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.
Re: Stable Build 214.4.5217
Family Room icon is missing on Mac, and when viewed under Get Info, the icon flickers on and off. Have tried: - Turning folder off entirely via selective sync, then back on - Making folder online-only - Downloading entire folder Here's a link to a screen recording: link removed to avoid traffic.
Dropbox icon not displaying current files/folders when clicking on the Dropbox icon in the menu bar
Since the last few days, the Dropbox icon in the menu bar (MacOS) has stopped displaying files and folders. As soon as I type "files or folders" in the search bar, it displays all contents. Any changes I make (add / delete) are reflected when I use the search bar. I've tried various solutions suggested by Dropbox and other posts on the net, including uninstalling and reinstalling but nothing works. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Getting an error when recovering a subfolder of a team folder
Hello. Dropbox team folder is in use. I accidentally moved the subfolder inside the team folder to another location on desktop while using the desktop explorer, and it says I don't have permission to recover it again. What should I do in this situation?
Automatically sync all files to an explorable folder on Android?
It would be immensely helpful to me to be able to automatically download every file to a folder on my Android phone when it syncs with my Dropbox account, the same way it does on my Windows PC. I can't seem to be able to find a way to do this automatically the way it works on desktop, and it's very frustrating. I'm not sure if it matters, but I'm using the free version of Dropbox. If this is a feature supported by a higher tier, I'll happily upgrade.
Can't use Quicklook or see thumbnail previews for online-only files.
It has been several years since I was able to quicklook a file or see its thumbnail preview. I've had multiple different macs in that timespan. Is this just how it is now or is there a setting I need to fix? Thanks, Jamie PS. I use Dropbox Teams.
Since updating to Mac OS 15.2 files and folders do not appear on my desktop
For the past few months I have been using dropbox backup to backup my desktop files and folders. Everything has been working fine until this morning when i updated my OS to Sequoia 15.2 Now my files and folders do not appear on my desktop, although the Desktop folder still seems to be syncing and can be accessed from the shortcuts in the sidebar in Finder.If i drag and drop a file to my desktop it disappears, but can then be found in the desktop folder in finder. Is anyone else experiencing this?My files on my laptop show up as unreadable
Basically, I could see my file. But every time I clicked my file. For example, if I click the pdf file, it shows up unreadable. Chrome said The webpage atfile:///C:/Users/XXXX/Dropbox/CS1/HW4/hw04.pdf might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. I could not access to any one of my file. \ And I login to my dropbox account. I could not see any of the files. But on my laptop, I could see the file but cannot access them
