We are currently unable to use Dropbox on Windows Surface Pro Devices with Snapdragon Processors as they do not allow for Online-Only files. This causes the entirety of their files to sync to the device and renders the device unusable as all disk space is consumed.54Views2likes3CommentsI installed the Dropbox app on Windows 11, but it keeps freezing.
Just installed windows 11 24h2 in my computer and finished all the updates. Proceeded to install dropbox and the installation flows fine but right after setting up the account and selecting the folders to sync the programs stalls. Tried uninstalling, restarting the computer, clearing cache, clearing the register, installing again and the same. Have tried to not change the folders to download, have tried having only online and also in the laptop and it all fails. After a while, in some cases, the app restarts itself and asks me to sign in again and then it's the same issue all over again.49Views0likes7CommentsEcran bleu sous Windows 11

So I'm sure this has been solved previously and posted here, but I just can't find the post (I've searched and tried various AI for answers too). Windows doesn't seem to allow drag and dropping files onto the drobox taskbar icon anymore. I'm sure someone created a workaround though, It might have been something like creating a file exlorer shortcut, then changing it to open dropbox folder, then pinning that to the taskbar.... But I can't remember - help appreciated!!! OS: Win11 x64 24H2 Dropbox desktop app.83Views0likes6Comments"1 file is unable to sync" error on sync status but "See Issues" option shows nothing.
Hi everyone, I could use some help on this Dropbox pushed out an update to our user environment and it broke our integration and we are slowly starting to fix it. I have a user that has a file that will not sync. When i click the option to see what file is not syncing, it is blank. I cannot locate this file anywhere. I stopped the sync for an hour to let indexing catch up and restarted the sync. No luck We also uninstalled and reinstalled Dropbox (completely removing the folders and profile from before) ran chkdsk Signed out, rebooted and signed back in verified there is no firewall or antivirus restrictions Stopped and restarted the dropbox services we are on version 199.4.62871.4KViews1like8CommentsOnline-only not working in Surface Pro 11 (Snapdragon version)
Recently I went back to Dropbox having read that it now works with Snapdragon Windows versions, but currently I have a significant issue. I cannot have any online-only file in my SP11, thus I cannot have all Dropbox files in my device. I have this in the main DP screen: Then I go to "Manage hard disk space", select folders and make online-only. In less than a second I get the message they are online-only, but they aren't. Any idea how to solve this? Thanks in advance.518Views2likes21CommentsI can't paste the screenshots I capture on Windows
For some reason I cannot pate the screenshots after I press "Print Screen". I have dropbox on my pc set to copy link when image is ready and then there is a pop up on the bottom right when I take a picture and it says "press ctrl+v to copy" BUT IT DOESN'T work at all!513Views0likes45CommentsOpen dropbox file/folder links open on desktop
Hi there. Love Dropbox. I moved our whole team to it from Google Drive much to all of our delight. The one hiccup that keeps coming up (was also an issue with Drive, but would be a game changing new feature from DB) is sharing links. Our team uses the desktop app to work with files directly in finder, but we share links to files and folders on slack and in email, etc... Right now we click a link, it opens the browser as expected, we find the file path in browser and then follow that path in finder. That seems like an awful lot of work when we have a direct connection between our finder and dropbox in the app. Perhaps the website could provide a link that connects to the desktop app, opening the folder/file in finder or windows explorer. Seems like a reasonable option to me, but what do others think?21Views0likes1CommentFile previews not visible in preview pane on Windows when using Dropbox.
File previews have stopped working for me in the preview pane (using Windows 10). This issue only persists with files in my Dropbox folder, and it affects all kinds of different file types, including JPGs, PNGs, MP4s, Cinema 4D files, etc. If I uninstall Dropbox, the file previews work correctly again. Then once I reinstall Dropbox, the issue returns. I am not using "online only" mode - all files are stored locally on my hard drive. I don't understand why this is happening, and it's quite annoying. Does anyone have any solution for this?46Views0likes2CommentsThere are too many context menu entries, how can I delete some of them on Windows?
When right clicking a file/folder, there are just too many Context Menu entries which is slowing down the appearance of the menu itself. Could anyone suggest how can I delete/remove some or all of the Dropbox content menu entries in Windows?23Views0likes1Comment
