Greetings,

I was able to fix this -- you have to uninstall (reboot) and then re-install dropbox. That re-installed all the permission stuff and got it working. Sadly there is no 'repair' option and I just went right for uninstall/reinstall.

Dropbox StaffHey Roger H.15, hope it’s OK if I jump in!
Would it be possible to provide a screenshot of any errors you keep receiving when trying to open your files?
Also, does this happen specifically for files that are set as Online-only or for local ones, too?
Let me know!

Nancy Thanks for your response. It seems to be a problem when I view photos on my PC (Dell Laptop running windows 10 and link to dropbox. When I go into dropbox directly thankfully all photos are there.
and
any advice or assistance would really be appreciated. Not sure what triggered this corruption, It could have been a recent windows upgrade, as they used to work for many years very nicely.

Hi
Yes but I have to individually click each picture and ask for local. Not sure why this changed but its quite painful. It is a real issue in the file manager - I can see them all if I go into drobox directly.
I'm getting this error. I'm trying to move an 'online-only' file to a different folder via cut/paste and it isn't working on my laptop. When I'm at home on my top tier PC I don't have issues, but on this laptop I'm getting errors. -- Obviously I can download and move the file. But I don't want to do that on my limited bandwidth when I'm not home.
Why can I not move files that are 'online-only'? Is there a setting I'm missing? All it should be doing is updating metadata on files and tell dropbox to move then. I can normally do this, but on this PC I can't.
I also want to delete a file, but it won't let me.
