Best Regards!45Views0likes5CommentsLow space on internal drive, and added an external one. But now content is added to both of them.
I have run low on space on my internal drive and added an external drive for my Dropbox. I have gone through the process of connecting and syncing my Dropbox account to my new external Dropbox drive. However, it appears that any files I add or remove from my new Dropbox external drive are also being added and removed from my Dropbox folder on my internal system drive. When I look at Dropbox Preferences, I see that the location is set to sync only with my external Dropbox drive. I have restarted my computer and the problem persists. Any suggestions?19Views0likes1CommentCertFindCertificateInStore failed with: (-2146885628) Cannot find object or property.
As multiple other users have already reported over the last couple years, I am seeing many of these error events in my Windows 10 Event Viewer, all coming from the DbxSvc(Dropbox service) event source. Can you all please fix your desktop client software to stop spamming my event logs with these errors? This issue has dragged on far, far too long already. Either stop emitting these errors, or fix the underlying problem. Thank you.43KViews9likes98CommentsI migrated my Dropbox files from the old MacBook to the new and they got duplicated.
Hi, I just migrated all of my documents from my old Macbook Air to my New Macbook Air. - This included my DropBox files that were on my old Macbook Air, that are syncing with my Dropbox Account in the cloud. On my new Macbook Air, it is now asking me if: I would like to start syncing the Dropbox App. - If I say Yes, will I get duplicated files on my new MacBook Air (as I already have the files on my new MacBook Air?

Hi, On macOS Sequoia 15.1.1, the following menu on folder : "make available offline" (my translation from french) is not working. I would have to select it on each file to get it available offline. Do you experience the same issue ?32Views0likes5CommentsFiles not available offline, even though I've selected the option in my app's preferences.
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?Solved502Views1like8CommentsCan't open Dropbox on new macOS Sequoia 15.2 - it does't respond and closes

Good evening, On one of my computers, a Linux computer (Zorin OS 17 Pro based on Ubuntu 18.04), the Dropbox application is stuck on “Start” and therefore no longer synchronizes my dropbox. Thanks in advance, Sincerely, Hervé38Views0likes3CommentsInstalled 214.3.5140 and the behavior when I take a screenshot changed
Hi, I have this update installed. My Dropbox screenshot behavior has recently changed, and I have not changed anything. I save all screenshots with Dropbox. In the past few days, the new behavior is that when I hit print screen button, I get a preview of the screenshot in the bottom right corner of my desktop. The Dropbox icon appears in the taskbar. It steals focus. If I wait like 10 seconds, the preview finally closes. This is EXTREMELY disruptive. I have checked my preferences, and there is no setting for disabling this. Google says that there is supposed to be a setting for it, but when I go to the Dropbox Help, I can't find any information about it. I also saw (with Google) that there is something called "Dropbox Capture" that seems to have similar behavior, but I have not installed that - EVER. Please help. Thanks!Solved71Views0likes12Comments
