Spring Clean your Desktop with Dropbox 🌸
🌸 Spring isn’t just for cleaning your home, it’s the perfect excuse to give your digital space a fresh start too 💻✨. If your desktop looks like a chaotic mess of random files and folders 📂, it may be slowing you down (and let’s be honest, stressing you out 😵💫). But don’t worry, with Dropbox, tidying up your digital messiness is easier than ever. Here’s how to get organised and bring some Springtime zen 🧘♂️🌿 to your workspace. Move Files to the Cloud – Transfer important documents photos and work files to Dropbox. This keeps them safe and accessible from any device while clearing up space on your desktop 💻 . Create Folders and Subfolders – Organise your files by category project or date. A clear folder structure makes it easier to locate what you need without searching through endless icons 📂. Use Selective Sync – With Dropbox Selective Sync you can access files from your desktop without taking up space on your hard drive. Mark files as online-only to free up even more room. Check out Amy’s article on Dropbox Selective Sync here. Delete or Move Old Files – If you no longer need certain files consider deleting or moving them to online only within Dropbox. Keeping only what you use regularly helps maintain a clean and efficient workspace 📤. Set Up Automated Backups – Use Dropbox Backup to ensure your desktop files are always protected. In case of accidental deletion or device failure you can easily restore your data ✨. A tidy desktop means less digital clutter and more focus on what really matters. Say goodbye to the endless hunt for lost files and hello to a smoother workflow. Plus, who doesn’t love a fresh start? 🤗 🌟 We want to hear from you! What’s your secret to a clutter-free digital life?

Saving screenshots to Dropbox: Option to not copy to clipboard
I love the option to save screenshots into Dropbox. Unfortunately if you enable it, you have to choose between: copy link copy image within the "When screenshot is ready" dropdown. On too many occasions this has overwritten something I had only recently copied to the clipboard. When I go to paste it, I instead find that it's been replaced by the link to the image, or the image itself. I still want to save my screenshots into Dropbox, but I'd love a 3rd option within "When screenshot is ready" dropdown: Don't copy anything to clipboard I'd imagine this is very simple to implement, so thought I'd ask :)
There 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?Please darken and enlarge the font in Support chats.
The font in Support chat is very pale, there is not sufficient contrast to read easily. The current font is very hard to read because of this lack of contrast. Please darken and enlarge the font to make it easier to read Please refer to ticket number 249-22794 dropbox support chat as an example. Thank you
Online only option isn't working on Mac OS
Hey all, I've recently had some trouble with Dropbox files taking up hundreds of GBs on my Mac's internal storage. When I select "Make file online-only," nothing happens. My Dropbox version is 219.4.4463, and my macOS version is Sonoma 14.6.1. I’d appreciate any help! Thanks.Numerous technical issues with Paper App
Far too many issues to list here. Apart from the chaotic disaster of non-migrated and missing files, last year images disappeared in my Paper App for several months, despite the "specialist engineering team looking into it" (what a joke). The lastest fiasco is that links do not work across all of my Paper files in the App (the desktop version is fine). Could someone (serious) at Dropbox please inform your incredibly tolerant, long-suffering subscribers what on earth is going on? If the App is to be discontinued, which would appear to be the case judging by the fact that it has been abandoned (no updates since Version 262.2 over two years ago) could someone at least have the courtesy to let us know so we can stop paying for a ditched product and look for alternatives? This message is not intended to be disrespectful, quite simply like many of your users I have now completely run out of patience with this intolerable situation.
