I certainly understand Dropbox's reasons for not wanting to implement zero-knowledge encryption, but it would be nice to see them add it as an option for those of us who need security over convenience. If you want to use Dropbox but need to encrypt your files so that even they cannot decrypt them, I'd encourage you to take a look at a third-party tool such as Cryptomator (free, open-source) which encrypts your data before it leaves your computer. I read an article about how to do this at: https://www.alaskacomputerguy.com/category/howto/how-to-encrypt-dropbox-folder ... View more

Hi, https://help.dropbox.com/syncing-uploads/icon-overlays-not-appearing#files Open the 'Windows' drop down. There you will find this text (if the link should change in the future): >>Windows has a limit of 15 overlay icons that Windows Explorer can load, and the operating system reserves four for its own use. To find out how many overlays you have registered, you can check the registry: Press the Windows key + R and enter regedit. Navigate to the following registry key with this path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers Scroll right for complete command line. If the Dropbox overlays are in the first 15 positions, they will display; otherwise you'll need to make room for them. Please note that this requires you to delete or deprioritize other applications' overlays, so only proceed if you’re sure about what you'll affect. If you decide to proceed, you can select individual keys and delete them by right-clicking on the desired key. If you don’t want to delete them, you can rename them and place a Z at the beginning to send them to the end of the alphabetically sorted list. Quit explorer.exe and launch again from the Task Manager, or restart your computer. Launch Dropbox, and the sync icons should re-appear. ... View more

I started syncing the new dropbox account before I renamed the old dropbox account folder. I was able to stop it right away when I noticed the old dropbox accound folders disappeared on my side screen. I was able to find the old folders on the Local Disk "D" drive on my PC and I renamed it from "Dropbox" to "Old Dropbox" but I am afraid to continue syncing the new account and lose my old files. It still shows the Dropbox icon next to folder even though I renamed it. ... View more

Hi @Pete S.7, Your command "df -h" doesn't show FS type used. Better try just "mount" command - gives much clearer view. If the reason is incompatible FS, did You try https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Error-messages/Dropbox-client-warns-me-that-it-ll-stop-syncing-in-Nov-why/m-p/319764/highlight/true#M20116 ?

Hey Jeff (@Jeff G.14 ), let me follow-up in a bit more depth on this issue; thanks for the nudge!   For starters, can you confirm whether you’re facing this issue upon startup? Does the issue you’re experiencing match andyyy’s (meaning the OP's) description by any chance or is it different?   If you’re seeing that the application on your system tray is syncing a large number of files without your input Jeff, then your best course of action would be cross-checking your syncing icons /    (i.e. the files/ folders with the blue arrow should be the ones syncing to your account online), as maybe an accidental drag & drop is the culprit.    From there, if you suspect that the app has been stuck on one filename or it’s not syncing as it should, I’d suggest unlinking & relinking your account on your desktop & rebooting once, as it r ecreates the local database .    Following, please have a look at this resource to generate a list of any existing Symlinks in your Dropbox folder Jeff. Kindly bear in mind we’d recommend avoiding their usage, as we’ve noticed performance discrepancies.    Once you find the time to check back on how these pointers work for you, please let me know of the outcome on this discussion here & I’ll make sure to check back with you asap. Thanks & happy Friday! ... View more
