You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Mac OS Sequoia is arriving. Is DropBox ready?
Hi everyone,who remembers the chaos that happened last year with the Mac OS Sonoma update and all the issues we had with DropBox? There was a particular version that caused syncing to go haywire. I remember it all too well, as it took us almost a month to figure out how to fix the problem. What will happen with Mac OS Sequoia? I admit, I'm quite anxious and would appreciate some reassurance from the DropBox team. Thanks.
How to expand left sidebar width on the website?
How can I expand the left sidebar width. I have many levels of files and I can not see the names of folders that I want to move files into. As you can see below, all I can see is the first letter of the folder "A" and there are several of them. I want to be able to expand the left sidebar so I can see the names of those folders and not just the first letter. I was able to do it before, but not now for some reason. Thanks!

Can't open Dropbox folder with Explorer (Windows 10)
I have been using DB for several years without problem. Today I find I cannot open folders in my Dropbox folder on my C: drive with Explorer. I can see them if I use the web app. I have rebooted and reinstalled the program, to no avail. If I click on it, I get the hourglass, which will not stop unless I forcibly close it with Task Manager. Any ideas? Rather desperate here. I do have another Dropbox account through my institution, but it does not reference this folder.
New Mac Ventura Update - Online/Offline Files Not Syncing
I've recently updated to the v.167.4.4719 version of Dropbox which now changes the location of where your dropbox is located and also changes the way the icons represent what is downloaded online/offline. The issues I'm having are as follows and I wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing this and worked out a way to fix it? 1. Syncing files online/offline. - It seems as if right-clicking a file and making it online gives me the error code "The file is currently in use by an application." even though I just have finder open. Then any files I have downloaded offline, if I try to make them online-only it does nothing, no sync or change of status on the file. 2. New Icons. Above is a file I have online-only that has the green check mark as if it's downloaded offline then also this new cloud icon. If I right-click and go "make available offline" nothing happens. Then if I click the cloud icon, it downloads the file as if it's offline but then the green check mark disappears. Now again if I try to make this "online only" by right-clicking and selecting the option, it gives me the error "The file is currently in use by an application." Overall this whole update seems buggy and confusing. I've been using dropbox for over 10 years and have never experienced these kinds of issues. I contacted support today and they told me I couldn't roll back my version of dropbox which worked totally fine, and also there's nothing that can be done about this. It really doesn't feel good enough and I'll be looking elsewhere if these things cant be addressed soon. Please share below if you've had a similar experience.
