Dropbox StaffHi g v., how are you today?
Your feedback regarding our mobile app and its features has been very valuable, and I will endeavor to make sure your voice is heard. I will pass on your comments to the relevant departments too.
Now, as for the behavior of the app, could you send me a screenshot of the message you get when this happens? Which version of the Dropbox app, do you use on your mobile?
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
Ventura 13.0 on macbook pro M1
Dropbox 160.4.4703
Dropbox 304.2 on an iphone 13 mini ios 15.7.1 ,did not take a screen shot, but it said this often, so I don't know which files are on Dx and which not.
I cannot use the most recent Dropbox Installer Dropbox 160.4.4703.dmg, Ventura said once it is damaged and should be moved to the trash, and now does not react if I right-click or double-click the installer on the desktop.
(I read somewhere that Dropbox now forces one to keep files offline - if that is so, Dropbox would be unusable for me. I need my files locally. So if you would like to suggest that I uninstall and reinstall Dx (not again please), I need to know for sure Dx will allow me to keep 1 TB locally all the time.)
thanks
ps I did a clean install on this mac running Monterey and downloaded all online files from dropbox. Upgrade to Ventura a few days ago, Dropbox kept running file but still displayed these messages about failing to upload one or two images. Has been like this for a very long time. I just don't have the time to troubleshoot.

Hey g v., sorry to jump in, but could you provide some additional information?
Specifically, I'd need a screenshot of the desktop app's exact status as shown in your menu bar while I'd also appreciate it if you could confirm the hard drive space available on your computer.
Thanks Walter,
I have 800 GB available of 2 TB. It's not a space issue.
I work with Selective Sync to exclude some shared folders, but never Smart Sync. I never have online-only files because I need a complete regular backup of data on an external SSD.
To get a screen shot of the Dx menu bar icon, I just attached my camera (edit: iphone) via USB-C. Camera uploads started automatically, Dx menu bar icon showed camera while running, finished with no errors, back to plain Dx icon.
I will report back if I catch it.
If this is relevant, my Dropbox icon in the menu bar most shows a red exclamation mark because I use an email backup system that puts the subject as file name, thus full of emojis. It is a backup system, I cannot go in there and delete emails with emojis each time I run the backup. When I check which files had trouble syncing, it is only these pdfs, never ever ever an image. After checking, the exclamation mark goes away. Since I never found an image there, I usually leave the exclamation mark. It would be really helpful if Dx would support emojis just to be able to see relevant sync errors. But I checked often and found none.
Once I have a screen shot I will report. thanks.
