Phone number for technical support
I am having ongoing issues trying to get my Dropbox files to sync with my desktop. I am probably a few months behind on files on my desktop as this computer had to be taken to IT for some repairs. I left it running for more than 24 hours and it's just not working right. I have followed all of the troubleshooting guides online. Does anyone have a phone number so I can actually talk to someone from Dropbox?

What happens to my photos now? Are they deleted?
As per the other posts and threads they stay on your account to download. Dropbox does not automatically delete them, but you will need to remove them from Dropbox at some point as the T&C's do state they can, if they wish, remove them.
I cannot understand why a company that charges 99 euros a year doesnt have any customer support.
It does have customer support - for free and paying users. Its just via email. Again, as is repeatedly said in this thread.

Telephone support I meant. Netflix, paypal, ebay......amazon.....some of them even cheaper than dropbox......they all have excellent support. Dropbox only attends to business customers. As I said....a joke.

I have a mac. On my desktop in the Finder window I click on a file in my dropbox folder. Then I click on the dropbox icon on the top tool bar. I click the down arrow that should allow me to share the file with a code.
Instead, I get a greyed box that says loading menu but the menu never loads. This method of sharing a file worked at one time and was very convenient, I don't know how I lost it.
Any ideas?
Thank you,

How do I force sync the things I have change in my local folders to the shared files in the cloud? I've read directions for syncing and my icon tells me the info is sync'ed but my teammates do not have my changes in their Dropbox. Please advise ASAP.

You can also open a ticket with Dropbox Support. This should be done for any account or billing related issues as we're not able to help with those here in the forums.

Hi, I've tried submitting help desk tickets, and I get a link to a mobile page that can't answer my questions. I'm blind, and I use Voiceover like many blind users. Unfortunately, with this new update, if I double tap (normal for voiceover) the files tab, and then touch the screen to find a file, the app automatically closes. Seems to work fine without Voiceover, but I don't have my files memorized and their exact placement, so that doesn't help me. Also wish files, not recents ws the default but another issue. I'd like to be able to use the files tab, and don't know how to get this information to someone who might be able to fix it. Thanks for any help or if you know whom to pass this onto that would be great. Myself and other blind users would appreciate it. --Katherine
