I loaded Dropbox on a new Mac. Instead of the current Dropbox account, it keeps loading an old one under a different email address. I have followed these recommended steps, but in #4, Dropbox does not offer the option to sign in again that I can find. I have uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times. I have a paid account. Suggestions? "1. Sign out of the app. 2. Open Dropbox.com in your web browser and sign out there as well. 3. Sign in to Dropbox.com using the correct email address. 4. Then try signing back in to the Dropbox app on the computer.16Views0likes1CommentI get an error when selecting the sync location of my Dropbox folder on Windows.
I go to my personal account in the browser. I downloaded a new dropbox, installed it on my computer. I start logging into the application, go to the point where I need to select a folder to save. I select a folder and it gives me an error. C:erorr/dropbox errorqr24scro.txt46Views0likes7CommentsI can't link my macOS desktop app to the existing Dropbox folder after unlinking
On Mac, Dropbox stopped syncing about two to three weeks ago. In my Dropbox Security settings I see two Devices with identical names, e.g., iMac.lan. (Formerly, I had the three devices allowed by the DropBox Basic plan: iMac, Macbook, and iPhone. Dropbox now complains that I'm trying to use a fourth device: the two identical links to my iMac, my Macbook Pro, and my iPhone. I unlinked my iPhone so that I could try to deal with the iMac.) I unlinked both copies of the link to my iMac, then killed and restarted Dropbox. Trying to start Dropbox, I now see this message: "There's already a folder or file named Dropbox." I cannot use the existing file Dropbox in the default directory, which I believe is {me}/Library/CloudStorage. If I rename the existing Dropbox file and go through the kill/restart process again, I get a different error message: "Error with selected folder -- Can't create a Dropbox folder in the requested location". So I'm stuck. I cannot use Dropbox on either my iMac (MacOS 14.5) or my Macbook Pro. Help, please. So I cannot use Dropbox, and I cannot unlink/relink my DropBox file. I'm stuck. And, BTW, there's a possibly related symptom. DropBox also has stopped syncing with my MacBook Pro.2.8KViews0likes22CommentsDropbox 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.Solved1.9KViews0likes13CommentsThe Dropbox desktop app is stuck on starting on Mac OS
I can't get past the "starting..." stage on the DB app. I've uninstalled, cleared everything related to DB from my computer, downloaded fresh, installed again. Everything I can think of. Always, the menu bar icon stays gray and the pulldown shows "Starting..." I've let it sit for days, no luck. I can get to my account via dropbox.com as usual. It's the app that's not working. I've unlinked the account and relinked it. I must be missing something. FWIW, this happens on both my Macbook Pros, a new M3 and an M1. And I've read old messages about this problem... so, a new query. Ideas please?1.2KViews0likes26CommentsDropbox not syncing even after reinstalling
So here's a doozy. I've recently reinstalled my windows. My Dropbox folder was on a secondary drive, so didn't get formatted. I have reinstalled Dropbox, and pointed it to the old dropbox folder. It spent a few days indexing, and decided then that it needed to upload and download a bunch of files. This is all fine, but it's not actually _doing_ that. It just knows that the files have to be done, adding new files will up the counter, but it's not doing anything. I can sometimes click on the icon in the bottom right corner and it'll suddenly go to 75 kbps, jumping down to 20 and then back to nothing (just no speed indicator at all) I've reset ownership, i've reinstalled the application. I'm at a loss. I've been googling for a few days now, trying loads of suggestions from this forum but i cannot figure it out. Who can help me? Dropbox was working fine before i reinstalled.Solved768Views0likes6CommentsCertFindCertificateInStore 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.44KViews10likes99CommentsTravelling overseas to China, the macOs APP "Reconnecting to the internet. This may take a moment"
