Earlier this week, my DB apparently stopped syncing across my home laptop and office desktop. Online advice is to uninstall and reinstall. All day yesterday and now today, I have been trying to uninstall. At first, I kept getting the 'failed' message. Then I went into Task Manager and ended all tasks related to DB, and…

I'm trying to upload a QuickBooks backup file to Dropbox, something that I do regularly, and the upload window is just showing "waiting" and not doing anything. What's happening here?
I use DB for storing video and photo content for my event business. We've been in business for 11 years, so that means there are a LOT of files, and everything is in lots of subfolders. I am trying to downsize my DB quickly, and want to try to find all the largest files to start with, and right now it is like finding a…

I have dropbox installed on two Fedora 44 Linux systems, syncing between them. Most files sync fine, but when I create a file like this: cat > foo\\bar test ^D then dropbox filestatus foo\\bar foo\bar: unsyncable That filename works fine for everything else, but dropbox doesn't like it. Isn't this a dropbox bug?
I'm running Dropbox (paid personal account) on Windows 10 (version 10.0.19045.7291) and the right-click context menu has completely disappeared from Windows Explorer. The sync overlay icons (green checkmarks etc.) are still showing correctly, but no Dropbox options appear when right-clicking files or folders. Here's…
Many companies prohibit employees from generating their own Dropbox account, which is needed to comment on the files. So I'd love to have a way for people to put their email and just add comments to files and folders I've shared with them via a link

Right now it automatically renames the subject with the filename you are going to save the signed copy as. I like to add "SIGNED-" in front of the filename being signed so I can quickly at glance verify…
When viewing a PDF within Dropbox, I am constantly running into the issue where me attempting to scroll or pinch-zoom results in the sideways-swipe action being triggered, which moves to the next PDF in the folder. Please consider reducing the sensitivity of this gesture or removing it entirely. I emailed support and they…
We commonly use US letter (8 1/2 x 11), Legal (8 1/2 x 14), and Ledger (11 x 17)) sized documents in our everyday operations. Dropbox Sign squishes everything into a letter size document and the file is permanently distorted into letter size, as seen both in downloads and printing. We are being forced to utilize a…
I switched machine the other day and waited for Dropbox to sync a bunch of files, then I started working. But I forgot that rules.dropboxignore was not synced. I had read the doc a while ago, created it with meaningful rules, it was fire-and-forget. I noticed that some files started getting synced like…
