31 TopicsA bunch of my files went to Zero Bytes on Mac
This issue was posted here like five years ago by a different user and the fix worked for them but I've encountered the issue now and the fix isn't working. Basically, I've got a new Mac, synced all my files from my old Mac but they're mostly showing up as Zero Bytes and they're not openable. I tried going to my preferences->Account->holding down the alt/option key and clicking "Fix Permissions". It prompts me for my computer password, I enter it, it seems to work but doesn't. So I do it again, then I receive the error message in Dropbox: "Dropbox was unable to fix permissions in your Dropbox. Please contact support if the problem persists." I'm on the basic plan, so I don't have access to proper support (bad show, guys) so I'm hoping someone can help.24Views0likes4CommentsOpciones para organizar y personalizar la visualización de fotos
Sería muy útil contar con la opción de seleccionar qué directorios incluir o excluir en el apartado "Fotos". Muchas veces almacenamos imágenes o capturas de pantalla en carpetas específicas, y estas terminan mezclándose con nuestras fotos principales, generando desorden visual. Poder limitar la visualización únicamente a los directorios que realmente contienen fotos ayudaría a mantener una experiencia más organizada y enfocada.3Views0likes0CommentsOpciones para organizar y personalizar la visualización de fotos

This has been an ongoing issue. The DB tech support rep I talked to was utterly useless and keep telling me to use selective sync instead, which not only doesn't solve my problem (I WANT the file to be visible, just not downloaded), but also seems like an admission on the rep's part that this setting doesn't work at all. So why have the setting at all? Alright, so here's a pretty simple scenario: I create a huge file (F) on computer A I open computer B Obviously, F is not on B Even though B has "online-only" setting checked, B still downloads F This is particularly annoying if I'm on a slow internet connection, as my Dropbox is syncing this file for HOURS and slowing down my other work. Again: why have the setting at all if it doesn't do what it is supposed to do?96Views0likes8CommentsAdd an option to prevent a thumbnail popup when taking a screenshot
When you use Dropbox desktop app on Windows and enable the option; "Save screenshots to Dropbox" a thumbnail of a screenshot appears at the corner of the screen when a screenshot is taken. This popup needs to be manually closed if you want to take another screenshot. There should be an option in the Preferences to prevent the popup.72Views0likes5CommentsDownloading large files from the Dropbox site fails
I am trying to download a combination of files and each time I try to download it, it shows as "stopped" no matter what I do. I saw that this is an issue from the community with DB and I am not sure how to fix it. The file size is approximately 100GB. I hope that someone from support can help me. I do not believe it is on my end, like a network/internet issue as I have a business account with Comcast and my download speeds are adequate for this type of task. I've tried to use Brave, FF, Chrome and Safari. Each time, it either shows that the download as "stopped" or I am able to download the file but it is empty, or at 0. So what's the magic trick you need to do to download documents from DropBox? Thanks in advance for your help. ErinI can't find my Selective Sync settings on my device.
Hi. I can't find selective sync on my dropbox. All the help comments I find mention going to the profile icon on the corner, and selecting Preferences from this, but I don't have a Preferences option on my Account. Has it been moved? Additionally, I can't find out how to open the app so that it opens the actual dropbox app - all that happens when I click on the app icon is it opens the dropbox folder. Why is this?
