Hidden Dropbox logs folder is stuck, continually growing bigger, now beyond 300GB
Application Affected (Dropbox app & backup) Device (Optiplex 3060 i5-8500, 16GB RAM, 500GB SSD) Operating System/Browser (if using the web) (Windows 10) Dropbox App Version (if using the app) (236.4.5918) Question or Issue For the past few days, a folder called "log" within the dropbox system folders, specifically "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Dropbox\logs" is constantly growing and growing.. occupying my entire hard disk! please help.. Not sure if they're at all related, but the following points have recently changed in this computer: 1. I bought a new SSD for backup purposes, which I have set to backup by Dropbox It's 2TB, 900GB of which are occupied, it's connected over USB and it doesn't seem to actually backup.. 2. I removed Avast and installed Bitdefender instead. I was running Malwarebytes and Spybot in parallel, though these have now been removed. I have noticed that the Tray Assistant almost maxes out my CPU use, as well.. Any ideas of how to troubleshoot/resolve this? Many thanks!
Dropbox backup does not recognize my 2nd and 3rd internal hard drives.
I am trying to backup some folders from my two data hard drives installed internally on my Windows 11 computer. Dropbox isn't allowing me to choose additional hard drives within my computer, only the HDD which is used for installed programs only, no data such as documents, pictures, music, videos, project data, etc. (that choice box is grayed out) This makes backing up the folders that regularly need to be backed up impossible and makes the backup feature useless for me. Any tips on solving this mystery?
Ability to grant Dropbox desktop app access to Mac Library system folders
I have files in a folder Library>Audio>Presets that are constantly updated but there is no way to add this folder to the desktop app. The workaround is to copy the folder to another folder to have it uploaded. Duplicating data on the host machine is not ideal. Can we have an option where we can perhaps type the folder location?
MACOS 26 Bug..FINER error
After the update, a strange problem occurs. I'm sure I created a folder inside the drop box folder. I can see that it's synced when I look at the sync status. But when you open the drop box folder, you don't see it. Before the problem, the files all open and look good. I can't see the folders I made after the update. So if you want to see that folder Click the drop box icon at the top of your MacBook to move on to the list that appears. 1. When I go into the finder, I don't see all the drop box sync folders 2. If you click the drop box icon at the top of the MacBook rather than the finder and click the location of the file, you will see the sync folder.
