How can I expand the left sidebar width. I have many levels of files and I can not see the names of folders that I want to move files into. As you can see below, all I can see is the first letter of the folder "A" and there are several of them. I want to be able to expand the left sidebar so I can see the names of those folders and not just the first letter. I was able to do it before, but not now for some reason. Thanks!1.7KViews3likes6CommentsSafari 16.1 (macOS Ventura) cannot access Dropbox files
Safari cannot open the page.The error is: "The operation couldn't be completed. (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error 1.)" (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork:1) Dropbox recently moved itself to "a safer location", i.e., ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox. Everything was fine. Afterward, I upgraded macOS to 13.0 (Ventura). Safari is now ver 16.1 and cannot open html files stored in Dropbox. All other apps appear to be quite happy with cloud versions of Dropbox files, including Chrome, TextEdit, macVim, Terminal, etc. Probably something minor, but not sure what.Solved5.3KViews3likes28CommentsURL to link account in Linux does not work
I'm trying to install in Linux. I have the app installed but when it brings up the URL to link your account to the computer the URL is not valid. It does not work. I can relaunch dropbox and it brings up another invalid URL. There is also no options I can find other than this invalid URL to link the account and get dropbox working. Where can I get a valid URL to link my computer? How can I make this work? Or do I need to find another service?Solved13KViews2likes47CommentsDownload option missing
I know this has worked before, so I must be doing something wrong. Downloading seems to be missing. Specifically, I'm trying to download a folder, but I can't find how to download a file without opening it either. There is no Download button anywhere I can find in the window. And when I right click on the folder or file, I don't see either Download or Open. I've tried two browsers (Chrome and Firefox) and am in Windows 10.Solved12KViews2likes7CommentsAll Contact Support pages give only 500 Error
I was attempting to start dropboxd on linux. It hangs on PyQt5 so I knew it was time to contact support. I searched for Dropbox support, clicked on the links and get nothin but 500 errors. Clicked the link for "Priority email support" --> 500 error Always 500 error The DB status page only list an android problem I have tried this in Chrome and Firefox on both Windows and Linux. The problem is obviously at Dropbox's end. Does anyone know anything about this or have any ideas? Thanks623Views1like2Comments
