Blue sync icons appear on my Windows 10 desktop
On occasion, blue sync icons will appear on files and shortcut links that are located on my Win 10 Desktop. None of the files are related or stored in Dropbox. What is causing this. The only way to remove them is to reboot my machine. Any idea what is causing these sync issue to appear.

Uploading albums from Apple Photos to Dropbox for back up.
I am trying to sort out cloud storage for my photos. They are on Apple Photos on a Mac running Sierra 10.12.6. I already have an external harddrive on which they are regularly backed up. What I want to do is copy all of my photos and videos and have them on a cloud. I want to export them in albums/ year groupings and I don't want the "library" to transfer to dropbox as I know that doesnt work and can lead to photo loss. I want to keep all of the original Photos library on my desktop. What Ive been doing is creating albums in Photos, selecting then dragging and dropping into folders I have created in Dropbox in my finder on my Mac. Does this just copy them or am I moving the original from the Photos library to the Dropbox? I don't like the way ICloud works so I'm trying to find a solution for that unlikely but possible total failure of local harddrive and local backup. I also want the possibility to delete things locally but still have a backup if I've messed up. Thanks for any insights Kate

Photoshop won't save for web unless Dropbox Desktop & Documents backup disabled
This issue affects Adobe Photoshop and the Dropbox backup features on Mac Big Sur. When the Desktop and Documents are selected as Personal backup folders, it seems to mess up the Adobe permissions, so that the Save for Web option in Photoshop doesn't work. Only when you deselect the Desktop and Documents backup options do the permissions reset. Not sure if this is a Dropbox problem or Adobe problem. I found the solution in the Adobe forums here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/p-save-for-web-error-a-write-permissions-error-has-occurred-photoshop-22-1-1/m-p/11747734 Would be good if we could fix this so I can continue to back up my Desktop and Documents folders.

FTP server setup in Dropbox. How to set-it up?
Hello All, I have a remote camera at my cabin in Tennessee, it is accessible through an app and is always on. The camera typically senses movement will snap 3 pictures and upload/email them to my gmail account. However gmail has changed access using 3rd party apps and I can no longer receive the pictures. I was told I can setup dropbox as an FTP server and my camera will upload to my dropbox, all videos and pictures. Is this possible? and if so, would anyone have a step by step to set this up? Thx for the help

The Requested Operation Couldn’t Be Completed error - Dragging & Dropping into Files app on iPad
Dragging and dropping error using the stock files app on iPad OS (13 latest) with the latest version of Dropbox installed. Each time I try to drag and drop a file using the files app I'm greeted with an error message: The requested operation couldn't be completed because the feature is not supported. Any ideas to fix it? Or is it just another Dropbox issue that won't ever get addressed like the missing favourites bug? Note, dragging and dropping works flawlessly using Google Drive, One Drive, iCloud etc. I've tried removing and redownloaded Dropbox etc.
