You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Right-click option to sync any computer folder to my account, without moving it inside Dropbox.
As for me, synchronization of folders via the application is done a little inconveniently and not even clear, and in fact it does not exist.. Let me explain what I mean: I would like to right-click on the folder that I want to synchronize with the folder from the hard drive, so that synchronization works automatically when adding files to this folder.. Why should I transfer files every time that I want to be in the cloud, it is inconvenient and you need to constantly spend time on this.. Let synchronization work for me..!! I think it is very convenient and, first of all, a function that saves time..!!Dropbox icon not displaying current files/folders when clicking on the Dropbox icon.
Since the last few days, the Dropbox icon in the menu bar (MacOS) has stopped displaying files and folders. As soon as I type "files or folders" in the search bar, it displays all contents. Any changes I make (add / delete) are reflected when I use the search bar. I've tried various solutions suggested by Dropbox and other posts on the net, including uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing works. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Get an option to prioritize syncing for folders on the desktop app.
Dropbox currently has an option to prioritize which files to sync first. I'd like to extend that to provide the same functionality for selected folders. This will be particularly helpful in migrating to new equipment but also when changing a large amount of content. Can do?
I migrated my Dropbox files from the old MacBook to the new and they got duplicated.
Hi, I just migrated all of my documents from my old Macbook Air to my New Macbook Air. - This included my DropBox files that were on my old Macbook Air, that are syncing with my Dropbox Account in the cloud. On my new Macbook Air, it is now asking me if: I would like to start syncing the Dropbox App. - If I say Yes, will I get duplicated files on my new MacBook Air (as I already have the files on my new MacBook Air? So appreciate any guidance/help that you can give. Thanks, Marion
Dropbox needs to change permissions for the Folder...
Mid-December, my Mac updated to the latest OS. macOS Sequoia 15.2 (24C101). Since then, Dropbox needs to change permissions for the Folder: /Users/ ############/.dropbox every time I restart my Mac and a few times throughout the day. I have tried to check every permission possible to no avail. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Dropbox with admin privileges. Any ideas to resolve this small annoyance? Cheers
"Make available offline" option is not working on folder level on Mac OS Sequoia 15.1.1
Hi, On macOS Sequoia 15.1.1, the following menu on folder : "make available offline" (my translation from french) is not working. I would have to select it on each file to get it available offline. Do you experience the same issue ?
Error 0x80070780 when trying to access files in a folder locally - folder not available online
Over the years I've lost some HDs to crashes and I tend to be lazy since these days you can take millions of photos and videos then just dump them on the cloud to never check them out later because you have too many things going on. Such is the case with a HD which was starting to give me some issues. It was nearly full and many of my files had become corrupted. So I started to move the files off the local drive, which included my Dropbox folder. I tried redirecting Dropbox to the new drive, but it kept stopping the sync. I believe because the existing drive was having problems/was nearly full. I was able to restore all but one folder from other backups. In this folder, even though I have Admin rights and ownership, I get an error code (which has been posted here before) Error 0x80070780. All the files have a storage carton icon in the lower left (meaning they are accessed through the cloud (no local storage). All the files show 0 bytes (on disk) the local drive. You can see the size of what the file is supposed to be if it were there. When I go into Dropbox, there is no folder of this name. There are no files of these names. I have checked the trashbin, but it is empty. I've looked through all folders, and this one folder and the 74 items in it can not be found. I'm going to assume that there was a sync issue, but I'm confused why Dropbox doesn't have the folder anywhere on the cloud. What is odd is on the local drive, the folder was created 05/10/2020. All the files inside the folder were dated 09/29/2017. Accessed is 12/16/24. I am not running Dropbox locally because it keeps trying to sync the cloud with my old drive. As I mentioned, I have restored the files (except this folder) and don't want to redirect Dropbox to the new drive just yet, because I didn't want to cause further problems. So I'll wait to see what response I get from tech support. Any assistance would be appreciated.
