Save, view, share, and access all your files with the Dropbox folder in Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, the taskbar/menu bar, on dropbox.com, and with the latest iOS and Android apps.
If you need me, give me a shout.
Totally agree! Its making me so frustrated. FIX IT DROPBOX TEAM.
Seems like it's time to find another service. Hate to do it as I've used Dropbox practically since it started up, but the online version sucks and I don't always have internet (travel a lot) so it seems Dropbox will no longer work for me or my business. Too bad they screwed up a good thing!
