Dropbox Password no longer syncs with my iMac
Hello everyone, I use Dropbox and Dropbox Password for syncing my passwords. I use Dropbox Password on three devices: <> Samsung S20 phone <> Microsoft Surface Pro <> Apple iMac However, for the past few weeks, the synchronization with my iMac hasn’t been working. This means that the passwords I create on my iMac don’t show up on my Surface or my Samsung, and vice versa. However, syncing between my Surface and Samsung works perfectly. I’m using the Dropbox Password web extension on the Safari browser of my iMac. Has anyone encountered the same issue? Thanks for your help!
Files on Dropbox online aren't syncing to my new MacBook Air.
Hi, Files from my Dropbox on the Web are not syncing to my New Mackbook Air. I believe I have gone through all of the help and done everything I think. That said, I'm wondering if my web dropbox account is linked to my new MacBook air and that maybe that's the problem. I could really use some help. Thanks!
My files sync as online-only, but I need to make them available offline. How do I do this?
I keep virtually all my files on drop box so I have them continuously backed up. I have about 700gb of data used for this. I just bought a new computer with windows 11 and after getting drop box up and running it appeared that all my stuff was synced up. I thought it was going to take several house to copy over that much data but it only took about 20 minutes. Now I am discovering that many of my file are actually "off line" and when I open them I have a lag waiting for the file to come over the internet. I often have a need to use my computer when there is no internet connection and I must have all my file available on my C drive. How can I get all my files onto my c drive? Is this something that is actually happening in the background and I am just not seeing it? (I only got it working yesterday)
Files aren't syncing on my Windows device, but no firewall or network issues.
Dropbox (DB) periodically stops syncing but there are no firewall nor network issues. I just find out that files have not been updated despite my working online for hours with no issues. This is not a firewall issue either. I can uninstall and reinstall the desktop app and things work again...for a while. Inevitably the sync fails eventually. On occasion I can stop the DB processes with Task Manager then restart the app and the sync SOMETIMES starts again. But just now I tried that and it didn't work. Likely I'll either have to re-start or more likely uninstall and reinstall the app. Anyone else have this problem, and if so, did you resolve it? I can't figure this out. It seems to be pretty random. I'm on Windows 11 Home.

Hi! I'm a MacOs user As the topic says, the APP dropbox not working anymore when I travelling to China even with a working VPN, can anyone help me with this? The VPN working for google, YouTube and Gmail and everything that are restricted in China, but the dropbox app are just not working!!!

How can I get Dropbox in Finder?
I have read the earlier discussions on getting DropBox into Finder and the bottom Menu but unfortunately they are not working on my new MacBookPro (which is a very basic model). It is using Sonoma 14.7.1. I need to constantly access my DropBox files from wherever I am working, but am unable to dop so. This is a huge hindrance to my work on a daily basis. Desperate for advice please.I can't make files online-only on my Windows machine
Earlier I could make folders and documents "only available online" from the filemanager on my PC by right-click. Now my PC is full and I want to reinnstall in, but I don't manage to make my dropbox folders only available online. This description help.dropbox.com/nb-no/sync/make-files-online-only tells me that that is still possible, but the opsion is not available on my PC any more. If I delete the files, I'll also delete them online. What to do? I have a family account."Make available offline" option is not working on folder level on Mac OS Sequoia 15.1.1
Hi, On macOS Sequoia 15.1.1, the following menu on folder : "make available offline" (my translation from french) is not working. I would have to select it on each file to get it available offline. Do you experience the same issue ?
