A Simpler Way to Delete and View Photos
I often want to clear out unwanted photos on the Dropbox app, but it’s so cumbersome just to delete a photo that I quickly give up. In the main view the photos are too small to see any detail, but if you click on the photo it takes steps and scrolling to delete, which makes deleting one photo take too much time. It would be nice to have at least one more view option with photos about 2-3 times bigger and any easy delete option.
Removing My Mac folders from Dropbox
Hello - I have on on-going issue that I need help. I wish to remove the“My Mac” folders (/Desktop, /Downloads and /Documents directories using a .local folder) from my Dropbox account that got erroneously installed during the set-up of a new computer (running Big Sur 11.1). Unfortunately, I have been unable to disable the "computer backup" feature under my account, preferences, etc. It only says SET UP (but I have already set it up). In addition, I cannot get the device unlinked from dropbox.com when I try that method. All of this is is all being done on the same device where computer backup was set up, but it is still not working. I need some help undoing this. Thank you.
Unable to delete files... which cannot be unlocked
I am attempting to delete some rather large files from my wife's computer so she can update to the latest version, Big Sur, for her Macbook Air. She previously downloaded the files from her minister's Bible study forum on Dropbox. She can easily access them from Dropbox.com, so I thought it possible to delete her dropbox folder. Unfortunately, the files did not go away and the Dropbox folder doesn't show up in Finder. I found a lot of the files by searching for the large Zoom files. When I try to delete these files individually, they are locked and will not unlock. The system says she does not have the appropriate permission. I can't change the permissions. How can I delete these files? Note the following screenshot. The Dropbox folder appears to be located in the Documents folder, but it does not show up; it is hidden and I do not know how to unhide it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Rick
Attempting to disable backup, but I get an error
I recently got a new mac and I turned on the automatic backup feature. I was having trouble downloading files from the internet, so I decided to try turning off the backup feature since it was related to the Downloads folder. However, when I try to turn off automatic backup, either for an individual folder, or entirely, I get this message: "Couldn't stop backup because My Mac was renamed, deleted or moved. Undo this change, and then continue" Of course I didn't rename, delete or move 'My Mac' and so I'm unsure of how to fix this so I can turn off backups. Does anyone have an idea of how to turn it off? I have no files in any of the relevant folders, so I don't even have any files that I need. I just want to turn off the feature.
