The ignore folder command isn't working; the folder is not being ignored.
I'm trying to ignore a node_modules folder using the command posted here: https://help.dropbox.com/sync/ignored-files My command as typed in Windows power shell is below: Set-Content -Path 'C:\Users\mroch\Dropbox\sd\node_modules' -Stream com.dropbox.ignored -Value 1 I do not see a gray 'minus' sign next to my node_modules folder in Windows Explorer and the files inside continue to by synced.
How can I make a shortcut to a Dropbox folder via the widgets on my Android phone?
Hey guys, I'm struggling to find a solution to establish a quick access link to a Dropbox folder on my Android Phone. When I Google it, it says I can do that via the Dropbox Widget, and that's not available on my widget list. Anyone else experiencing this, or have a work around that could help me with a quick access to a Dropbox folder? I'm running a Android phone Oppo Find X8 Pro - Hardware: CPH2659_11 Version No. CPH2659_15.0.0.831(EX01) Cheers, StephenCan I change the filepath and name of the Dropbox folder on Mac?
Hi, I use Dropbox to store a lot of data files that I need to access when I'm programming. I have two dropbox accounts, one personal and one from my university. Both of the default paths that Dropbox is stored at have spaces and parentheses in the name: for example, my personal one is stored at "~/Dropbox (Personal)/". The name of this folder including a space and multiple parentheses is very frustrating when trying to access files in this folder because it is often hard to parse a filename like this. It would make accessing the folder much easier if it were called "~/Dropbox_Personal" or "~/Dropbox-Personal", basically anything other than what it is now. When I try to change the folder name, it unfortunately unlinks itself from the cloud. Is there an easy way to change the name of the folder?
Dropbox related icons on my local files, and cluttered web interface feedback.
Dropbox has become a bloated PoS. The product is terrible. Often files do not sync. Often it syncs files I do not want to be synced. Users have very little control over how the dropbox apps appear and work on their own devices. One major annoyance of mine is that the company INSISTS that the dropbox icon be pinned to the top of my file system's namespace. I do not want that **bleep** icon to appear first in my directory structure. But, you cannot delete it. I SO hate that. It is my computer, I am paying for a "service." I should have control over that. You can get rid of it temporarily, if you hack the registry but that can take hours and then it comes back at dropbox's discretion. Now the web interface is cluttered with information I do not want. The worst is the "Suggested for you" banner at the top of the screen. It takes up way too much space. And I do not want dropbox's suggestions on anything. I want to make it go away forever. Not just hide it for the session. But you cannot do that. All I want is a simple directory / file tree on line which I can manage exactly the way I do the files on my computer. So I can make new directories and write files there which later I can read. I would drop dropbox in a heartbeat, if there were such a cloud service available AND if I could transfer my files from dropbox directly to the new service. It takes a long time to download then re-upload more than a terabyte of data. I welcome any suggestions for such a product. The company, dropbox, is so very annoying with their presumptions of their importance that at some point soon I will reach the limit of my tolerance. Then I'll transfer the files even if it takes a couple of months to do it.
I have two Dropbox folders but only one syncs, and it looks empty.
Dropbox issue: I have talked with many computer consultants about the following and no one is able to resolve this. I’d appreciate any help. Also Camera Upload no longer works. 1. I have only one Dropbox account 2. I have a Dropbox folder on my PC with many files/folders that used to sync to Dropbox on the web and do no longer 3. Several months ago, a new Dropbox folder appeared out of nowhere on my PC with no contents - this empty folder alone syncs to Dropbox on the web 4. I cannot move any files/folder from my original Dropbox folder to the new one (various error messages are generated) 5. I cannot merge the new Dropbox folder nor delete it - it is connected somehow to the original Dropbox folder 6. All content from my original Dropbox folder appears on the web when accessed from the Dropbox app on my phone
The icon of the Dropbox folder appears to be a blank page in File Explorer.
A little nuisance, but I guide myself with the icon when I am working and switching between windows. Everything else works fine. About a week ago, I don't know if there was an update, but the Dropbox folder's icon changed to what looks like a blank page. I tried to change it through properties like you usually change the icon of a folder, but the option doesn't appear. Any ideas on how to fix this? Uninstall and reinstall?
