If I make changes to the excel file on my Dropbox account and then go to my ipad and open the file through the Dropbox app, it is an older version. It even says that the file hasnât been modified for several days. What am I missing? Thanks! C40Views0likes8CommentsWhy 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!282Views3likes17CommentsSome files are not syncing from my desktop to my other devices

Background Hoping someone can please help with this one. Just purchased a new MacBook Pro and installed Dropbox. I use mail-merge documents from my Mac mini which syncs via Dropbox to the MacBook. The location of the newly installed Dropbox is different on the MacBook (previously the Mac iOS forced Dropbox to a specific location in the Library for cloud storage which my Mac mini uses. To rectify the above, I uninstalled Dropbox from my Mac mini and when installing the latest versions, duplicated the path the MacBook uses to enable mail merge from either without having to re-find the source data. All good... The problem However - The Dropbox app on my Mac mini no longer shows the sync check marks on any of the contents of Dropbox, though syncing is working and is up to date - the checks are missing (they are however showing on my MacBook as expected). Software versions iOS: Sequoia 15.4.1 Dropbox plus plan: v222.4.5042 Troubleshooting tried > Closing Dropbox including force-quitting all instances in activity monitor, then relaunching Finder and reloading Dropbox; > Uninstalled/reinstalled Dropbox; > Checked that all folders (bar one) are set to be available offline If anyone can please offer any suggestions it'd be very much appreciated :-) PJ31Views0likes4CommentsIs there an option to ignore a file or folder from syncing to my Dropbox account?
Hi, I use dropbox on multiple devices but predominantly on a Macbook Pro. I traditionally keep all my files and folders within the Dropbox folder and allow all data to sync up to dropbox. Is there a way to stop a folder (nested under the dropbox top folder) from uploading to dropbox. I realise I can just move the folder out of the toplevel folder but I preferably dont want to do this.

Hello, Iâve been a Dropbox user for many years and have always been very satisfied with your service. However, for the past few days my Dropbox app on macOS has been stuck syncing around 1.8 GB of data (approximately 2,900 files). I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app twice, but the problem persistsâand indeed seems to have worsened, as now the entire Dropbox folder is syncing extremely slowly. New files arenât uploading at all. For reference, Iâm using a MacBook Pro (2017) running macOS Big Sur (version 11.7.10). Could you please advise on any further steps I can take to resolve this? Iâm happy to provide additional details if that would help. Thank you very much for your assistance.103Views0likes14CommentsRenamed folders in my Dropbox folder but the changes didn't sync to the cloud
Hello, Iâm having an issue with Dropbox. Iâve renamed several folders on my local machine to make them easier to manage, but the folder names in the Dropbox cloud still reflect the old names. Iâve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Dropbox desktop app, but the cloud folder names remain unchanged. Could you please help me force Dropbox to update the folder names in the cloud to match the renamed folders on my computer? Thank you!22Views0likes1CommentI see PC and PC (2) in Selective Sync settings - could they be duplicates?
Hello! I am trying to clean up my folders before adding a new laptop to my account. My current computer, which is based on a 2023 repair, shows PC and PC (2) as folders for synching. I would like to know if both PC and PC (2) can be combined or if there is a way to merge these. (I don't know which is PC and which is PC (2), but I think PC (2) is the more active one. I am scared to delete the first set of folders in case there is something on there that is not in PC (2), but it's hard to tell. Thank you!24Views0likes1CommentHow can I see all files in Windows explorer without having to download all content first?

We are currently unable to use Dropbox on Windows Surface Pro Devices with Snapdragon Processors as they do not allow for Online-Only files. This causes the entirety of their files to sync to the device and renders the device unusable as all disk space is consumed.108Views2likes8Comments
