I'm trying to show all files with the .kbdx file extension. First I tried the search built into the Dropbox system tray presence, but it returned no results. Then I logged in through the website and searched again, and still no results. Panic really start to set in, because that's my keepass password manager file extension. If I manually go to a directory where I know one is, it's there. Why isn't search working, and how do I turn it back on?8Views0likes1CommentOnline-only not working in Surface Pro 11 (Snapdragon version)
Recently I went back to Dropbox having read that it now works with Snapdragon Windows versions, but currently I have a significant issue. I cannot have any online-only file in my SP11, thus I cannot have all Dropbox files in my device. I have this in the main DP screen: Then I go to "Manage hard disk space", select folders and make online-only. In less than a second I get the message they are online-only, but they aren't. Any idea how to solve this? Thanks in advance.126Views0likes9CommentsThe Dropbox app doesn't show the same shared files between colleagues.
Hello everyone, in my Dropbox account I do have an Excel file shared with my colleagues: I can view/edit normally on Dropbox app with the same my account logged in, my colleagues can view/edit the file on Dropbox through the PC but the problem is they cannot see the same file AT ALL on their Dropbox app with theirs same acounts logged in. Is anybody having the same issue or had the same issue and solved it? Many thanks in advance!22Views0likes1CommentFile opened "x minutes ago" when I didn't open it?
I was looking for a file I'd accessed on my phone, but was having a struggle seeing files based on how recently I'd accessed them so I tried on the web client instead I was shocked to see various flags of files being opened within the last hour that I hadn't accessed! I checked the files and they were only shared/accessable to me, not to anyone else.. I quickly changed my password and removed a slew of older devices I'd used to access Dropbox. The next morning (now) I've opened the web client again, and more random files that aren't shared with anyone else are still showing as being accessed seemingly "on their own" Can someone shed some light on this behaviour?6.6KViews0likes27CommentsI installed the Dropbox app, but my files aren't syncing to my web account.
I have installed the Dropbox app on my new Windows laptop. However, my files on the new laptop are not syncing with my Dropbox account and so I cannot access them from my Dropbox web account. What can I do to correct this? Thank you.53Views0likes7CommentsOpening 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?281Views3likes21CommentsJPG Files don't display in File Explorer Preview Pane
I found I had the same issue as this person... JPG Files don't display in File Explorer Preview Pane | The Dropbox Community Any JPGs in my dropbox would not show up in my Windows 10 File Explorer preview pane. All other folders on my PC worked fine. Copied the JPGs from my Dropbox folder to any non-dropbox location and they worked fine. SOOOO As per the suggestion in the above mentioned post, I deleted dropbox, reinstalled it, and re-sync'd all the same files. They work fine now. A pain, and no reason why this happens, but I wanted to share incase others run into this.11Views0likes1CommentFile 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)13Views0likes1Comment
