my desktop app stopped working, when I click the home icon it continually says "connecting components" without ever getting there. any changes I make to files on my desktop are not visible in the online webpage or on the app on other devices. I have deleted and reinstalled the program multiple times to no avail. I am running macOS Sonoma 14.5 and the current dropbox installation is version 204.4.5420.288Views0likes2CommentsI can't use Shift + delete for my folders due to new "delete for everyone" pop-up message.
I am unable to shift+delete any folder inside my dropbox folder so I can skip the recycling bin. This seems to be connected to this new popup about asking if I'm sure I want to delete for everyone. Which is very strange, because this is NOT in a folder I've shared with anyone else. Any ideas on how to fix this? Or how I can report this to Dropbox directly?5Views0likes1CommentHow to sync folders from Dropbox online to my desktop app?

I've tried many time, but I just not able to sync my Dropbox Folder over a new Windows (and Dropbox) installation in my PC in a preexistent hard drive with my Dropbox Folder. So, I have to download, again, all my files for a hard drive that already has my Dropbox folder... Than, I have to deleted the previous synced folder. Please, any help?Solved55Views0likes5CommentsCan I have multiple Dropbox accounts on one device?
I currently use the Dropbox desktop app with one account, syncing sticker WhatsApp group files seamlessly. However, I also have a second Dropbox account, and I’m wondering if it’s possible to log into both accounts on the same device via the Dropbox installer. How can I switch between accounts, or is there a way to manage both without needing to log out and back in? I'm using personal accounts, not part of a team, and I want to keep both accounts synced for different projects. Could anyone guide me through this process?15Views0likes1CommentWhy do I need to sync my files manually on the desktop app?
I have stopped automatically downloading videos to my Mac. Folders appear in the finder and videos are also visible, but to download I need to try to open each one separately so that the download starts. What could be the problem?48Views0likes7CommentsAdd .dropboxignore directory to exclude folders without using selective sync
Please please please can you add a feature that allows folders to be excluded from the Dropbox account (on windows and mac). For sure I'm not the first person to request this, but I'm yet to find a good explanation of why it's not there. A quick google search reveals loads of people also looking for the same feature. I really like the workflow I have with dropbox, but it's getting to the point where I might switch providers in order to allow better selective sync. I've seen hackish solutions using selective sync, but it would be great if this could be done in one of the following ways: - global pattern matching eg "node_modules" - a marker file in the directory like .dropboxignore - a simple right click context menu "Ignore this folder" Other than that, keep up the good work.
