I have two desktop computers: 1) 500GB Windows 11 SSD w/ 12% storage remaining, and 2) 1TB Windows 10 SSD w/ 33% storage remaining. Two years ago I disabled Dropbox from the 500GB computer after a first attempt to use Dropbox: it duplicated my files and threw them back onto the hard drive, leaving me with just 7GB on it (somehow I was able to get 50GB back, can't remember how). This year I decided to give Dropbox another try, I read and read and read every Dropbox instructions I could, set my 1TB computer to Cloud Only, and am OK with that machine. Now if I re-enable Dropbox on my 500GB computer, setting it to Cloud Only, can I be confident files won't be plugging up the hard drive again? And assuming I can share/link files between the two computers, how do I do that? And are there dangers of plugging things up again if I do?Solved67Views0likes5Comments'Couldn't complete sign in, please try again' error on the desktop app on Windows
a few days ago, dropbox suddenly stopped syncing on my laptop. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling. at first, i couldn't reinstall so i tried the offline installer as suggested in dropbox help. got dropbox to finally install. however, now, i get error "couldnt complete sign in. pls try again." i tried uninstalling then reinstalling, and even tried reinstalling without uninstalling as suggested in the threads here to no avail. i also turned off kaspersky firewall while reinstalling as suggested in the forum but still encounter the same problem. encountered problem with dropbox at about the same time my microsoft edge browser suddenly disappeared. dont know if my prob with the browser has anything to do with my dropbox problem. i'm on windows 10 home. help please. thanks.Solved41Views0likes3CommentsSome files/folders don't sync from the web to my Windows desktop app.
Dear all, I need some help to get my files to synced on my laptop. I'm using Windows 11, and the icon in the task bar informs me that all my files are up to date (properly synced). The windows explorer says that some (not all) dropbox folders haven't synced yet. Everything looks fine on the website. Some files and folders are on the website but not on my hard drive. I have not exceeded the storage limit. I've used Windows7 to create the files and folders that are not syncining. So there shouldn't be a problem with characters. How can I get the files to sync on my Windows11 laptop? I've tried restarting the computer. I've tried stopping and restarting the synchronization. All help is much appreciated, JuergenSolved97Views0likes3Comments"Dropbox Unexpectedly Quit" error on two Windows 11 computers
The Windows 11 Dropbox app updated on Wednesday and now repeatedly crashes. Software version 219.45.4463. The problem is present on two W11 devices, both received the Dropbox update. Dropbox and Windows 11 has been reinstalled on one device. Both are company managed and had no issues with Dropbox prior to this update. Error message: Dropbox Unexpectedly Quit Your files are safe. Restart Dropbox to resume sync and other features. I have gone through Event Viewer but don't see any crash logs related to Dropbox.85Views0likes10CommentsHow to disable clipboard content overwrite when taking screenshots?
I just found out that when taking a screenshot with Dropbox on Windows 10, Dropbox puts a share url into your clipboard. I would like to disable that feature. All I could find was a seven year old discussion of the problem for MacOS and the options mentioned there aren't available to me.Solved52Views0likes4CommentsTried to move main Dropbox folder but now Dropbox seems confused
I run my Windows (Win10 in this case) systems in multi-boot mode. Typically three instances of Windows on each computer. This provides quick recovery capability when Windows issues arise that need plenty of time to troubleshoot. Have been using Basic Dropbox quite successfully (i.e., no problems) for a while now. However, when I tried to move the Dropbox folder it has become completely dysfunctional. I do understand that moving it when booted under one instance of Windows would not be recognized by the other instances and some correction would be in order. However, none of the instances work correctly any more. It also seems to have gotten into a state where it thinks I'm using more computers and is insisting on upgrading to a version that accommodates more computers. In my present situation upgrading is the last thing I'd want to do. Knowing that it can function properly in my environment would be an essential aspect of choosing to upgrade. Given that at present I do not need any more devices I'm not anxious to upgrade now. Is there a solution that would allow me to continue using Dropbox or should I be looking for a better solution?28Views0likes3CommentsDropbox Datei-Anzeige im Windows-Explorer dauert extrem lange
Liebe Community, ich habe seit kurzem das Problem, dass das Ordner- und Dateihandling auf dem lokalen Laufwerk extrem zĂ€h ist. Ordner öffnen sich quĂ€lend langsam und Dateien, insbesondere Grafikdateien, ebenfalls. Ich arbeite mit Windows 11 Pro und habe die gesamte Dropbox offline verfĂŒgbar. Laufwerk ist eine 4TB NVME von Samsung. An der Hardware liegt es nicht, weil sich testweise kopierte Ordner auĂerhalb der Dropbox-Struktur blitzschnell öffnen lieĂen. Hat jemand Ă€hnliche Erfahrungen und evtl. eine Lösung? Vielen Dank im Voraus! Dear community, I've recently been experiencing an issue where folder and file handling on my local drive has become extremely sluggish. Folders open painfully slowly, and the same goes for filesâespecially graphic files. I'm using Windows 11 Pro and have my entire Dropbox set to be available offline. The drive is a 4TB NVMe from Samsung. It's not a hardware issue, because test folders copied outside the Dropbox structure open instantly. Has anyone had a similar experience and maybe even found a solution? Thanks a lot in advance47Views0likes6Comments
