427 TopicsHow can I connect an existing Dropbox folder to my new Windows desktop app?
I've tried many time, but I just not able to sync my Dropbox Folder over a new Windows (and Dropbox) installation in my PC in a preexistent hard drive with my Dropbox Folder. So, I have to download, again, all my files for a hard drive that already has my Dropbox folder... Than, I have to deleted the previous synced folder. Please, any help?Solved60Views0likes5CommentsexFat support
ExFAT should come standard, no request necessary. We're in a future now where multiple operating systems and platforms are in use daily, NTFS isnt very friendly. FAT32 has its limitations with a 4GB file size limit and a maximum 2TB partition size, so it's not suitable for content creators. I've been a customer for 5 years and feel it's unnecessary for me to have to ask for this basic feature to be added. please add exFAT support. Thank you.927Views4likes3CommentsDesktop app saying "Reconnecting to the internet. This may take a moment" on Windows 10
A few days ago Dropbox Desktop (Basic plan) stopped synchronizing with the cloud: neither files that I update in my computer are uploaded nor files that other upload into the share folders. The message that appears is "Reconnecting to the internet. This may take a moment". Nothing has changed in the PC, no updates, and the network works well except for this. There are other, older posts with similar issues, but I have not seen a solution so far. They mention a problem with the firewall, which I check and does not seem to be my case. Any advice on how to address this?

I'm on Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1 I have set the preference in Sync to make all files available offline but when I go into Camera Uploads in my Dropbox folder I need to right click and choose "Make Available Offline" to download the files from the cloud. I have restarted Dropbox on the Mac. Any ideas why I can't get files to download?Solved476Views0likes8CommentsHow can I sync my Dropbox files to the new Mac device I got?
I recently migrated my data from a macbookpro OS12.5, to a MacbookAir 14.6 M3. Now I can still find all my files and folders online using Safari, but the computer dropbox app is black. There are no files or folders in it. In my macbookpro, all the dropbox files and folders were online only to save space in the HD. How can I sync my old dropbox files to my new computer? I still want to keep them all online only, so I do not want the data on my computer, only the index of what is available.120Views0likes1CommentWorking in a new department, new work folders show up in web interface but not Windows Explorer
I recently transferred to a new department (I'll call it Dept O), but within the same company. When I open the Dropbox web interface, I see all of the folders for Dept O. But when I open the Dropbox folder in Windows Explorer, I only see folders from my old department (Dept M). The problem is that I'm trying to run a program that will create a series of new folders within one of the Dept O folders on Dropbox. The program keeps giving me an error that the specified path does not exist, presumably because the target folder doesn't show up in Windows. As a test, I tried to manually recreate the correct folder path by creating a new folder in the Dropbox folder in Windows. It created the folder, but appended "(Selective Sync Conflict 1)" to the folder name. So obviously Dropbox knows that the desired folder already exists. But I still can't get that folder to appear in Windows. The folder structure I'm trying to create is part of a much larger set of folders. There will be 8-10 people using these folders, so I can't just use a different path or folder name.Solved1.7KViews0likes2CommentsMy files are updated, and with all the syncing icons, but the app is still syncing.
Hello, can anyone shed light on what is going on? In the Dropbox folder in Windows explorer, all folders in the main root directory have a solid green circle with a white checkmark. So do all the individual files in the rood directory. Even though this is the case, my dropbox software has a list of files which say "Waiting to sync". The blue bar fills and the message turned to "Download complete". At the bottom it says "Your files are up to date". When i try to open some files I ger an error of: "The directory name is invalid". The green circle should mean that the folder and all files in it are available locally. What is going on here?223Views0likes5Comments
