Dropbox desktop app scaling issues on Windows 10

Dropbox desktop app scaling issues on Windows 10

Greyfox
Helpful | Level 6

I would like to report Windows 10 display scaling issues with the Dropbox desktop app. At a windows display scaling value of 150% it is not possible to sign-in to the dektop client app, and it is not not possible to access the taskbar icon context menu via right clicking with mouse. 

I first noticed the issue while trying to use the Dropbox dektop app with an LG HDTV connected to my PC as a display. Windows automatically sets the recommended scaling to 150% on this display and causes the Dropbox desktop app to not function correctly.

Hi @Daphne

 

As expected, no changes upon downgrading to the current stable version.

But, as an aside, my computer is now syncing 146k files and running like molasses in January, so thanks for that.

Thank you for trying that out @Skimble!

 

The app would need to just do a re-index of the files within your account to cross-check for any updates, apologies for not mentioning that.

 

At this point, it would be best to continue looking into this through our Support channel so we can check out some device specific info alongside the info you've already kindly provided.

 

Please reach out to our Support team from here. A ticket number will be created once you do so (eg. #1234567), which you can let me know here and I'll be able to pass along all the info you've already given here.

 

Let me know if you have any questions about this!

I was contacting Support for a while and this is exactly what happened to me. But they don't even know...keeps asking me to try this, try that and didn't make any difference. I accepted the workaround suggested here by using compatbiltiy mode. The blury look does bug me though. Can't believe they haven't supported 4k monitor after amlost 2 years. 

Need more support?
