App on phone has files, but app on laptop has only recent files
Application Affected (Dropbox app phone and laptop.) Device (iphone 16e, ASUS Sonic master and ACER TravelMate.) Operating System/Browser (if using the web) (Windows 11, ) Dropbox App Version (if using the app) (454.2.2 - I have Dropbox Plus on my phone and it was synced to my ASUS laptop but it shows as basic now on that device. I have Plus on my phone and always have. I downloaded Dropbox to my ACER ( work issue laptop) and logged in and it is BASIC and has only files from when it opened. The email on my phone is an old one but on the browser it shows the new one. I need the devices to sync to the one account. Any help would be appreciated.
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
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
