Fake activity?
Yesterday I uploaded a movie file to Dropbox for some friends to download. Immediately after, I decided to check from a browser that wasn't logged in, to see what it would look like for them if they didn't have a Dropbox account. I was shocked to discover, under âActivityâ: âPatricia Johnson downloaded this fileâ and âAnthony Abate viewed this fileâ (neither name recognised by me): So, then I logged in to investigate, but only saw âTraffic and insights: See whoâs visiting... Upgrade to Dropbox Professional to start tracking.â: Surely this isnât a scare tactic to get me to upgrade to a paid account, is it??
Dropbox Mac Beta: Green Circles are gone - everything has the cloud symbol
I am assuming work is being done in the background, but as of a few days ago, I no longer have green circles for downloaded (available offline) files. Everything has a cloud symbol (that symbol doesn't even exist in the online documentation) but seems to be available offline. I am also getting lots of sync errors - but my files appear to be still on my computer (where I need them). And yesterday the DROPBOX icon disappeared from my sidebar (Locations). Only to show up again hours later. Strange. What is going on? These sync irregularities seem to be quite substantial. Syncing files is what Dropbox is all about. I am a little surprised this beta version was even released to the public. When I joined the beta, the email I got from dropbox made it sound like the final release was imminent.

How to remove an transfer option from context menu windows 11
Hi, it has been bothering me for a while that there is a Dropbox option in every menu. I have never used it, I do transfer files to dropbox via a folder - I organize the files right away. I removed the transfer option from the old menu (the same way as for win 10, described somewhere on the forum, I have a .reg file to make it easier), but as you know, win 11 also has a second, new context menu. I can not remove it, and I have not found any help on the forum or in google. Is there any key option in the registry to disable this menu? Or at least team can add an option in the dropbox settings to enable/disable integrate with the menu, so as not to mess with the registry editor? Not everyone needs a ton of options on the menu.
