I have two Dropbox folders with identical names and paths but with different files in them
Application Affected (Dropbox) Device (iMac M4) Operating System/Browser (if using the web) (macOS 15.7.3) Dropbox App Version (if using the app) (241.4.4796) Question or Issue I recently upgraded my iMac from an older intel to a new M4 chip. I thought I cloned all my settings, but now my dropbox no longer syncs my files among my other computers (M1 powerbook, old intel iMac) even though there are no sync problems identified by the dropbox app. The more urgent problem (although both are major and I think related) is that I now have two file folders with identical names (which I can only see when I open or save a file from word or other application), and they seem to have the same pathways but they do not have the same files in them. One of the folders has older files, while the other has all my recent saved files. If I go to the finder, I can only see one of them in my Finder window (the one with the older files). I can access and open my recent files by selecting open in the app, but if I am in the Finder, I only see the older files. One thing I think may be causing the problem is that when I set up my new computer I somehow opted to have all my files in the cloud, whereas on my older computer only selected files were on the web. Could having different options on how to store files be causing my problem? Any solutions to get me back to normal?
The desktop app is asking me to create a new Dropbox folder after signing out and back in
My Dropbox is connected to my Gmail ID. Due to some reason, I changed my password, because of which the Dropbox that was logged in on my computer system got disconnected. While trying to reconnect Dropbox on my computer, it is asking me to create a new folder on the system. However, my Dropbox already contains data of more than 100 GB and is linked to my computer’s hard drive. If they ask me to reinstall Dropbox, it will take a lot of time, which I want to avoid. Please advise how I can resolve this issue
Error when trying to create a top level folder from my local Dropbox folder
This is still going on? I cannot create a top level folder through Windows file explorer, even though I am the owner of the account? People have been bitching about this for at least a year. Logging in to the website just to create a folder is cumbersome and aggravating. It used to work through explorer, why did that change? You should change it back, it doesn't seem like it would be difficult and would result in fewer complaints and possible departures to other cloud options.Please look at your android app version, it's so much better
Simple stuff but these are crucial. PLEASE look at the Android app version and improve the iPhone app version. When you want to add a file, there are CRUCIAL things missing: the list of your favorite folder should be show on that page where you need to select import folder. These favorite folder are surely the most important, the most used folders, so make the accessible in a click when we want to import a file. Still while importing a new file. There should be a "back" button if you click on the last used folder. Sometimes the appropriate folder is the one just before and because there is no button to go back to the previous folder, you must start from the very first folder in the main string... We are in 2026, things like that shouldn't happen. If you import a file that as the same name, you can only "replace" or "cancel" the import 😂 Where is the option to keep both? Like creating "name file (1).pdf" is too difficult? Now you need to abort the import, go back to Dropbox, change the file name that is already in Dropbox, and add the new file "again". When changing the file name, the current file name (minus the file extension) should already be selected and the keyboard should open up at the same time. We want to change the file name, make it easy to do it by saving us 3 clicks for nothing. 2026 is here 👍🏼 All these elements are already existing in the android version. There are no need to waist our time by keeping this Mac mentality that is from the Stone age. Technology is supposed to help us save time, not trying to remember Steve Jobs and his stubborn mindset. Let's go Dropbox iOS, it's time to catch up with Android 🚀How can I organize the files inside my folders?
Device HP Desktop Operating System/Browser (if using the web) (Windows 11, MS Edge Browser Question or Issue I create a unique Folder for each of my consulting clients. Is there a way to organize the content of a folder using headers or category separations, e.g., "New Submissions" or "In Progress"?Classic ASP read folder for https file links.
Hi, I am trying to use classic ASP to read the contents of a folder and create a list of hyperlinks to each file in the folder. I have created a script using an api token and it seems to execute but never produces a list. Has anyone got a bullet proof script which will do this?
Implement a "No all" option to skip when uploading duplicate files
App, Android Wenn beim runterladen was schief geht und nicht alle Dateien mitkommen, ok kann passieren. Aber: wenn ich dann nochmal den Download anstoße und dann ja einige Dateien schon vorhanden sind, gibt es bei der Frage "ersetzen?" nur "überspringen"(=nein) "ja" "ja, alle"! Wo ist das "nein, alle"?! So muss ich teilweise seeehr oft auf überspringen klicken, bis endlich alle Fotos vollständig runtergeladen sind... Das kann's doch nich sein?! Nervt mich jetzt schon seit nem halben Jahr ungefähr und hoffe endlich mal auf Hilfe... English : If everything goes smoothly during the download and not all files are included, that can happen. But: when I initiate the download again and some files are already there, the "replace?" question only responds with "skip" (=no) "yes" "yes, all"! Where's the "no, all"?! So sometimes I have to click skip several times until all the photos are finally completely downloaded... That can't be right?! It's been bugging me for half a year now, and I'm finally hoping for some help... Update and repost, after this was closed: Oh no! I thought, that it would be in your to do list now... I would still like to have such an option and I am really waiting for it. Can't believe, that I am the only one missing this option 🥲
