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.
My web account keeps freezing whenever I'm idle for more than 20 minutes.
I don't know what exactly has been changed, but being idle in a Dropbox folder on Web while working on a project (20-30 mins) causes issues with creating a new folder, or trying to move/copy/rename etc. It just freezes, and a refresh of the page keeps the page in a "loading" state. You have to fully close the tab and load Dropbox afresh for it to work again. Very, very, very annoying and it ruins the entire workflow. Having to navigate through all folders again to get back to where I was. Also please allow this "suggestion" for where you want to move/copy something to be toggled on/off, because it hasn't provided me the correct location once and it always loads in late causing a missclick...
The Dropbox folder is gone from my Mac Finder (running Sonoma 14.6.1).
I have been dealing with this for awhile now, I upgraded to Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1 and I can longer see my Dropbox in my finder, looks like Apple has blocked DB from iCloud and finder function? If you have any ideas I am open to input. coupdevill
The desktop app on Sonoma didn't create a Dropbox folder, why?
Okay, new Mac, Sonoma, installed dropbox app, it didn't create a Dropbox folder and sync the files to my local storage. If I open it in the app, then right click on the file, there is no sync only download, and it compresses it. So, no longer can I back upmy locals to dropbox? Also, it won't let me select multiple files, I have to do it one at a time? John
How can I move the Dropbox folder on Ubuntu 24.10 without a GUI?
In my new Ubuntu 24.10 with Dropbox installed from a .deb file downloaded from the official site, I can't manage its configuration. The GUI does not work here. I HAVE TO change the location of the ~Dropbox. It does not have any command to perform this change. Where is the configuration file with parameters about Dropbox's behavior? Any help will be so much appreciated. Thanks in advance.A duplicate Dropbox folder has been created - which folder syncs to my web account?
I thought it would be easy to rename my Dropbox folder from 'Dropbox' to "Dropbox 3GB" Now I have two dropbox folders... one shows in my sidebar, and both showsunder Users/myname/ folders.... The "new" one has a checkmark on it. also, a lot of my photos in the dropbox say zero bytes and no longer exist although they are also in my web dropbox. Which one is the "real" dropbox? how do I get rid of the other one? I cant seem to insert a screenshot . ( I am on a Macbook M2 chip running Sonoma 14.4) Thank you. Phyllis
