136 TopicsHow do I fix a 'Word cannot open the document: user does not have access privileges' error?
I have been using dropbox to store and access microsoft documents on my mac for months but out of nowhere this morning when I clicked to open a document I was told 'Word cannot open the document: user does not have access privileges'. I created the document so I don't see why there would be an issue. Does anyone have advice on how to fix this? Thank youSolved109KViews0likes24CommentsAn Official Client for Synology NAS Devices
Hi all, Iuse Dropbox daily and I love it.As a part of my current setup, I sync the entirety of my Dropbox folder to my Synology NAS device, in order to have all of my data available to me locally, through LAN (my laptop doesn't have enough disk space to allow for that), and to be able to copythe Dropbox data elsewhere to serve as a backup. Right now, I'm using Synology's official application - Cloud Sync - to retrievethe Dropbox data. I believe it works quite well (it has some drawbacks), but it would NEVERbe as reliable as an official app. Since the OS that powers Synology units - DSM - isLinux-based, I hope thissuggestions is not too much, as there's already an official Dropbox Linux client. Thanks!37KViews130likes31CommentsDropbox Finder integration breaks Quick Look and thumbnails - Mac OS Mojave 10.14
For the past few months I've been having issues with image previews not loading on my Mac in Quick Look, Finder previews or icon thumbnails. I have experienced the problem on both Mac OS High Sierra and Mojave. My colleagues also seem to be experiencing the same issue. I finally took the time this week to figure out what is causing the issue. As far as I can tell the problem is caused by Dropbox Finder integration. As soon as I turned off Dropbox finder integration (and restart the machine) file previews and Quick Look work perfectly. For now I'm keeping Dropbox Finder integration turned off - I'm a designer and image previews are incredibly useful. I'd prefer to be able to enable Dropbox Finder integration as the sync status icons are useful. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix?Solved28KViews13likes48CommentsIn a "mdworker quit unexpectedly" loop after turning on Smart Sync
Ever since turning on Dropbox Smart Sync, Spotlight has been going nuts and using tons of CPU. The helper app "mdworker" is constantly crashing.Will report back after Dropbox finishes indexing all the Smart Sync files. PS. Funny you can't link Dropbox photos to the image uploader in this forum.Solved22KViews0likes102CommentsMy desktop app is stuck on syncing constantly

Hey folks, When viewing dropbox files from the Safari browser (Safari v 13.0) I can no longer see the "Show in Finder" or 'Open in Word" / "Open in Adobe Acrobat" options for files. I also have Chrome installed on my Mac (v77.0.3865.90) and I can confirm that these DO work on Chrome. See pics below. These items used to show in Safari, however it seems that after updating to Safari v13.0 this has stopped working. Any ideas for resolution would be gratefully received as Safari is my default browser. Cheers, Scott17KViews7likes109CommentsStop Dropbox desktop app automatically importing photos from memory card
Hi, I am new to the Dropbox way of life and have a question. When I plug in the memory card from my camera, the Dropbox page comes up to download my photos. I would like to disable this feature and return to the way things were set up before downloading Dropbox. Before then, my tool was the Microsoft editor.

I hope I'm asking in the right place. Did Dropbox do away with the "Enable Finder Integration" option? When it's *disabled* the image dimensions are displayed in the Finder with my pictures rather than "up to date"... That's what I want, to disable it. I don't want the big green check mark. I can't find the "Enable Finder Integration" option in preferences anymore.Solved14KViews3likes14Comments
