I see PC and PC (2) in Selective Sync settings - could they be duplicates?
Hello! I am trying to clean up my folders before adding a new laptop to my account. My current computer, which is based on a 2023 repair, shows PC and PC (2) as folders for synching. I would like to know if both PC and PC (2) can be combined or if there is a way to merge these. (I don't know which is PC and which is PC (2), but I think PC (2) is the more active one. I am scared to delete the first set of folders in case there is something on there that is not in PC (2), but it's hard to tell. Thank you!
Error message "Move desktop folder back to its default location, then try again"
I can't sync my laptop in Windows 11 because it says my documents and desktop folder are not in their original location. It won't let me start all over again or reset to original settings. When I try to sync my "video" folder though it works just fine. Dropbox seems to just not like my desktop and documents fodlers. Help ?
Can Dropbox back up Logic Pro Project Files?
I use Logic Pro to record my music projects on a Mac. I have an external drive connected to my Mac that I use as a primary backup for my music projects. I also have this external drive automatically backing up to Dropbox. I assumed it was backing up everything. I just noticed it is backing up everything in my folders other than the Logic Pro Project file. When I look at the backup on Dropbox, instead of seeing the ~600mb Logic Project file, I see three folders it created instead, with a some of the audio files from my project but not the entire file. In other words, what is backed up is totally different than what is on my external drive (which matches the original version on my hard drive). Has anyone seen this? The main reason I starting using Dropbox for backup's is because Apple iCloud could not handle the Logic Pro Project files. I just assumed this was an Apple thing, but maybe its something else? Thanks for your help.Adding photos from my iPhone. Backup vs uploading
I am trying to add all my photos from my iPhone 16 to Dropbox in order to delete them off of my phone. if I only use the backup feature can I do the above? Or do I have to upload each photo where I have to click each photo and it only allows 400 at a time? can you explain the difference like I’m 2 please. Because in my mind the way i understand is you’re suppose to use the backup feature for new photos so it saves going forward but if I put for all photos (since I’m new here) it should save them all. And the upload is like a second option
If I reinstall Dropbox will the files that are already indexed on my hard drive still be linked?
I want to stop a huge syncing process that was started by mistake. I have read that the only effective way to do this is to uninstall and reinstall the desktop app. There are a large number of files already indexed on my external hard drive. I am concerned that if I uninstall and reinstall then I may have to index all of these files again, which will take days if not weeks. I would like to know what happens with the files when I reinstall - will the app function as it did before, as if it was never uninstalled?
Mac backup 0% complete, 'Backup now' is grey, says will complete in 1 sec but no movement.
I noticed Dropbox Backup today, looks good for my needs as a long time solo user w/ a 2TB account. Selected documents and music folders in my Mac user account, all looked OK then....nothing, no movement. Stuck at 0% even though it says updating 2,367 files and 1 sec remaining. Nothing, nada. I've rebooted, removed the external drive I wanted to also backup, re-installed Dropbox, no other cloud service-connected files are present in anything I want to backup, tried automatic backups on and off....but nothing. The 'Backup now' is also greyed out whatever I do. I've looked at various Db help pages but nothing. Any ideas appreciated. Also why no Backup label? Mac 13.4.1 Ventura Latest Dropbox
Dropbox app not recognizing external SSD for backup on Mac computer
I am running MacBook pro m3 max with sequoia 15.3.1 and want to backup a Samsung T7 external SSD formatted APFS encrypted, has 1 file in it 50MB. Dropbox will not recognize the drive, I have tried reformatting, quitting dropbox and signing out of dropbox. Any help welcome as otherwise the backup feature is next to useless for me.
