I have updated Dropbox on MacOS (12.6.5), and I have learned that I should know be able to see "Dropbox" in Finder on the left hand pane under 'Locations'. However there is no such entry; 'Locations' is empty. I *can* access Dropbox in the following way: In the MacOS menu bar, I click the Dropbox icon, and then click the icon which says "Open Dropbox Folder". Then a Finder window opens, showing my Dropbox files. I just wonder why I can't see them in just a normal new Finder window.Solved8.8KViews2likes40CommentsCertFindCertificateInStore failed with: (-2146885628) Cannot find object or property.
As multiple other users have already reported over the last couple years, I am seeing many of these error events in my Windows 10 Event Viewer, all coming from the DbxSvc(Dropbox service) event source. Can you all please fix your desktop client software to stop spamming my event logs with these errors? This issue has dragged on far, far too long already. Either stop emitting these errors, or fix the underlying problem. Thank you.43KViews9likes97CommentsDropbox Vault Timer Notification and Option to Extend before locking
Hi Guys , Dropbox has been around for years now, I have been using One Drive Private Vault for many years - only reason I switched to Dropbox is because your Vault function is available on Mac Os - For the Love of God you have had so many users Ask you to create a option that allows the user to extend the timer before the vault just closes suddenly , while a user is still working a file! My Lord , all your developers need to do is create a popup banner saying " your vault is about to lock in 1 min ! you want to keep it open for another 5min, 10min or 20min or do you want to lock it right now!. This will most certainly keep many MS One Drive users from staying, What the heck is the issue and why haven't you given us this option yet . I just Spend $137 dollars on your Dropbox Plus version to be treated with the most frustrating feature - considering a refund !!!1 just get it done developers756Views4likes2CommentsIs the Library>CloudStorage folder, still an obligation or is that not relevant any more?
A few months ago, I was forced to nest my Dropbox folder in theLibrary>CloudStorage folder. It seem to be a new Apple procedure with Ventura. Yesterday, when adding again my desktop to Dropbox and still on Ventura, Dropbox asked me to put it's folder wherever I wanted just like before. Is this the new way of doing things ? Which is which ? Is theLibrary>CloudStorage folder procedure not required anymore ? I would also appreciate to understand the advantages/necessity of migrating to theFile Provider API ? I read some articles on DropBox help and I am confused. Do I need to keep both or is only the new one that I nested where I want required ?Solved6.6KViews0likes14CommentsI get an error message that Windows System Restore failed?
Hi When I run Windows System Restore it fails with this error message System Restore failed to replace the file (D:\Users\*******\Dropbox\.dropbox.cache\qebcobkqbgbzfynfuwbof\placeholder.bat) with its original copy from the restore point. An unspecified error occurred during restore. (0x80070780) I have completed system recovery from an image without problem but on several occasions I have come up against this error when trying to correct a problem using system restore which would be easier to use if I could. I still have the problem if I run the system restore in safe mode with the same failour message Any suggestions on allowing the restore to work RichardSolved29KViews3likes155CommentsAfter using the Apple Migration Assistant, I ended up with two Dropbox folders.
I have used Apple's Migration Assistant to move all my content from one Mac to a new Mac. I keep all of my Dropbox files on my computer, so all my Dropbox files are transferred to the new Mac. Now Dropbox is creating a new Dropbox folder and downloading all of my files. How should I best handle this?Solved82Views0likes9CommentsProblem transfering dropbox to external SSD drive in Macbook Air
I wanted to move my dropbox folder from my Macbook Air hard drive to an external SSD drive. I signed out of the app, signed back in However, the new dropbox location was created, however it is not linked therefore I do not get all of the links, and sync with dropbox. and it seems that the old link is still there. And I am unable to find out where the directory is. What I want is for dropbox to be linked to the external SSD drive Here are the screen shots: On the following image A - is the new dropbox directory on the external drive that was created. files and folders here do not have the Dropbox Links (like link address, etc) B - is the old location. it says that it is unlinked to dropbox However as you will see in the last image, this directory DOES have the dropbox links. In the new location (A) there are no dropbox links This is B, the old content in the location I want to replace. It seems that the dropbox link is still linked here, and as you can see the Dropbox Links for syncing are here.15Views0likes1Comment
