Dropbox 217.4.4417 on MacOS Sequoia 15.3 doesn't stop indexing
I installed Dropbox 217.4.4417 on a new Mac with Sequoia 15.3 OS. After logging in it never managed to pass the indexing stage. I tried the following: - Logging out and logging back in; - Uninstalling and reinstalling the application (also using advanced reinstallation); - Fixing the hardlinks as suggested here [https://www.dropboxforum.com/discussions/101001014/dropbox-stuck-indexing-files/680930]; - Giving access to full hard disk; Nothing seems to fix the issue. I can see by monitoring Dropbox via Activity Monitor that it doesn't use almost any CPU/GPU and it does not use almost any network resources. Nevertheless, the app is still saying it is "indexing". Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
Dropbox MacOS: app stuck with "Connecting Components" message on Sequoia.
Hello, My MacOS Dropbox client is stuck during on a state showing "Connecting Components", and I can't connect to the Dropbox server and access my files. When I access the Dropbox client's preferences page, I see: "Dropbox is still starting up and loading your accounts" I am using MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1 and the Dropbox Mac client is v213.4.4597 Thank you, Alan
I paid for Dropbox Plus via Apple, but my Dropbox account remains as Basic.
Hi, I’ve subscribed to Dropbox Plus and billed through Apple for many months, and recently been noticing that I’m out of storage. It seems that Dropbox is not recognizing my account as Dropbox Plus. I reached out to Dropbox customer service who pushes me to Apple to resolve the issue, and Apple pushes me back to Dropbox! Can anybody suggest what I can do? Thanks in advance!
How to download an FMPro file without having a numerical suffix added to the filename?
Is there any way to download an FMPro file in Dropbox to my Filemaker Go app without having a numerical suffix added to the filename? I want to be able to view the latest version as it exists in Dropbox. I want the new version to overwrite the version currently in FM Go.
A bunch of my files went to Zero Bytes on Mac
This issue was posted here like five years ago by a different user and the fix worked for them but I've encountered the issue now and the fix isn't working. Basically, I've got a new Mac, synced all my files from my old Mac but they're mostly showing up as Zero Bytes and they're not openable. I tried going to my preferences->Account->holding down the alt/option key and clicking "Fix Permissions". It prompts me for my computer password, I enter it, it seems to work but doesn't. So I do it again, then I receive the error message in Dropbox: "Dropbox was unable to fix permissions in your Dropbox. Please contact support if the problem persists." I'm on the basic plan, so I don't have access to proper support (bad show, guys) so I'm hoping someone can help.
Dropbox Passwörter auf iPhone und iPad
Ich nutze die Dropbox Passwords App auf dem Windows Rechner im Chrome, funktioniert hervorragend. Auf meinem iPad und auf meinem iPhone ist die app installiert und auch verbunden. Ich kann in der App meine Passwörter sehen. Ich habe in den Einstellungen die App ausgewählt und automatisch ausfüllen aktiviert. Die App ist geöffnet. Allerdings wird weder auf dem iPhone noch auf dem iPad irgendetwas automatisch ausgefüllt, weder bei der Anmeldung in einer beliebigen App, noch auf Websites im Safari Browser. Mache ich etwas falsch? Fehlt etwas? Help! Danke, Heiko
I've set my iOS camera uploads to add only new photos, but it's trying to re-upload everything.
I went from a iPhone 11 to a iPhone 16 Pro a few months ago. I backed up photos to Dropbox before I moved everything to the new phone. Had issues with the new phone and Apple had me do a full factory reset, and then I was only able to download certain (minimal) apps from my cloud, to prevent the new phone from picking up anything old that might have caused the issues. This shouldn't affect my Dropbox app, since that is a separate cloud. But now when I back up photos, it is scanning my ENTIRE library of photos, which is many years worth, it seems, and it seems to want to download all of these photos, most of which are already in my Dropbox. I went to settings to see if selecting "Back up/New photos only" would solve this issue, but it only identifies new photos as of today, not the past couple of months since I got this phone. But then I looked at what's in my Camera Uploads folder, and there are photos from as recent as early December, but not current. With my old phone, Dropbox would only grab the new photos since last upload. So what am I doing wrong here?
