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.
Is beta build 212.3.5724 the latest?
Just as the program flashes automatically after installation and reinstalls, if you mouse over the icon, it is versioned up to 213.3.4480, which seems to be why the program continues to shut down. Is there a way to force it to go up to 213.3.4480?? And Windows 10 version was recently 21H, but there was no solution, so I updated 4 computers to 22H2, should I reject Windows auto update when this happens?
Cannot view STARRED PHOTOS in web - Error 429
HELP!!! Starred Photos is not working on the DropBox web site and I really need help! I have literally YEARS of work in uploading all of my family's photos and STARRING the ones I want to use for Shutterfly or other projects. But this year, I see that I cannot get the STARRED photos to load for a YEAR (or even a MONTH) to download them accurately - the photos appear and then disappear from the website. My husband opened up the "Inspector view" and took screenshots that show that there are hundreds of 429 requests to /starred/get_status-- so it seems like the website is just broken. PLEASE HELP WE'VE SUBSCRIBED FOR YEARS! And I really need the starred photos from the past few years to make holiday gifts on Shutterfly!
downloaded video is choppy and laggy
After downloading the video is choppy and laggy. I tried it on my android phone, my laptop (browser: chrome , firefox) , and via the Laptop app. I tried viewing the clip in my phone , with vlc and the standard windows 10 media player. Since its a mov file i tried converting it to mp4 first which didnt work as well. if i open the dropbox link where the clips are uploaded they are not choppy. I dont know what to try anymore. Any ideas what is going on?
Cannot open downloaded Zip due to "Unable to expand (file name).zip into Downloads (Error 2)
I am trying to download photos from my photographer's Dropbox account to my external hard drive. When I try to open the Zip (which shows size 7.53GB), I receive this error: "Unable to expand (file name).zip into Downloads (Error 2 - No such file or directory.)" I see that many other people have this issue. How can it be resolved?
I put all files available offline, but Dropbox doesn't download them.
Hi! I recently bought a new Macbook and wanted to sync my files to my new computer. Unfortunately, I am unable to download all the files. They are mostly kept in the cloud. I changed the preferences to offline in the Dropbox settings, but this did nothing. What to do? I need to have all my files available offline, because the cloud version prevents me from searching files and file contents via Spotlight and browsing through pictures is a drag. I have the latest Dropbox, 2TB subscription, Macbook M3 Pro, all the latest updates.
Remove "Log in or sign up" Popup when downloading from a shared link
We recently chose Dropbox as the best-looking and most functional drive-sharing tool for our video production company. However, there's an annoying popup prompting clients to log in or sign up when we share links. The "Continue with download only" button is easily missed, especially by older clients, making us look unprofessional. It's frustrating that such a customizable platform has this issue. We hope for a solution soon!I can't download a shared file as I'm being told I'm out of storage
I'm trying to download a large file from Dropbox that someone shared with me, but instead of seeing a 'download' option, I get this message... "Your account is out of storage!" Here's the problem – I don't WANT this massive file in my Dropbox account – I just want to download it. It *looks* like Drobox is shaking me down for money in order to access the file that's been legitimately shared with me, but I'm holding out hope that that's not the case. Open to ideas on how to get this fixed. Thanks.
I cannot download any files from the website as I'm getting an error
I cannot download anything from Dropbox. The first time in any session, a file or folder can download. The next time I try to download anything, large or small, I get the above error message. I have zero faith in Dropbox and want to remove all my files and use another provider. Please tell me how I can access my files.Zip file can not decompress Mac OS X
Hello DB. I have now, on multiple occasions, had clients write me that when they download a folder I sent them, the resulting .zip file will provide an error when decompressed. I have myself recreated this on a Macbook Air M2 on OS X Monterey and Big Sur. The downloaded zip file has the correct size, but is corrupt. Best, Tor
