218 TopicsOpening the Dropbox folder enables Num Lock.
Hi, I have a weird little problem. Every time I open the Dropbox folder (double click on the icon on the task bar), there's a Windows notification popping up that Num Lock has been enabled. This only started happening after I upgraded my Windows 10 to 11. Any ideas how to fix this?Solved430Views4likes29CommentsHow to expand left sidebar width on the website?
How can I expand the left sidebar width. I have many levels of files and I can not see the names of folders that I want to move files into. As you can see below, all I can see is the first letter of the folder "A" and there are several of them. I want to be able to expand the left sidebar so I can see the names of those folders and not just the first letter. I was able to do it before, but not now for some reason.

I've had no problems in the past with my Dropbox App on my PC (basic account), and it was great because I got notifications when a client uploaded something. For some reason (and it was after I installed Carbonite) my app wasn't loading. Every time I tried to reload it, it asked me to sign in, and then it showed the error "Couldn't complete sign in. Please try again. " I have uninstalled Dropbox and reinstalled several times, and it gives me the same error. I'm able to use my phone app just fine, just not on the PC. I have paused Carbonite as well as Norton but that doesn't seem to help either. I don't have Bitdefender or anything else loaded. Can anyone help? I'm about to chuck the computer out the window and retire!Solved6.3KViews0likes32CommentsFile preview and right-click menu options gone on macOS Sonoma
The operations manager disabled linking personal and business drop boxes on the same computer and now I’ve lost offline file previews and right click menus. Can some help me get them back? Every file preview just shows “zero bytes” and no preview. (Mac OS Sonoma)30Views0likes1CommentMac 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 Sequoia? I admit, I'm quite anxious and would appreciate some reassurance from the DropBox team. Thanks.11KViews8likes67CommentsHow to get my files from my old computer to my new one?
I got a new computer. I downloaded dropbox. But it's as if it's a new account. Not asking me to sign in so it can sync all my info. I thought this was the email I used on the other computer but apparently not. If I log out and go to log in, it uses the new info. Not sure how to get all my info from the old computer to this one.48Views0likes1CommentAre there "lightweight" alternative dropbox clients?
I would like to sync just a single folder to one of my PCs, and am wondering if there are any lightweight "mini" dropbox clients capable of doing that? I know I can use selective sync in the big dropbox client, but it's quite large and this box is resource constrained. It's a Windows client. Thanks!Solved1.9KViews1like3CommentsDropbox app is stuck on "starting" endlessly.

Not sure if this is the right subject area, but I need some help please? Been using DropBox for a few years now. Currently have an old Imac, an old MacBook Air running (Sierra) and a new MacBook Air (running Ventura 13.3), I use DropBox to back up all my work files - mostly word docs. On the new mac my files are saving to DropBox but not syncing with DropBox, so I can see them but they are not syncing on my old Macs, or with anyone sharing the folders. Causing untold issues. And I can't see a DB icon on the menu bar. Have just updated the OS on the MacBook Air, but still can't get it to work? Can anyone advise please? THank you!Solved9.1KViews0likes12Commentssmashed phone cost me DB access
I have earned referral GBs over the years and now have 11 free GB on account A. Account B is the plain basic free plan, don't use it much anymore. I had account A on macbook, mobile and Tablet - for 10 years I have account B on macbook - for 7 years I dropped my phone and had to buy a new one. Signing in to DB on the new one I was told I had to reduce the number of free users to max 3 or pay 99DKK/month. I logged out of DB on the smashed phone Logging into the new phone gave me the same answer. It all worked great until I smashed my phone. Why no longer?Solved31Views0likes2Comments
