No option for "make online only" when I right click my files
I have a professional DropBox account and I'm working on a Mac, OS 12.5. I have several files that are sync'd locally that I would like to move off my hard drive and make online only. When I right-click on the folders, however, I'm not getting the option from the drop-down menu to make the files online only. Any suggestions? Thank you!

Dropbox Mac has hijacked my Screenshots
I have Dropbox on my Mac OS Sonoma. As soon as it was installed, my Screenshots disappeared from my Mac Desktop and appeared in Dropbox. How can I stop this? I do NOT want my screenshots in Dropbox. They need to be on my Mac desktop. Thanks for any help--as a last resort I will just get rid of Dropbox from my Mac if there is no remedy for this. Caroline

Recent activity empty on the desktop app on macOS
Is it just for me that ever since the latest update, nothing ever shows up in recent activity?

Documents folder on Mac is missing, replaced by Dropbox link
Hi I was looking for my documents on my mac desktop and it has somehow now been linked directly to Dropbox, not my documents on my desktop mac. I cannot find any of my documents that were on my computer. In checking dropbox.com, some of the documents / folder are in Backup on dropbox for my previous Mac, but I need to stop Dropbox taking over my document folder on my current mac, and get back the docs that were happily there just a week ago. Any suggestions? thanks Jon

What does it take to become eligible for File Provider on my Mac?
I don't understand why this isn't rolled out for all paying subscribers to Dropbox on Mac. I'm wondering if the lack of broad eligibility has anything to do with the fact that my offline files won't download to my drive so that they are accessible without having to individually download tens of thousands of files manually when I want to use them. I am not sure I'm getting my money's worth when the product doesn't work as expected.

Notifications for updates on folders do not appear on my MacBook
Hi, I know that a lot of people are annoyed by constant barrage of notification banners, but i face the reverse problem. I don't see dropbox notifications on my mac (its been so for a couple of years now, but i need this fixed now). I work on a lot of collaborative projects, so tese alerts are one way to nudge me to the folders that need my attention. Notifications banners on my mac for my mail, calendar work just fine. i have checked notification preferences on the dropbox badge in the menu bar, on website, i have allowed for notifications from Dropbox when i am in do not disturb mode etc. My work around has been to manually go to the dropbox icon on the menu bar and check for activity on shared folders. I am on MacSonoma v14.5,

How do I choose a different location for my Dropbox folder? I have MacAir Sonoma 14.0
I have Mac air Sonoma 14.0. On my old computer I was able to place the Dropbox folder on my desktop. With this new laptop, I am unable to change the folder location. If I go to library and find the Dropbox folder and place it on my desktop, it says I won’t be able to connect to Dropbox until I put the folder back in its original spot. How do I put the folder on my desktop?

How can two users access their own Dropbox accounts on the same macOS laptop?
I need to set up a Macbook to work with multiple accounts. Two people use the laptop, they have separate admin accounts on the machine. Also the two people have 2 indipendent Dropbox Plus accounts. I need each one to be able to use their own dropbox account when loggin in on the laptop. Is this possible? Is this straighforward? Are there any cautionary steps to take? Do each user need to disconnect from his Dropbox account before handing the machine to the other person? These people have 2 separate accounts on MacOs and they don't know each other's password for accessing their user on the laptop

Microphone not working in Dropbox Capture app
Hi, I have a Macbook Pro M1 and can't select any microphone in the Capture app. This is just a problem with this app because, with others like Loom, it works. I tried also with an external microphone but it still doesn't work.
