The dark mode for Dropbox resets on my macOS desktop app whenever I restart my device.
Hello Dropbox people. I see the setting is now in the Mac App but it doesn't work until you open the settings. So this means if you reboot your computer, or quit and restart DropBox, it goes back to using the light theme even if you picked dark. It's kind of annoying to have to go into settings each time to fix this.
Impossible to get rid of the Dropbox desktop app from the startup.
It is impossible to prevent Dropbox from starting up uninvited. Preferences don't do what they should, editing registry , disabling in start-up...etc A very intrusive and annoying behaviour - if it is not fixed within a short period of time I will uninstall and stop using Dropbox. There are other solutions (Googledrive, Onedrive...etc) that are better behaving. rgs
Accessing 2 separate accounts from 1 computer
I have 2 Dropbox accounts (separate emails/logins). One is my original personal account and the other I specifically use only in connection with my business (clients send files to this second account). Recently (this year), the Dropbox app disappeared off my computer and access to the files on my original account from my computer (offline) got messed up. That issue was resolved. When I log in to one account, the content on THAT account should exist there and only there. And the other account should be accessible when logged into that account. And I should be able to switch accounts whenever I need to and not lose access to the offline files that have ALWAYS lived ON my computer with no issue (until the problems that began happening in 2025). However, the content on my second account (accessed online/web browser only) appears to have been replaced with the content from my original account. And the desktop app looks like my OFFLINE files are unlinking or getting messed up when switching account online (web browers)—no change made to the login on the desktop app. The logical account access (with separate logins) is not happening. What is the Dropbox solution for accessing the content that is supposed to be on the completely separate second account that has its own unique login?Can I use the command line to update the Dropbox app to File Provider on a virtual machine?
I have the 2 TB Family account. I have DropBox installed on several virtual machines that are running Ventura latest. As installed the installation has not relocated the DropBox folder to the .../Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox location. Is there any thing I can do from the command line to force the transistion? The menu bar contains the DropBox icon, but a version of VNC is being used to drive the VM and the window that opens when the icon is clicked is just flakey. Impossible to navigate to the preferences tell it to move to FileProvider. Thanks for any help.
