You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
CertFindCertificateInStore failed with: (-2146885628) Cannot find object or property.
As multiple other users have already reported over the last couple years, I am seeing many of these error events in my Windows 10 Event Viewer, all coming from the DbxSvc(Dropbox service) event source. Can you all please fix your desktop client software to stop spamming my event logs with these errors? This issue has dragged on far, far too long already. Either stop emitting these errors, or fix the underlying problem. Thank you.
Problem transfering dropbox to external SSD drive in Macbook Air
I wanted to move my dropbox folder from my Macbook Air hard drive to an external SSD drive. I signed out of the app, signed back in However, the new dropbox location was created, however it is not linked therefore I do not get all of the links, and sync with dropbox. and it seems that the old link is still there. And I am unable to find out where the directory is. What I want is for dropbox to be linked to the external SSD drive Here are the screen shots: On the following image A - is the new dropbox directory on the external drive that was created. files and folders here do not have the Dropbox Links (like link address, etc) B - is the old location. it says that it is unlinked to dropbox However as you will see in the last image, this directory DOES have the dropbox links. In the new location (A) there are no dropbox links This is B, the old content in the location I want to replace. It seems that the dropbox link is still linked here, and as you can see the Dropbox Links for syncing are here.
Ubuntu 24.04 is stuck on "Starting..." after installing the app.
Installed from the Dropbox site on Aug 14, 2024. The tray icon comes up but only reacts to a click after Lock-Unlock of the screen (weird, but not critical). However the status stuck on "Starting...", and no syncronisation is happening. Itg appears to be new behavior, and I cannot think of what changed
Dropbox folder bounces in the dock on Mac when syncing.
NOTE: a thread already exists for this issue but was closed without a solution. I'm writing this here to reopen it. The Dropbox folder in my dock (Mac OS Sequoia) bounces every time a file is updated by dropbox Sync. When syncing hundreds of files, it will bounce constantly. When opening a cloud document (online-only document that is opened via the desktop file explorer and temporarily loaded onto the computer), it also bounces. This means that if I even use quick-look to preview a batch of images, my dropbox folder icon will bounce incessantly as it loads higher-resolution preview thumbnails. People have tried disabling this in terminal and it hasn't worked. I haven't personally tried the terminal method due to these reports, but I would prefer to manage this in the notifications preferences of Dropbox instead. Even with everything turned off on my notification preferences, it still bounces.
Mac Finder extension incompatible with Google Drive Finder helper Finder extension
I have the same issue that many other people have reported. On my MacBook Pro running MacOS 14.1.2, I have both Dropbox v189.4..8395 Personal Plus (I have never had a beta version) and Google Drive File Stream v85.0.26.0. My Dropbox sync/cloud icons are missing from my Dropbox folder. If I uncheckthe Google Drive Finder helper's Finder extension, then the Dropbox sync icons immediately re-appear. However, this reduces the functionality of my Google Drive installation. I need *both* of these cloud sync systems to work. Is there a fix for this problem yet? -Marc Levoy, Stanford University and Adobe Inc.
