How to sync folders from Dropbox online to my desktop app?
Hi, I am using dropbox plus trial now. I have all the folers saved to dropbox online now, then today I installed dropbox app to my windows 11 laptop. Since the files are so large, so I only select some folers to sync to my deskstop dropbox app, all other folders are saved to dropbox online. Question, there is one folder, which is available online, how to sync the folder to dropbox app? thanks!
The syncing icons on my files got moved after a Dropbox update
Da un aggiornamento di dropbox (attualmente ho installata la versione 212.4.5767), le icone di sincronizzazione (prima incorporate dentro a quelle dei file, in basso) sono finite a lato ben distanti... Così come mostrato qui a seguire. Ho provato a controllare ma non sto utilizzando né Onedrive né altri cloud con la sincronizzazione. Ho provato a reinstallare il client WIN di Dropbox. Niente da fare... Rimane tutto così. Sul PC di mia moglie e mio figlio le icone sono quelle classiche (con la spunta verde o altro, ma incorporate DENTRO alle icone dei file o cartelle e NON a lato). Originalmente erano così... Mi piacerebbe trovare un modo per ripristinarle allo stato originale, molto più pratico e veloce. Grazie a chiunque possa darmi una mano a risolvere
Dropbox seems to be corrupting files…..
I’m afraid we’re are migrating away from Dropbox, however whilst doing so we have noticed the following issue…. (Windows 11 – Latest Dropbox Version). Hence we though this may be useful. Most of our 2TB files are stored as “Online” only using Selective Sync. We then change the file status to “Available offline” so Dropbox copies(sync’s) the files back to the local disk from Dropbox.com. After some time (several hours) the Dropbox app confirms that all files are sync’d and the Dropbox task bar icon also indicates a complete/no activity status. The PC is rebooted and Dropbox is then uninstalled When trying to view via the PC the now sync’d Zip, Jpeg, Docx some of the files are corrupted/won’t open. As a test using Dropbox.com we manually download a problem file using MS Edge and the files will open correctly. It would seem that the Windows Dropbox client indicates it has finished its jobs even through it hasn’t fully completed syncing … We've also noticed that the corrupted file vs good file byte size are the same. We could duplicate this fault. Any thoughts ?
Shared folders missing only in File Explorer on Windows, why?
I am struggling to see shared files on my PC at work. They show up on dropbox.com, my phone and mac at home. I have double checked the file names to be sure there are no "disallowed" characters. I have shared the folder and I have reshared each individual file. When I opened one of the files on my PC it said the file was last edited by the owner 423 years ago. We checked time and date on her mac and my PC to be sure that was not the issue. NOPE, those were fine too. This is the first issue I have had with sharing since we started using dropbox in 2008. Hoping someone might be able to talk me through this.
Syncing doesn't start automatically on Windows
Hi, It's been a couple of months now that the dropbox app doesn't start automatically on my windows computer whereas it should and it did before. I checked the autorisations, firewall and antivirus, list of apps starting with the computer, I also reinstalled totally dropbox app but the problem isn't solved. My neighbour has the same problem by the way. Can you help me please ? ThanksOne of my Windows computers isn't syncing and I don't see the Dropbox icon in the taskbar.
mijn Dropbox synchroniseert niet meer! Ik heb bestanden aangemaakt en gewijzigd op mijn laptop werkkamer (windows 10) en in de woonkamer gebruik ik mijn kleine laptop (windows 11) en daarop is niets terug te vinden! Bovendien zie ik het Dropbox icoontje onder in de taakbalk niet. Wel de blue tooth en One drive. Wie weet de oplossing?
