Sadly, I had already downloaded another and have a problem -- instead of picking up my old dropbox folder, the installer wants to rename it. I'm not sure what to do now. except reboot in the middle of the installation process. Sounds fun, eh?72Views0likes11CommentsI reinstalled the Dropbox app and now I'm being asked to rename the old folder and create a new one.
I just downloaded dropbox from their site. It is installing. It has reached the point of creating the dropbox folder -- if this was a new install. However, this is a reinstall. "Couldn't rename Dropbox to make room for your Dropbox folder. Dropbox needs to rename your existing folder or file named Dropbox to finish installing. Please close any open documents and try again." I have no files open that I can see. Should I reboot?54Views0likes5CommentsHow to install an older version of Dropbox and keep it at that version
Since all my machines updated in background to the version that removed all of the actual useful settings, and Support telling me I need to be on an older version to get that basic functionality, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the last good version of Dropbox for Linux. I'm running Linux Mint 21.3. Can anyone point me to where I can download the last good version, and maybe provide some basic instruction on how I can freeze it at that version? I'm guessing there's a file or a folder I probably need to make read-only but I can't figure it out.Solved30Views0likes2CommentsVideo speichern nicht möglich - iPhone
Ich habe Dropbox schon häufiger dafür genutzt, Videos weiterzugeben. Hatte nie Probleme. Jetzt wird plötzlich "Dieser Videotyp kann leider nicht auf diesem Gerät gespeichert werden" angezeigt. Die Videos wurden genau so exportiert wie alle anderen davor, mit denen es kein Problem war. Ich habe bereits versucht die Dateigröße zu reduzieren, sie sind alle in .mp4 ... nichts funktioniert. Was könnte ich noch tun bzw. woran könnte es liegen?562Views0likes4CommentsError after installation when Dropbox starts creating a "Dropbox" dedicated folder. (Windows 10)

Hi there, Dropbox does not complete installation on a new Win 11 install that has been fully updated. This is the latest error code: I've tried different things for 2-3 days no and nothing has worked. I've rebooted, etc ad nauseum between each attempt: Normal install Normal install, run as admin Offline installer Offline installer, run as admin Offline installer run as admin with all antivirus/firewall turned off I'm in China, so tried all the above with and without VPN turned on. Any thoughts?Solved165Views0likes16CommentsDropbox stopped working on iPad, deleted and reinstalled, will not login.
On my iPad, I could not sign in to dropbox and use it as I have been for the last several years. I kept getting a spinning circle telling me it was trying to sign out. I close the app, then reopened it, same thing it would not log out so I could log back in again. I deleted the app and reinstalled it and now it will not allow me to log back in. It says my provided user information is not valid. I know I have the email and password correct I used it on another device. Any known issues?Solved588Views0likes9CommentsDropbox Plus - having troubling signing into my account when using Android devices.
I have multiple devices currently linked to my Plus account - 8 currently - but new devices especially Android are having trouble logging in. Either states user info invalid or it won't accept the 6-digit security code used for 2 step verification. But Apple devices don't have the issue. Same log-in and password. Is there a setting I have got wrong or is it more likely to be the device type or settings being the issue?33Views0likes3CommentsDropbox error 1073741819 after uninstalling, and reinstalling the app on my Windows 11.
