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.
I can't see the folders I want to back up with Dropbox Backup
I can't see my computer directories just the preselected ones like "desktop" The animated logo is confusion and seems to show you can select files - I can't even see the directories. I see that this is a common problem in the forum and I saw the instructions to get the latest version of the backup. No change!New Computer - all Word Docs Corrupt
I have set up a new computer. Downloaded the Dropbox desktop app, same as previous computer. I am running Office365. Now all Word documents that are stored in DP are showing corrupted. I can login to DP directly and open the document but when I try to open through my DP shortcut on file explorer. Word docs will not open directly. The solution has been to open the document from DP and then re-save it on the computer in DP. So I still have access to the docs but it's very inconvenient. Is there a solution that would allow my documents to all update at once and be available again from the file explorer shortcut?Dropbox Backup says syncing 75,000 files but i don't have that many, constantly going up
Hi i'm trying to backup my external hard drive to dropbox backup. It's constantly going up and the time doesn't change. I've reinstalled & relinked, deleted old backups. But nothing has seemed to help with the issue. The file count just keeps going up
Differences & benefits of syncing the Desktop folder vs backing it up?
I just saw and turned on the backup option... I've had the primary my pc/desktop folders UNSYNCED because it seemed redundant from all my primary files/folders I keep within dropbox already but.. The backup I noticed has a rewind feature which may be enough of a benefit, if im understanding it correctly to keep this enabled...ie if i screw something up on the fly while working...i can go in there and rewind whatever file/folder to recover the mistake? That said, is there a separate reason to keep the pc/desktop folder syncing as well? Heres screenshots of both settings for reference: https://ibb.co/8YLy9pJ https://ibb.co/9rBtKy2 Thanks
I got notice that my account has been deleted, but I didn't do this.
I am getting the notice that my account was deleted, but I did not delete it and no one else has access to my computer. Can this be restored? This just happened yesterday and the account was synced to my computer and now all my files are gone.
