Hello, I’m having an issue with Dropbox. I’ve renamed several folders on my local machine to make them easier to manage, but the folder names in the Dropbox cloud still reflect the old names. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Dropbox desktop app, but the cloud folder names remain unchanged. Could you please help me force Dropbox to update the folder names in the cloud to match the renamed folders on my computer? Thank you!23Views0likes1CommentI have 2 Dropbox folders. Can I delete the hidden one?
In my Mac Mini there are 2 DropBox folders, the first, which I normally use, under username (267GB); the second, hidden, under username, library, cloudstorage (321GB). Why are there 2? Can I delete the hidden one? Thanks everyone.46Views0likes7CommentsEnable users to subscribe/unsubscribe to comments for a whole folder
I am a retoucher and share dozens of images in folders with my team. They then comment on the files. The photographer is the owner, so gets notified of comments automatically. I am a team admin and at present, to be notified of comments, I have to subscribe to each individual file (it is a large team and not everyone names me in their comments). I simply don't have time to do this for hundreds of images in multiple folders. My suggestion is that users should be able to subscribe (and therefore unsubscribe) to comments for a whole folder - or at least multiple files at once. It would be a huge time saver!40Views0likes2CommentsDefault drive options
For Windows users, when installing Dropbox the user has no option but to allow DropBox to sync data with the C drive. Many Windows based PCs are now shipped with a smaller C drive (for apps) and a larger D drive (for data). Many folks also use external drives for data. Please give users the option to choose which drive they wish to sync with. I recently had to reset my PC. When I re-installed DropBox, I wasted about 2 hours syncing, resetting the default drive and re-syncing.

Hi, folder "Quick view" would be more helpful to me if it could show more thumbnails in its panel. Right now the thumbnails are huge and can only show four. Would be great to have smaller thumbnails so I can see 4x that amount in the right panel. Thanks.38Views2likes2CommentsThe ignore folder command isn't working; the folder is not being ignored.

Recently was asked with organizing a company folder, unpacking folders and renaming folders to see everything on one easy scroll. Problem is, there are now so many folders that I can't easily review with coworkers to find errors or suggest notes for the folder names (to make sure thing are easily found by name). There should be a way to easily export the folder data to a spreadsheet or blank document to help in review processes. Sometimes things are better reviewed in the physical form (spread it out and see everything in one sweep). Screens can just be so limited space wise.31Views0likes1CommentNeed to know how many subfolders and files are nested inside any given folder, server-side
Good day we are evaluating migrating two companies from Sharepoint to Dropbox. We need a way to know how many subfolders and files are contained, server-side, under any given top-level folder. This is an extremely simple information, and it is of fundamental importance in order to check complete sync after a large file upload, download or move. Of course such information must be available rapidly, without browsing each single subfolders (there are dozens thousands) and without limiting to check desktop-side (which is entirely useless, given that we want to survey the status of data moves SERVER-SIDE). So, for instance, suppose we have: - top-level folder "A" - inside "A": 3 files and the 2 subfolders "B" and "C" - inside "B": 7 files and 1 subfolder "D" - inside "C": 5 files and 1 subfolder "E" - inside "D": 12 files and no subfolder - inside "E": 8 files and 1 subfolder "F" - inside "F": no files and no subfolders.... ... I need a way to know that inside "A" there are: - 35 files - 5 subfolders In Sharepoint it is ridiculously complex to achieve such a basic information, but at least I can use PowerShell and some additional module. $FilesCount = (Get-PnPFolderItem -FolderSiteRelativeUrl "Top-Level-Folder-Name" -Recursive -ItemType File).Count $SubFoldersCount = (Get-PnPFolderItem -FolderSiteRelativeUrl "Top-Level-Folder-Name" -Recursive -ItemType Folder).Count Write-Host "Number of files: $FilesCount" && "Number of subfolders: $SubFoldersCount" HOW exactly can I have such information with Dropbox?
