Online-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.Correct the 'sharelink' description in the Linux commands documentation
The table at https://help.dropbox.com/installs/linux-commands#What-Linux-commands-are-available-on-Dropbox says, about the sharelink command: sharelink dropbox sharelink FILE This prints out a shared link for FILE. FILE Absolute path to FILE ...But that's not correct. FILE doesn't have to be an absolute path, it can be any path (relative or absolute) that points to a file in the Dropbox folder. For example: dropbox sharelink $HOME/Dropbox/MyDocument.odt Outputs a share link like https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/$IDENTIFIER1/MyDocument.odt?rlkey=$IDENTIFIER2&dl=0 cd $HOME/Dropbox dropbox sharelink MyDocument.odt Outputs the same share link cd $HOME dropbox sharelink Dropbox/MyDocument.odt Still the same share link as the previous two commands (Also, side note, what's the point of providing a post editor with the ability to insert tables and code snippets, if this is going to happen when we hit "Publish"?)

cannot toggle default sync state for new files to "Available offline"
OS: Windows 10 22H2 Dropbox version: v220.4.4126 Problem: Default Sync State For New Files cannot be changed When I click it to "Available offline" and close-open setting again it's back to "online-only". Also there is no option to make file always available offline. Please help. I've already tried advanced uninstall and install again. I'm using Selective Sync
Why was the way screenshots were handled changed?
Me and my friends question what drove the people behind this software to break something intentionally like that? I work as a Quality Assurance expert, and can only see this change as sabotage. When I press "PrtSc" I want the image to be copied into my clipboard. The fact that it was saved into the screenshots folder wasn't always desired, but I could deal with it (always cleaned up that folder once a month). But now that doesn't happen. I get so many extra steps, and if I opt out of it, I'm left with nothing. Sure, I could just install a different software for making screenshots, but that seems so stupid to do, given what worked before!
I changed my user name after installing the Dropbox app and now it won't launch
I have a new laptop (MacBook Air - M4), running the latest Sequoia. I migrated everything over from my former system, which included Dropbox. Day-1, all was running fine. Day-2, I needed to change the names of the System Users. I followed the instructions from Apple, which includes changing the home folder name in "Users" and then the corresponding account name field(s) in System Settings, Users & Groups, The home folder path on Day-1, with the original name, was /Users/keri_1/ On Day-2 -- after the renaming -- the new (& current) home folder path is /Users/keri/ Now when I launch DropBox, it is looking for this path to grant permissions: /Users/keri_1/.dropbox and immediately gives the message that "Dropbox needs to change permissions for the Folder: /Users/keri_1/.dropbox" which it cannot find since that path name no longer exists. Clicking OK, the next message I get is "Couldn't start Dropbox" and it shuts down. How do I get DropBox to correct the path it is trying to use? I have contacted Support and we have exchanged several emails, including some Terminal commands to run, which did not correct this issue.
