Moving files on my desktop to the trash deletes them immediately instead.
I am running Dropbox Backup. On MacOS, when I drag a file on my desktop to the trash, it is deleted automatically. In other words, it does not appear in the trash in case I want to recover it later. I get a warning that says"This item will be deleted immediately.You can't undo this action." When the same file is in any other folder or location on my computer besides the Desktop, and I drag it to the trash, the behavior is normal - the files goes into the trash where I can see it and recover it if need be. I am running Dropbox Backup on Sequoia 15.2 on a 2020 M1 Macbook Air. Any thoughts?
Automated Dropbox Backup to LaCie d2 Professional
Hey everyone, In our office, we use Dropbox to save all our files, keeping everything up to date since we work on a project basis. Recently, we decided to enhance file security, so we purchased a LaCie d2 Professional 14TB storage device. Can anyone guide us on how to set up an automated backup from Dropbox to the LaCie d2 Professional maybe like a weekly or certain period of time, Appreciate it !! Thanks
Backup
Sir/Madam I am a very worried Dropbox user after 20 years. I have two computers in case one goes faulty. I downloaded one document unto computer number 1In a different location I switched to computer number 2 but was unable to work on the same document I realised that comp1 had not saved the document on DB and was offered the chance to backup the contents of comp1 which I did. I then backed up comp2 hoping to have them in a common location where I can access the document I was looking for. Sadly, the documents have been moved to an unknown location and cannot be accessed on either computer. Would you please please restore my documents to their original location where I can reach the same document from either computer as it amounts to many years of work. Many thanks.
Dropbox Backup won't recognize external drive on MacOS Sequoia 15.2
Hello, I cannot get my external drive to show up in the "Add a backup" section of the Dropbox Backup. I've read a bunch of posts about this issue and it seems like there is no solution. Some have said erasing and reformatting their drive worked (an absurd "solution"), but that hasn't for me. I've also done all the other suggestions that Dropbox support and others have put forth to no avail. Is there really no fix for this? Apparently people have been having this problem for years now. Thanks for any info or help.
My files disappeared from my backup on the computer
I'm totally baffled! I appear to be paying for a service I'm not receiving. I joined Dropbox over a year ago, but realised only recently that nothing was being backed-up. My son, who is far more tech savvy than I am, thought he'd got it sorted. I could find my files in Backup - but they'd disappeared from my computer. Why? It's a Back-up, not a wipe clean! So over the holiday we tried again, as none of the recent files were backed-up. This time the files and folders which I'd had to recreate were Backed-up and remained on my computer BUT all the previously backed-up files and folders had disappeared from the Back-up - and this included 10 years work in my Family History Files. Where are they? They weren't even in the deleted folder! I'm now in a worse mess than if I'd never joined. What is going on? The program is far from intuitive, and is causing me a lot of aggravation.
Backups do not display on website.
I cannot display my backups on the website. The URL that is not working: https://www.dropbox.com/backup/all?_tk=web_left_nav_bar See screenshot below. That is what I see at the above URL. Here's what I have tried: Three browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge. This fails on all three. Signed out and signed back in. Cleared cache and cookies for all *.dropbox.com Tried at different times of the day (this has not been working for about 12 hours) Note: Choosing "View backed up files" from the desktop app works fine to display the files from a backup. I just cannot list the backups and display the files on the website.
Can I access my external drive backup from my laptop?
I've been using Dropbox to sync my desktop and laptop computers for years, but recently my storage needs have outgrown my 1 TB desktop. I purchased a couple external hard drives and shifted some folders onto them, and while Dropbox says I can backup my internal and external hard drives I have not been able to access the externals on Dropbox from my laptop. I hope that's clear. My question is - when I include my external hard drives in my Dropbox backup is it possible to access those backups remotely on my laptop?
How can I sync my Mac desktop automatically to Dropbox?
in the past i was able to sync my Macbook desktop to dropbox automatically so anything i creat on my mac desktop will sync to a file in dropbox without me actively draging the file to dropbox (same was for my Mac native download file). This features apeears to be still working in windows but my mac intel on Sequoia 15.2 does not seem to support it. This feature was a game changer as it was like having iCloud but for people who use multiple operating systems.
