View, download, and export
Need support with viewing, downloading, and exporting files and folders from your Dropbox account? Find help from the Dropbox Community.
From File Manager, when I click on a .pdf, the preview pane shows this:
Index of C:\users\owner\dropbox\ and then lists everything in my dropbox. This shows on everyone's pc I have shared the folders with.
This is only happening in the first two folders that I know of. I have at least 25 folders.

This isn't a Dropbox issue. Remove the pound sign # from your folder name

Jay, I have windows 10. This Index shows only and on ALL .pdf's in the first two Dropbox folders, above the .dropbox.cache (you can see to the left) Normally I would see the actual .pdf and I still do on all the files after the cache folder.

THIS WORKED!!!! Thank you!
hi I have the same problem but this is what I can see
Hey @Sesame1, sorry to jump in here, but have you tried removing the # sign from your folder names as @Rich suggested?
I can see at least 6 folders with that symbol in their names in your screenshot.

Yes, It was the # causing the issue. I removed all of them and directed my other team members to do the same and the issue was cleared up!
So Thankful for this community!!!
