I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 24.10 and have noticed that Dropbox never gets past starting. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and setting fs.inotify.max_user_watches to 1 million and it still does not work. The reason for setting fs.inotify.max_user_watches to 1 million was because this was the number that stopped this happening in 24.04. Has anyone else come across this issue and has found a resolution?439Views0likes6CommentsThe Dropbox application does not open on my Windows 10 computer
My Dropbox application does not open. I have uninstalled and installed again, I have restarted the computer but it does not open. I use Windows 10 Pro. I can see all the files when I open my account in the browswer, but the desktop app does not work. I can open it in an android, but not in windows.1.6KViews0likes3CommentsI keep getting a pop-up notification to sign up for Dropbox.
Hi, Out of the blue, a few days back, after tinkering with my DB account, when I start my computer, I get a panel from DB inviting me to sign up for an account - preferable a paid-for account. If I try to delete the message it comes back. What has caused this and how can I stop it? At the moment I dont need or want a premium account. Many thanks.

Migrated user from AD to Entra ID, the user folder name changed, now it says "Couldn't start Dropbox" and I can't open the settings to make changes. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but that didn't work.Solved3.4KViews0likes5Comments"Access is denied" error after transfer of Dropbox from an old computer to a new one
Hi, My laptop screen broke and my software and data was mirrored on to my new laptop. My Dropbox files are on my computer, but the Dropbox App isn't working. For a short while I did not realize this, because I could actually save new files to what appeared to be my Dropbox folder. I suspect I have to re-install Dropbox. My concern is that I added new files to the dropbox folders that I don't want to lose. I haven't found a way to easily identify those files to preserve them by copying them to a different folder. One of the issues is that I get an error message when I try to access a Dropbox folder directly. I am pasting the log entry below. Is there a work around or do I have to accept that I have to loose the new files? bn.BUILD_KEY: Dropbox bn.VERSION: 202.4.5551 bn.constants.WINDOWS_SHELL_EXT_VERSION: 75 bn.is_frozen: True machine_id: 98a1da10-9452-4884-ac20-f29cb73449eb pid: 23900 cwd: 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Dropbox\\Client' real_path='C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Dropbox\\Client' mode=0o40777 uid=0 gid=0 parent mode=0o40777 uid=0 gid=0 HOME: None appdata: 'C:\\Users\\rlandgraf_surface\\AppData\\Local\\Dropbox\\instance1' real_path='C:\\Users\\rlandgraf_surface\\AppData\\Local\\Dropbox\\instance1' not found parent not found dropbox_path: None not found parent not found sys_executable: 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Dropbox\\Client\\Dropbox.exe' real_path='C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Dropbox\\Client\\Dropbox.exe' mode=0o100777 uid=0 gid=0 parent mode=0o40777 uid=0 gid=0 trace.__file__: 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Dropbox\\Client\\202.4.5551\\python-packages.zip\\dropbox\\client\\ui\\common\\boot_error.pyc' real_path='C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Dropbox\\Client\\202.4.5551\\python-packages.zip\\dropbox\\client\\ui\\common\\boot_error.pyc' not found parent not found TMP: C:\Users\RLANDG~1\AppData\Local\Temp TEMP: C:\Users\RLANDG~1\AppData\Local\Temp tempdir: 'C:\\Users\\RLANDG~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp' real_path='C:\\Users\\RLandgraf\\AppData\\Local\\Temp' mode=0o40777 uid=0 gid=0 parent mode=0o40777 uid=0 gid=0 Traceback (most recent call last): File "desktop/dropbox/client/main.py", line 8214, in main_startup File "desktop/dropbox/client/main.py", line 2691, in initialize File "desktop/dropbox/client/main.py", line 1702, in startup_low File "desktop/dropbox/client/main.py", line 1317, in safe_makedirs File "desktop/dropbox/fsutil.py", line 709, in safe_makedirs File "desktop/dropbox/overrides.py", line 241, in makedirs File "desktop/dropbox/overrides.py", line 241, in makedirs File "desktop/dropbox/overrides.py", line 241, in makedirs File "desktop/dropbox/overrides.py", line 254, in makedirs PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\Users\\rlandgraf_surface\\AppData'407Views0likes2CommentsCan the Dropbox desktop app start and sync files without logging in to Windows (Server)?

We have a Dropbox installed on a Windows Server 2016. In every accounts, when starting it, a popup displays "Your computer is currently offline. Please check your network settings". When putting the mouse cursor over the icon in the icon area, it displays "Connecting...". And when clicking on it, it's displayed "Starting...". Even after hours, Dropbox never completes its startup. Dropbox was uninstalled/reinstalled, I manually cleaned it following another help page. I installed full stable versions from ~v150 to the beta v200, same error. The network works fine, I can open dropbox.com in the browser and log in. I tried to install Dropbox on another VM with Windows 7 running on the same WMware host, it worked immediately. I really tried everything following the many pages on the subject that I found, but nothing worked. We have another Windows Server 2016 with multiple users with Drobox installed and didn't have those issues on it. I'd like to know if there is a way to trace what Dropbox sees (does it see the network at all?) or the path that it tries to follows, where it's blocked. I tested and dropbox.com ports and 443 connects normally by making a test with telnet from the host. The present version installed is now the stable version Dropbox 198.4.7615 Offline Installer.x64.exe. Any help would be appreciated.1.5KViews0likes12Comments
