The new macOS Tahoe is arriving. Is Dropbox ready this time?
Will Dropbox be ready in advance for the macOS Tahoe update? Or do we need to wait and see what breaks this round? We all remember the fun with the last two macOS releases - and “fun” is putting it mildly. Have there already been issues? Can someone please speak up - before it’s too late? For now, I’m holding off the…

Mac OS Sequoia is arriving. Is DropBox ready?
Hi everyone, who remembers the chaos that happened last year with the Mac OS Sonoma update and all the issues we had with DropBox? There was a particular version that caused syncing to go haywire. I remember it all too well, as it took us almost a month to figure out how to fix the problem. What will happen with Mac OS…

Image appears to be corrupted
Hi everyone, for the first time I find myself managing a seemingly corrupted file synced on DropBox. It's a small, low-resolution image, fortunately not essential and also saved elsewhere.

Upload speed is rather slow despite FTTH fibre optics
Good morning, I've recently moved and am now the proud owner of an FTTH fibre optic Internet connection. I just ran a speed test, and my download speed is at 30 MB/S, while upload speeds have reached up to 9 MB/S. However, when I use Dropbox to sync my files, the speeds are significantly lower. For example, the other day I…

Clients are complaining about a barely visible link to download the files in a DropBox Transfer
Good morning, I've been using Dropbox Transfer for at least a couple of years now, preferring it over WeTransfer to send my completed work to clients. Until some time ago, everything was fine, and the clients received everything without any problems. Recently, however, my clients are struggling to find the link to download…

I have two Dropbox folders in the CloudStorage folder on Mac OS, which is live?
Good morning, I need confirmation before proceeding with a deletion. Within the Library > CloudStorage folder on my Mac, I've found a duplicate Dropbox folder. One appears to be current, while the other seems to be an old version from last year. Before removing it, I'd like to make sure my assumption is correct. Could you…

Best way to prevent Mac from going into sleep mode while uploading new files via the desktop app?
Hi everyone, I need to transfer several hundred GB to my online storage. What is the best way to keep the computer running, but without keeping the screen active?

Incorrect data transfer prediction
Hi everyone, I'm moving hundreds of gigabytes to DropBox. However, from what I see on the top bar of DropBox on my Mac, the calculation of the amount of data to move is happening slowly. To clarify, I have been seeing roughly the same time estimate for completion since this afternoon. However, it's like DropBox keeps…

Images previews are too small on Mac
Hi everyone, is there a way to increase the preview size of "online only" files? I'm asking because sometimes the thumbnail doesn't allow me to understand what the file is without downloading it. Thanks!

How upload external HD content without download the files on the PC
Hello, before purchasing a space on DropBox I used for years some external Hard Disks. Now I'd like to upload those files (1 or 2 TBytes) on my DropBox space, but directly on the account by the browser to avoid to copy them on the PC first. Last but not least I'd like to set them directly with "online" view, to avoid that…
