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.
Moving Folders from Dropbox to Photos Album on MacBook
I moved many folders to my Photo Albums and now when I do I get this message. Ive tried 5 more folders, it's the same message. I unsynced every device except MB. I want to move each folder to photos and as I do, I delete that folder on Dropbox.com. Any PDF's in my folders I make a new folder and move it to my Home in Finder. How do I find my post after it gets mixed with everyone else's?
Excel sharing violations when saving to Dropbox
I just started having problems saving Excel files to Dropbox yesterday. First, I get this message: Then when I click select, I get this: Then when I click okay, I get this: Then it creates a temporary file, which I can’t find, and if I try close the Excel file, I get the same series of messages. What is going on?
MacOS Finder errors
I'm still having the same problem despite following your instructions in ticket #23327492 The MacOS FINDER app often freezes, causing transfers between folders to stall. This results in the need to either "relaunch" or "force quit" the Finder application. This only started happening after I allowed the MacOS system folder to be integrated with the DROPBOX app.
Sycn issues when moved to DropBox File Provider on Mac
When I moved from Dropbox as a folder, to the File Provider service on my mac these errors started showing. All of these files are on the Mac HD, have never been in my dropbox ... and I don't want them to sync. Can someone please advise how to resolve these issues, without the need to give Drop box access to the files. thanks in advance.MacOS Finder windows reverting from Dropbox folders to root directory
I have an M1 Mini (OS 14.3) with two monitors, and since I'm always working on multiple projects, each with its own folder, I keep Finder windows open for each of them, some on different desktops, some with a dedicated desktop of their own. Recently, when the Mac's been sitting idle for any length of time (typically overnight, but not always), I'll find that all of the windows that pointed to folders in Dropbox are now showing the root directory (see attached pic.) I have to re-map all of the windows back to the DB folder they were originally displaying. This is a huge PITA, and forces me to keep a list of the projects that I'm trying to pay attention to. Rebooting, deleting plists, Safe Mode, and all the usual Mac Finder hacks have no effect. Folders on a local drive (e.g. "Eclipse stuff" in the pic) are not affected, so this seems to be a Dropbox problem. Is anybody else seeing this? Started happening in early March 2024.
