Dear all, I am trying to get dropbox to ignore a directory that we use to create ~200K small temporary files using the command given in this article: https://help.dropbox.com/sync/ignored-files#:~:text=If%20you%20ignore%20a%20file,sync%20to%20your%20Dropbox%20account.

My computer is full so I have been manually "option" copying my files to my dropbox. I just went into one of my client folders and noticed that each and every file now have a revised "date modified" changed to the date I put the files on dropbox! This is a minor disaster - I didn't realize how much I relied on those dates. How do I keep the "date modified" from changing when I transfer files over to dropbox? Because the whole "date modified" thing becomes pointless/useless despite being really valuable/helpful. Ugh!8.7KViews3likes7CommentsDropbox Passwords doesn't sync logins between devices?
I use Dropbox Passwords on 4 devices. My iPhone and my 'old' Macbook Pro, where everything syncs and works, and my iPad and my new Macbook Pro, where nothing is synced. Both just show me the 'Start adding accounts' screen. I've been through a looong list of measures with chat support, but nothing has solved this so far. Has anybody else experienced something similar? And maybe even found a potential solution?3KViews2likes23CommentsNot getting notifications on Android when a file is uploaded.
I'm using the free version of dropbox. I have the desktop app and android apps downloaded. I have a .txt file in a dropbox folder I created. I shared the folder and I'm following that folder. Per this https://help.dropbox.com/organize/follow-folder When I put a new version of that .txt (always same filename) file in the dropbox folder I want to receive a notification on my phone that a file was uploaded. All notifications are turned on to my knowledge. What do I need to do to get a notification on my android phone when that .txt file is uploaded on my PC thru the dropbox desktop app?660Views1like4CommentsDropbox Client for Linux on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS- icon not clickable.
Guys, I've noticed a bug on Dropbox Client on Ubuntu 23.10 and the same occurs on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS after a installed it from scratch on my machine. It's really a bug on the app on desktop. The problem is: the app on system tray doesnt open or show anything until the system is blocked to block screen and returns putting password. After that it works normally as it should. I recorded a short video showing the problem with you: https://youtu.be/6a4cvtZsRWo How can this issue be solved? Is this the right place to report it? God bless you all!Solved11KViews6likes50CommentsSaving email attachments (pictures) using Dropbox for Outlook on Windows 11
Hi smart peolple I have installed Dropbox for Outlook(desktop) on Windows 11. We are getting lots of mails with photos from out staff when they are cleaning. I wish to use the app for saving those photos on Dropbox. However when saving photos to Dropbox, It will also save all the icons in peoples signature. That is often 5-6 tiny pictures with phones, FB, LinkedIn logos ect. Anyway to avoid those tiny icons/pictures? NB: I know I can remove them manually, but that takes way to long time.Solved91Views0likes7CommentsWindows 11 built-in backup and restore feature.
It is about Windows 11 built-in backup and restore feature. I need to check if Dropbox is safe with this feature. Suppose I backed up every Windows setting with this image backup feature built inside Windows 11. My Dropbox storage is located in E driver (not C driver). Suppose my Windows gets a problem in the future. Suppose I restore Windows using backed up image. In this case, my Dropbox application in Windows will go back to the backed-up stage. In this case, will my Dropbox files in E driver safe? Do I have to delete all dropbox files in E driver before Windows restoration? Or will Dropbox application in C driver safely recognize my Dropbox files in E driver?Solved1.2KViews0likes3Comments
