You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Sprig Electron View holds up shutting down windows 10
Ever since I upgraded to Windows 10, and apparently dropbox changed from program to "app" (hate them vs. full programs), every time I shut down my computer, it sits and waits for a half minute or more for something called Sprig Electron View, and finally shuts down. Apparently this has something to do with dropbox. If I manually quit dropbox before shutting down, then shutdown works almost instantly. I want that instantly. So, what is this program, can I remove it and still use dropbox, if so, how. Or how do I get it to stop holding up the shutdown command? Thanks.
I'm unable to open Dropbox files on Windows Explorer due to OneDrive brown box icon.
Certain Dropbox files showing on my desktop cannot be opened from Windows Explorer. These files have a little brown overlay on the file icon. Dropbox support tells me this overlay is a One Drive icon and this may be causing a conflict with Dropbox. How can I resolve this (I don't use One Drive, although it is installed on my device).
My ebooks don't sync to my pocketbook Dropbox folder.
I used to be able to synchronise ebooks from dropbox on my phone to dropbox on my pocketbook. Starting from yesterday is doesn't work anymore. De pocketbook folder on my phone contains an ebook. But the folder on my pocketbook remains empty, after several times of synchronising. I have tried logging of my dropbox account on my pocketbook and starting again. But nothing helps.
Can I create an alias for my Dropbox folder on macOS?
How do I create a Dropbox folder alias in my base username directory on my Mac Mini (Sonoma MacOs)? My Dropbox folder exists as /Users/[my user name]/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox. I am starting out using GnuCash (Personal Finance App) and am trying to save the GnuCash data file to DropBox but can’t see DropBox when I click “SaveAs” button in GnuCash; all I see are locations on the local computer. When I go to Finder I do see DropBox. To save the data file to DropBox when I can’t see DropBox when I click “SaveAs” button I have been advised to create a Dropbox folder alias in my base username directory on my Mac Mini (Sonoma MacOs)Native files.app integration is buggy, doesn’t sync
Steps: 1. Install Dropbox on iOS 2. The native files.app integration is enabled by default 3. Set a folder to be available offline in the Dropbox app 4. Wait for the folder to sync 5. On another device create a file in the folder Expected: The file is synced to the mobile Dropbox app and the native files.app Actual: The file does not sync to the native files.app. You need to manually go and refresh to make that file sync. The problem this causes is when third party apps (like iawriter) try to use files synced by Dropbox, new files are missing. When edits are made to files that show up they always cause conflicts.
Wish I could use Dropbox on my Android 7 and also open my third-party app files via the website
Would be nice to have access to the previous version and install it and of course accept less latest functions. It would have been nice with a warning before so I could have disabled automatic updates! Alternatively it would be very convenient if - like in the app - after logging in to the Dropbox website via Chrome one can choose which app already installed on the unit to open the file with. Example: in a Dropbox folder I have some *.ost files used with the app OpenSongapp. This I can choose in the app but not via your website. Please enable, thanks
