37 TopicsWhy does the Dropbox desktop app 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?30Views0likes5CommentsI changed my e-mail address and now the Dropbox desktop app doesn't sync anymore

Unsure why, but a folder I generated online and then sent some files to, won't appear on any of the computers selective sync window. Using Mac latest version, 3.8.3. I can't untick that folder. I've tried renaming it, etc but it doesn't help.Solved35KViews2likes57CommentsI can't link my Yahoo mail to Dropbox
I Can not link my Yahoo mail to dropbox . Yahoo have removed the upside down v (next to the Attachment icon) that gave the option to Share from Dropbox . Does Dropbox now not support Yahoo mail or am I doing something wrong. Thank you for any help.Solved28KViews2likes20CommentsCannot view all my folders locally from the File Explorer, but can see them online.
Device N/A Operating System/Browser (if using the web) N/A Dropbox App Version (if using the app) N/A Syncing Status N/A Question or Issue Recently moved to new Windows 11 laptop. Able to download DB for desktop and also access DB via Edge. However, when I used File Explorer to view/add content to my folders, I can only see 9 of them (and I show 24 folders online). Saw a support article about Selective Sync. I've never used it. But in troubleshooting I thought I should at least check to see if it may have been a default. Cannot find it! So 2 questions: 1) how do I find SS? 2) how do I make sure all 24 folders are viewable on File Explorer and DB desktop app?166Views0likes4CommentsCan I install the Dropbox desktop app on two separate Windows accounts?
Hello, I have all of my dropbox files synced from the cloud to my hard-drive. It's a 2nd drive I have rather than my main drive. I use my own Windows account account. My question is.... can my wife log in via HER Windows user account and also use the same dropbox account and the same files on our '2nd drive'? If she logs into dropbox with the same details as me but via HER Windows user account, can she just point dropbox to the 2nd drive as per me? ie. it wont try and start downloading everything again. Hope that made sense.Solved241Views0likes5CommentsHow can I back up an external hard drive on different computers?

I just tried to BackUp on computer 2 signed into the same account, but the Manage Backup page asks to Sign on to the device?
