I have a free dropbox account and Command+Shift+3 & Command+Shift+4 to make screen captures seems to be conflicting with the Dropbox app. Nothing happens when I press the keys. I have a iMAC (intel) w/apple keyboard and am using macOS Sequoia 15.7.3. All the apple system keyboard short cut preferences are on. Is there a setting that needs to be turned off in the Dropbox preferences or a work around? The only time I can get it to work is when I am logged out of Dropbox. I have no problems with Dropbox syncing or conflicting with any other keyboard shortcuts.Solved120Views0likes4CommentsHow can I remove the Dropbox contextual menu items on Mac?

I've tried to follow the instructions that were provided to Walter on 2/6/23 to disable automatic Dropbox start-up when I open my Mac. When I click on the Dropbox icon at the bottom of my screen, I get the file folders that I've set up, not a page that has my Profile initials. Where do I locate the Preferences?

When I click "Send Feedback" in the Dropbox menubar icon, in order to file a bug report, the app makes my web browser open: Group: Dropbox for macOS | The Dropbox Community which redirects immediately to: Group: Dropbox for macOS | The Dropbox Community which then gives me this error: Dropbox v189.3.8308 macOS 13.6.2 (Ventura, ARM)Solved1.6KViews0likes7CommentsDropbox Mac has hijacked my Screenshots
I have Dropbox on my Mac OS Sonoma. As soon as it was installed, my Screenshots disappeared from my Mac Desktop and appeared in Dropbox. How can I stop this? I do NOT want my screenshots in Dropbox. They need to be on my Mac desktop. Thanks for any help--as a last resort I will just get rid of Dropbox from my Mac if there is no remedy for this.

Hi, I know that a lot of people are annoyed by constant barrage of notification banners, but i face the reverse problem. I don't see dropbox notifications on my mac (its been so for a couple of years now, but i need this fixed now). I work on a lot of collaborative projects, so tese alerts are one way to nudge me to the folders that need my attention. Notifications banners on my mac for my mail, calendar work just fine. i have checked notification preferences on the dropbox badge in the menu bar, on website, i have allowed for notifications from Dropbox when i am in do not disturb mode etc. My work around has been to manually go to the dropbox icon on the menu bar and check for activity on shared folders. I am on MacSonoma v14.5,3.6KViews0likes11Comments
