Upgrade your browser to use Dropbox: OEM DELL APP
I am creating a new discussion, since the original discussion which is under the same title with out the OEM DELL APP, and was not started by me, has been locked. Here is what has happened. Dell had an app which gave you 20 GB of space in your Dropbox account, when you bought a Dell computer. This app has stopped working for quite a while now. I believe that it is using either Internet Explorer, or an older browser version which can not be updated. This app was preinstalled on I believe eligible computer, but I am not sure since my computer was the first Dell computer I have seen, which had this app.
Desktop app: no internet connection/ can't connect on Windows device.
I became aware that my Dropbox app stopped synchronizing two days ago. After trying several things I did an advanced de-install. Then installing again with the 'offline installer'. The normal one didn't work, because it said there was no internet connection. The connection was all the time established and even with the firewall off, it didn't work. The app is now installed, but still tries to make a connection. I found a lot of posts with connection problems, but nothing helped to me. Please advice.
Run dropbox media in the background
Hey everyone, I just switched to an Android from an iPhone. I am facing a feature problem that I loved on my iPhone! Which is, if I open up an audio file from my dropbox app I can just do other stuff on my phone. On android however, it stops playing whenever I switch over to a different app. Is there a way to let it run in the background just like the iPhone? Thanks!Moved my "user" folders from C: to D: and my Dropbox location also to D: but Dropbox backup fails
Hi, I've just moved all my user folders (Documents, Music, Pictures etc..) from the C: drive to D:. I've copied the same path format (eg. C:\Users\smartmove77\Documents is now D:\Users\smartmove77\Documents). I have then changed my dropbox location to the 😧 drive. I have tried to setup the Dropbox Backup function but when I choose all the folders it's showing the following: Strangely the Pictures directory appears to be accepted but all the others are not. How do I proceed from here? Many thanks.
How can I choose an existing Dropbox folder on my new installation?
I'm a new user and I've installed dropbox now, so I want to specify an existing folder, but I can't choose, always dropbox creates a new folder, in any folder I choose. Is it possible to change so that I can choose my existing folder?
The Dropbox desktop app is stuck on starting on Mac OS
I can't get past the "starting..." stage on the DB app. I've uninstalled, cleared everything related to DB from my computer, downloaded fresh, installed again. Everything I can think of. Always, the menu bar icon stays gray and the pulldown shows "Starting..." I've let it sit for days, no luck. I can get to my account via dropbox.com as usual. It's the app that's not working. I've unlinked the account and relinked it. I must be missing something. FWIW, this happens on both my Macbook Pros, a new M3 and an M1. And I've read old messages about this problem... so, a new query. Ideas please?
exFat support
ExFAT should come standard, no request necessary. We're in a future now where multiple operating systems and platforms are in use daily, NTFS isnt very friendly. FAT32 has its limitations with a 4GB file size limit and a maximum 2TB partition size, so it's not suitable for content creators. I've been a customer for 5 years and feel it's unnecessary for me to have to ask for this basic feature to be added. please add exFAT support. Thank you.
