Folders
245 TopicsI have two Dropbox folders. Can I merge content?
I love DropBox and fear that my "problem" is something that I've created! I have two DropBox folders: the one in my preferences is at ~/Dropbox and has about 4GB but I also have ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox (20-12-2024 (16/41) which has 40+GB I only discovered this after "losing" changes to a file that was in the "wrong" folder. It looks as though I did something silly just pre-Christmas. So my help request is twofold: most urgently, is there an easy way to merge the wtwo folders without losing anything? (so that I don't repeat the mistake) can anyone tell me what I might have done? Thanks CliffSolved79Views0likes6CommentsDropbox disappeared from Finder on Mac OS 15.3.2, and I can't locate it easily
Using a Macbook Pro with OS 15.3.2 (just installed last night). Now dropbox is no longer listed on the left side of the Finder options in the Location section (where it's always been). How do i get it back there or where has it been moved to? If i look under my user name, dropbox is there with my folders, but i cannot 'copy link' to send to client. Please advise.Solved76Views0likes6CommentsI can't copy and paste folders from my desktop app and I don't see Dropbox options for my files.
Dear all, I would really appreciate your help in advance. I am using Dropbox on my desktop using the desktop app. For some reason, I cannot copy and paste folders within my Dropbox (it says it is copying and pasting the folder but the progress stays at 0%). The same symptom happens when I also copy a folder from Dropbox to Gdrive. Also, when I right click the dropbox file, I do not see dropbox related actions. This is really frustrating me. Please help!!! Sincerely, HJP32Views0likes5CommentsDropbox generating excessive cache files
I have an issue with Dropbox 166.4.2920 on macOS 12.0.1 Dropbox keeps generating utterly excessive cache files, 114GB currently on a folder that has 3.3GB of actual contents. How can I force Dropbox to clear its cache in a reasonable timeframe and not keep accumulating this?5.6KViews0likes10CommentsChanging ownership of all files owned by former team member.
Hi We plan to remove and reallocate the dropbox memberships of two team members who have left our organisation. However, they both had a bunch of shared folders which they are the listed owner of. Is there a way of seeing what all the folders a particular member owns are and changing ownership of all of them? I do have their logins as they were work accounts so could either do it via their accounts or as the admin of the team. Alternatively, if they are just deleted from the team, will the shared folders that they own also be deleted? Or will they still remain viewable to the other accounts that they are shared with. Thanks MarkSolved78Views0likes4CommentsAbility to password-protect folders within Dropbox
Now that Vault is being discontinued, I think it would be useful to have the ability to password-protect folders within Dropbox itself. I know you can password-protect folders when sharing them, but I'd like the ability to password-protect individual folders in Dropbox, to add additional security. I store client information, financial information for taxes, etc. on Dropbox and while I password-protect individual files, I'd like to be able to password-protect full folders too, just for the added layer of security.23Views0likes2CommentsPasta privada para fotos
Devido ao aumento significativo do armazenamento de fotos íntimas, print ou fotos particular, em dispositivos móveis e ao fato de esses aparelhos/computares serem frequentemente emprestados a outras pessoas, seria essencial a criação de uma pasta privada para fotos com um nível de segurança mais elevado. O vazamento de fotos privadas na internet pode causar danos irreparáveis. Além disso, uma sugestão que considero relevante é a exigência de Face ID ou outro mecanismo de autenticação avançado não apenas em celulares, mas também em computadores. Atualmente, esse nível de segurança não está presente em todas as plataformas, tornando necessário um reforço na proteção de fotos enviadas para a nuvem, garantindo a privacidade e prevenindo acessos não autorizados. Acredito que o Dropbox poderia dedicar mais atenção a essa questão, pois não me sinto seguro ao armazenar prints ou fotos da galeria do meu celular. Seria fundamental a implementação de camadas extras de segurança para evitar vazamentos ou acessos indevidos.31Views0likes1CommentI've accidentally removed my personal folder from the team and I can't find it anywhere.
Hello, unfortunately as an admin I have removed access to my *personal* folder in Dropbox. What can I do? The folder can no longer be found. I accidentally pressed the Remove ALL button. Now all my personal data is gone90Views0likes14Comments
