113 TopicsHow do I rename the root folder?
I recently joined Dropbox for Business on a trial basis. As part of the process, it forcefully renames your Dropbox folder to "Dropbox (Personal)". I have since decided not to use Dropbox for Business. Although I now only have one dropbox folder, it is still called "Dropbox (Personal)" - it did not automatically change back when the accounts were unlinked. How do I get Dropbox to change the name back?Solved46KViews9likes24CommentsPossible conflict with Dropbox and Trend Micro (Dropbox freezing)
I have dropbox business, I will not say every computer, but half of the company's computers are crashing. At first I thought it could be a driver, a virus, or even a windows 10 error. I got to format 2 of them, and still they keep crashing, they get frozen screen, I can not do anything, I have to force the physical button. When I disable the dropbox, the computers work perfectly. All of them are running with the latest version 30.4.22.Solved16KViews1like46CommentsCreate MSI Installer
Why was this post made read only when it was never resolved. This was requested 3 years ago and has been totally and unprofessionally ignored. https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Installation-and-desktop-app/Please-release-an-MSI-Installer/m-p/26874#M5977 Incase they decide to be more unprofessional and delete it I will also paste the contents here, Please release an MSI Installer! Comment: Why has this not been addressed? This is a HUGE deal for IT admin, especially with Dropbox for Business. I'm piloting Dropbox for Business now, but if there's no progress on this, I will walk away from the product. Honestly guys, teamviewer even has an msi, and they aren't as big as you. Get on board and produce one! Why has none of this been addressed at all!? Any company that is worth a **bleep** provides this or would at least respond. All I have to say at this point is for anyone considering this product consider this; 1. They have ignored all customer request for this. 2. They do not respond to their customers as this was posted 3 years ago and has yet to even get a hello we see what you wrote 3. Is this the level of service you want to go into business with? They clearly do not care about their customer and without speaking one word shut down the post and made it read only as I am sure will be done with this one. Whatever you do I suggest you do not purchase from someone who would be so disrespectful. Watch in three years there won't be a response to this either. Truly pathetic.Solved12KViews1like3CommentsHow user-friendly is Dropbox on mobile, and how seamless is your collaboration with your team?

Hey guys, I just recently switched from Google Drive to Dropbox for Business. Finder on Mac OS 10.14 Mojave and the new dropbox desktop app won’t show file previews of my files, just the Apple default preview logo. However on the iOS app and on the web file previews show. This is a big deal for me because google drive offers this. My team has to have this or we won’t continue to use Dropbox. If anyone has any solutions please advise. I tried closing and opening the app and force quitting using activity monitor. Best Derek8KViews2likes16CommentsQNAP NAS Compatability

I have a Dropbox Business Advanced Plan. I am using two of the member accounts, one for business files and one for personal files. I want to separate silos for work and personal matters. I use a Mac and have two user accounts set up, one for business and one personal. I want to set up the business Mac user account to sync with with the DB user member account via the DB app. I want the Mac personal user to sync with the DB personal member account. I downloaded the DB app and set up the Mac business user to sync with the DB business member. It works just fine. I then set up the personal user to sync with the personal DB member account, and initially, it worked fine too. I could switch between user accounts and both DB member accounts synced with both Mac user accounts they way I intended. But the next day, I logged onto the Mac as the business user and the DB app worked fine. When I logged into the personal user Mac account, the DB app wouldn't start. "Couldn't start Dropbox. This is usually because of a permissions error. Storing your home folder on a network share can also cause an error." I can resolve by reinstalling the DB app, and setting up the personal account all over again. If I log out of one of the accounts, then log back in, I get the same error message. I appreciate any help from anyone who has encountered this. Thanks.Solved6.3KViews0likes22CommentsHow can I remove the word "(Personal)" in the name of my Dropbox folder?
I recently added a Dropbox Business account to my Mac and so Dropbox prompted me to add "(Personal)" in the name to signify which account it was. However, after disconnected the Dropbox Business account, my personal Dropbox folder is still named "Dropbox (Personal)". When I try to rename the folder to just "Dropbox," the computer tells me the "name "Dropbox" is already taken." Is there a way to rename this folder to just Dropbox again? Thanks so much for any and all help!5.9KViews5likes6Comments
