally, that page would link to (right now) this one. All I've been able to find is the parent page of this…

Well hello, Megan! Apologies, I never got a notification that you'd replied. Dropbox is installed on my Windows 11 desktop machine, a single installation. This installation, on this device (on which I'm typing this) is the only device and Dropbox instance syncing with this particular folder. (In fact, I'm the only Dropbox…

My Dropbox is reporting multiple sync issues, with some 20 files and folders. The Sync Issues window lists them all. Some, when I click them, open Explorer in the location where they are. Others take me by default to My Documents, because Dropbox can apparently not find them. Is there any way to determine the full path to…

Color me embarassed. I use Boxifier, and Boxifier has an actual option 'Block Dropbox updates'. All good now.
