Dropbox Apple Silicon (M1) install
Hi, I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13" with the M1 processor and I cannot seem to get a native install of Dropbox for this chipset. From searching the community, it seems like M1 support should be available in the latest installer. However, trying that plus the latest beta build all ask me to install Rosetta during installation. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, WarrenSolved104KViews64likes184Comments
„Automatisches Computer-Backup“ deaktivieren
Hallo Community, ich habe heute Dropbox am PC installiert und dabei irrtümlich die Funktion Backup ausgewählt. Nun ist der Speicher der Drop-Box voll und ich möchte 1.) die Daten meines PCs wieder von Dropbox löschen 2.) backup meines PCs endgültig beenden und 3.) das wichtigste: meine Daten wieder auf meinen PC haben ohne Datenverluste. Meine Befürchtung: wie ich die Info der Dropbox verstanden habe kann ich das Backup stoppen, aber die Datenlöschung bei Dropbox führt auch zur Datenlöschung auf meinen PC?!? Danke für Eure Infos wie ich das wieder lösen kannSolved75KViews1like224Comments
Actual Desktop app won't open
I need to get the actual app to open so I can change the settings (because even though I select "never for this device" for downloading photos, I get the stupid Download Photos window Every Friggin TIME I connect my phone to my computer). The problem is that when I 'open' the Dropbox app on my computer all it does is take me to the Dropbox files on my computer. The app itself never opens. I just installed the latest update and it still doesn't open the actual app.Solved35KViews4likes22Comments
Trouble installing on Kindle Fire
I followed the install directions (Allow Installation of Applications from unknown sources is ON), but when I press "Download for Android" it loads for about 2 seconds then stops and it seems like nothing happened. The app is not installed; there is nothing in my download file. Can someone help me? Thanks.Solved32KViews0likes11Comments
Dropbox for MacOS is now ready
I've got Dropbox installed on an M1 MacBook. After upgrading to Ventura 13.0 it brings up a notification. If I click on "Get started" and go through all the steps in the process it appears to work, but the notification never goes away, and doesn't have any method to manually remove it. I've tried restarting the Dropbox app, and restarting the whole computer. Neither make the notification go away.28KViews6likes258Comments
Too high disk activity
While I'm using my computer normally without touching anything Dropbox related, the Dropbox process (I have a system monitor installed that shows disk usage and which process is using it the most among other things) randomly and strangely frequently uses large amounts of my HDD's processing capacity to a point where it causes stuttering in video playback, video games, and other applications that have higher priority for my computer use. This was also verified by simply shutting down Dropbox, since the problem goes away with that. Since I'm the only user of this account as well, I'm the only one causing changes to it, so there's no new files being received or files being modified which are pushed to me to cause any of this either. Also, I don't have an anti-virus installed that performs real-time scanning on reads/writes to interfere with this. I presume this is Dropbox scanning the folders for changes, but I don't think it should cause this much disk activity or at least not such huge spikes for it. And I'm fairly sure the OS has file system notification API (change notifications, like Linux has inotify) that would remove the need to scan the file system for changes in such old fashioned and resource intense manner.26KViews16likes34Comments
Dropbox nicht mehr in Taskleiste und keine Synchronisation
Guten Abend - Genau Untenstehendes funktioniert nicht mehr. Ich finde das Dropbox-Symbol nicht mehr in der taskleiste und kann Dateien im Dropbox-Ordner auf dem Computer bearbeiten, diese werden aber nicht mehr online synchronisiert. Was kann ich tun? Wie synchronisiere ich Dateien zwischen mehreren Computern? Die Synchronisation Ihrer Dateien zwischen all Ihren Computern, Smartphones und Tablets ist das, warum es bei Dropbox geht. Sie brauchen nur die Dropbox-Desktopanwendung zu installieren, und sich auf dem jeweiligen Gerät mit demselben Benutzernamen anzumelden. Wenn Sie Dropbox bereits installiert haben, brauchen Sie nur Dateien zu Ihrem Dropbox-Ordner hinzufügen und die Dateien werden automatisch mit Ihrer Dropbox synchronisiert, was bedeutet, dass Sie sie von einem anderen Computer, Smartphone oder Tablet öffnen können, auf dem Dropbox ebenfalls installiert ist.24KViews3likes19Comments
Can't open the Dropbox desktop application on Mac OS 13.4
Upgrade my Macbook Pro from 2018 to a new 2023 Macbook Pro M2. Installed the latest version of DB,, and the app crashes after a few minutes. However, I installed an older Intel version and it r,uns without crashing. I am a paying customer of DB. Tried running the adv reinstall (https://help.dropbox.com/installs/advanced-reinstall), and it installed the Intel version. Which is seems stable. Ideally, I would like to run DB natively. Open to suggestions and ideas. OS: Apple Ventura 13.4 M2 ProcSolved23KViews0likes76Comments
