Why does dropbox hijack my screenshots?
How to stop dropbox from taking my screenshots. The solutions privided do not work. There is no way to get the app to load on a mac. Opening the dropbox icon, which is supposed to open the app just opens the folder. The App never opens so the preferences section is never available to fix this screenshot hijacking issue. This is a known issue why is it not fixed?
Turn Auto Play off for audio Files
Please add a way to stop audio files from playing instantly, as soon as you open them. On the Dropbox app, using an iPhone, the minute you open the file it starts playing. If you have previously played that audio file and paused it half way through, you can't stop it from playing in time to take it back to the start. We use Dropbox for our choir and keep our backing tracks and sheet music together. During a performance we need to make sure all the files have been returned to the start and we can't have them ready to go to press play.

Issue with connecting an additional machine to my account
Somethings not right. I have a free plan which allows me to sync on 3 computers however when I attempt to add a second machine I get a message I have to sign out of one of them. See attched. At this juncture I am only connected to 1 computer and want to add a second. Why would I at this point have to sign out of one of them. I don't understand. In effect it's telling me I can only be signed into 2 machines, NOT 3. I never used to have this issue before, what changed. Bruce

How to use more than one Dropbox account on a single computer?
Quick question — is it possible to run two Dropbox accounts on the same computer without constantly signing out or making separate user accounts? I’m not super technical, just want personal + work available without cluttering my disk — what do people actually do?
