4830 TopicsWhy do I need to sync my files manually on the desktop app?
I have stopped automatically downloading videos to my Mac. Folders appear in the finder and videos are also visible, but to download I need to try to open each one separately so that the download starts. What could be the problem?76Views0likes12CommentsOption to create or edit plain Text or Markdown documents
I would have thought that the ability to create/edit plain text (*.txt) documents is extremely basic, and something that would be very useful for note taking, documenting the content of a folder and many more things. However this seems to be not supperted either in the Android or the Web app. Something that has become a standard on many cloud-based sites is to also support Markdown documents (*.md) which are like text documents but can be viewed in a formatted nice way. This is also not supported but would be extremely useful to have in the Android and Web apps.1KViews5likes3CommentsI can't open/edit/upload files inside my desktop app

Bonjour, Ma Dropbox synchronise en continu des fichiers depuis 1 semaine. La synchronisation n'avance pas du tout et mes documents/modifications ne sont pas visibles des autres utilisateurs du compte depuis tout ce temps. J'ajoute que j'ai du stockage libre sur mon ordinateur et que ma connexion internet est fluide (j'ai essayé sur plusieurs réseaux). Comment puis-je débloquer ça et arriver à bout de la synchronisation ? Merci.4Views0likes0CommentsWhy is my Documents folder in my Dropbox folder?
After many years using the same computer, we purchased a new one. There are many things different from the "old days". I feel like a total newbie! I somehow ended up with my documents folder in Dropbox. And I don't use Dropbox. Could someone please tell me how I can get my files out of dropbox and my documents folder back in File Explore where I've always had it? I am leaving next week and I'd really like to be able to use my computer without these changes. Thank you for any suggestions.383Views0likes10CommentsI can't see my folders in offline only mode on Mac OS 15.1
I have a new install on a Mac (Sequoia 15.1). I opted to keep all my folders offline on the install. However in the Mac finder no folders are visible, only individual folders. On the webapp they are all there. I want selective sync and decide after the install what I want kept locally.4Views0likes1CommentHow to sync folders from Dropbox online to my desktop app?

I've tried many time, but I just not able to sync my Dropbox Folder over a new Windows (and Dropbox) installation in my PC in a preexistent hard drive with my Dropbox Folder. So, I have to download, again, all my files for a hard drive that already has my Dropbox folder... Than, I have to deleted the previous synced folder. Please, any help?Solved61Views0likes5CommentsAdd .dropboxignore directory to exclude folders without using selective sync
Please please please can you add a feature that allows folders to be excluded from the Dropbox account (on windows and mac). For sure I'm not the first person to request this, but I'm yet to find a good explanation of why it's not there. A quick google search reveals loads of people also looking for the same feature. I really like the workflow I have with dropbox, but it's getting to the point where I might switch providers in order to allow better selective sync. I've seen hackish solutions using selective sync, but it would be great if this could be done in one of the following ways: - global pattern matching eg "node_modules" - a marker file in the directory like .dropboxignore - a simple right click context menu "Ignore this folder" Other than that, keep up the good work.
