The app re-indexes all files after each restart on Mac.
Each time I restart my Mac, Dropbox goes through reindexing of (seemingly) all files in my folder. The Mac's CPU usage goes up and the fan kicks in - it makes the computer slow for at least 15 minutes. It does finally complete, but it would obviously be much better if this did not happen.
My files take a long time to sync on my MacBook desktop app.
It is taking a very long time to sync files with MacBook. Rest of team uses PCs and not having the same issues. Documents that I create or edit on my Mac are not syncing. I've tried pausing sync and restarting and that usually restarts the sync, but this is not a workable solution in a fast-paced office. Solutions, please??
Dropbox disappeared from Finder on Mac OS 15.3.2, and I can't locate it easily
Using a Macbook Pro with OS 15.3.2 (just installed last night). Now dropbox is no longer listed on the left side of the Finder options in the Location section (where it's always been). How do i get it back there or where has it been moved to? If i look under my user name, dropbox is there with my folders, but i cannot 'copy link' to send to client. Please advise.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.Dropbox icon does not show in the menu bar on Mac OS Big Sur

I want to delete dbkextd, but I'm unable to uninstall Dropbox from my macOS 15.3.1.
Tried to follow steps to uninstall DroBox from my MacBook Pro 16 running iOS 15.3.1. Received notification that DroBox is still running and can't be unistalled? How do I resolve this? I am following these steps to uninstall the Dropbox desktop app completely (https://help.dropbox.com/installs/uninstall-dropbox) and then continue with the advanced reinstallation steps (https://help.dropbox.com/installs/advanced-reinstall). Thanks
One of my Mac devices doesn't sync content from my Dropbox folder online.
This subject line has come up before, but my problem is not caused by filenaming errors. I have dropbox on four computers; everything syncs fine except on one laptop: the laptop will update files that are edited on other machines, but anything I edit on the laptop will not sync to the desktop machines. This includes file edits, moving files/folders around and folder/file renaming. None of the relevant files are shared with other people, only with my account. I've checked everything to do with firewalls and permissions, all of which are as they should be, reinstalled dropbox, logged out and in, restarted computer and updated operating systems. There is plenty of space in the Dropbox Pro account and on the laptop hard drive (and the hard drives of all other machines). All machines are running MacOs Ventura 13.7.4. All are correctly connected to the internet and have LAN sync enabled. Some of the sync icons on the laptop show the blue active circle, but those are files that are updating from the other machines. Some files on the laptop have the red x and I cannot get them to upload to the cloud. I have tried making all the files offline only, to force them to sync to the cloud, but those that do show the cloud icon, are still not updating to the other machines. I have tried making the entire dropbox on this computer 'offline only', but still none of the files are updating/uploading. There are no error messages, but the activity monitor seems to be permanently 'updating files'; only a few MB, but even leaving it chunking along overnight does not clear the updating queue.
