I can't move, copy or delete content from within the Dropbox folder on my Windows 11.
Device My awesome PC Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Win11 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 238.4.6075 Question or Issue We have old/historical jpeg/photos on drop box. I am having trouble moving, copying, pasting individual photos. When I try to move, copy, delete it seems to get stuck on the attached system process -> Windows says calculating, but doesn't seem to progress further. I also cannot see a preview of these files in the thumbnail/folder, they are just blank, though newer files in the same folder do have the preview image. I am trying to move bulk files though I cannot even move individual files ATM. Its only old files that we've not opened/viewed for years. Any ideas?
Editing PDFs on Dropbox on Android corrupts the PDF
Device TCL NxtPaper 14 Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Android 14 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 454.2.2 Syncing Status Up To Date Question or Issue I am using Dropbox on my TCL NxtPaper 14, along with the app Nutrient PDF Viewer Pro to edit and annotate PDFs on Dropbox. Whenever I use the app, it corrupts the PDF on Dropbox. Editing PDFs on other cloud services with the same app does not give me any issues.
Can I recover my content after 30 days?
I had Dropbox on my work computer , personal laptop and iPhone and when I changed jobs my old company deleted the Dropbox files and it erased them on all devices. I had some irreplaceable pictures and files and they won’t recover trying on other devices. I’ve reached out to Dropbox support multiple times and they have never responded. Now that it’s been over 30 days is there anyway to recover files and pictures ?
Can I restore many files at once?
OK, here goes, looking for a one-in-a-million shot. And thank you very much to anyone who may answer me. I recently deleted almost all my word files in dropbox, through cyber-stupidity. Then I received an email saying I have thirty days to restore them. I eventually figured out that I can bring up "deleted files" and hit restore. But I want to go through hundreds of files to pick out many to restore, and my dropbox will only let me bring up twenty-five files for possible restoration, and will not let me scroll further to find other files to restore. By any chance, does someone out there with a LOT more computer knowledge than I possess, know how I can bring up deleted files and get the list to scroll all the way through the hundreds I have deleted so I can pick out a lot of them to restore? Again, I would be immensely grateful to receive a response. Heck, I'm such a computer dunce, I don't know that I'll be able to find the response if someone does reply to me. But again, thank you all for taking the time to read this note. Dave P.S. I have a Mac Mini.How do I stop files being deleted due to inactivity?
Mark i was gonna ask about the comment u made 2 years ago saying that the content and files in dropbox gets deleted after 12 months of inactivity, how do i stop that? what constitutes inactivity? because i got a warning that my files may be deleted as it exceeded
Turned on a really old computer and all my files went back to older versions
Short Version: Is there a way to just bulk undo the most recent sync of my Dropbox folder? Long Version: I don't use file syncing with Dropbox these days, preferring to manually upload specific files and folders as-needed for collaboration. I don't even have the desktop apps installed anymore. This past week I was cleaning up some clutter and found an old Mac mini, unused for at least five years. I plugged it in and turned it on to make sure it was in a condition suitable for recycling and the very old version of Dropbox that was installed immediately started syncing all of my files from 5+ years ago. So now my Dropbox folder is a mess and my quota is blown. Is there any way to undo this aside from manually sorting through my Dropbox folder? Thanks.
Support insists they can't recover my files, but I worked on them a few months ago.
I have repeatedly contacted support regarding missing photos and files I’ve lots of photos including wedding photos missing . They say they were deleted a year ago and not retrievable this is not true as I looked and started to organise them in July this year. I’ve repeatedly asked for this to be escalated to a manager they just ignore my messages . This has been going on since September. I can’t find a phone number or anything to complain . I’ve never known anything so frustrating. I’m fuming where do I go from here . I want my files !! Anyone else had same issues ?
