"No internet connection" error on my PC Dropbox - won't finish installing
Since the middle of August I've been having problems with my dropbox on my 3 devices not syncing. Now I've lost dropbox from my pc laptop. I've uninstalled, rebooted computer, reinstalled. It won't finish installing. Keeps saying I have no internet connection of my computer is offline. Neither is true. I've only used half of my 2gb. I have dropbox basic, as that is all I need. I only use dropbox for knitcompanion. I need a working dropbox for knitcompanion. Help. I can't fix this.
Is there a workaround for files with unsupported characters that don't sync?
Hi I'm aware that there are restriction on windows filepath characters that drop box does allow. I have access to a dropbox which I want to download using the desktop app so that the file modified date is preserved (Doesnt seem to be on the website downloads). Unfortunately a couple of the folders names in the dropbox have colons in so those folders don't download. Is there any work around to this (e.g. an option to substitute characters in the download paths that windows encounters and doesnt like) or some other way to download the individual files (which dont have colons in their name) and preserve the modified date. I dont have any access/permissions to change the folder names in dropbox itself Many thanks
