Hi I added comments into a text file, saved it and uploaded the file into Dropbox on my PC. I can open Dropbox in two ways: taskbar > globe (1) etc. or taskbar > Folders (2) etc. When I open Dropbox (1): the file opens but without my comments. Going route (2): the comments are visible. Is this the way it should be? Is…

I store many PDF files in Dropbox, including invoices, utility bills, and personal documents. I'm looking for a simple folder structure that makes everything easy to find. How do you organize your files?
I recently found that many files were removed from my Basic (free) account after I received a notification saying my account was over the storage limit and that files would be deleted if I did not take action by January 30, 2026. These were important personal files. The files are no longer visible in my account, and they…

After making certain folders online or offline some time back, this one particular folder has a red X, which in turn puts a red X on the entire Dropbox folder. I can't figure out what the issue is. Everything…

This effectively wipes out one of the most…

The meta data field "title" and perhaps "length" as optional columns would be superb. I can see this same request being helpful for photos.
