170 TopicsWhen moving a file while in preview mode, it still appears in the file list
This was working on Dropbox before but it is not working anymore. You should bring this feature back. So the problem we have is when we move a file from the preview mode. The file moves and get a new location but it is still shown in the preview mode in the mapp it got moved from. It should closed down and you should see the next file in the mapp. The next file in line. Since we started to use Dropbox. For over a year ago it has always been like this. Say you have ten files in a mapp. You open up the first file in the mapp in preview mode. You can see the file and then you have arrows with one of ten. This shows that it is ten files in this particular mapp. Now when you move file number one to another mapp it will move and close down. You will now see the file number two in the mapp in the preview mode. Automatically. But now it will be shown one of nine instead in the mapp because we moved one file. And then you repeat the moving file by file till you get the last file in the mapp. One of one. But now you still see one of ten though you moved all files from the original mapp and it looks like all ten files still are in the mapp. Though they have all been moved to a new mapp. Now you can move all ten files one by one but you still think they are still in the original mapp though they have been moved.32Views0likes2CommentsHow to expand left sidebar width on the website?
How can I expand the left sidebar width. I have many levels of files and I can not see the names of folders that I want to move files into. As you can see below, all I can see is the first letter of the folder "A" and there are several of them. I want to be able to expand the left sidebar so I can see the names of those folders and not just the first letter. I was able to do it before, but not now for some reason. Thanks!1.7KViews5likes9CommentsCan I rename the Dropbox folder to flatten the Dropbox folder path?
Hello Dropbox community! Does anyone know if this possible? Can I take my existing folder path and flatten out the folder path? I would like to rename my "Dropbox" Name to Folder1 Existing - C:\Users\Name\Dropbox\Folder2 Proposed - C:\Folder1\Folder2 The end goal is to zip the "Folder1" and extract it to a computer that doesnt have dropbox and the contents of Folder 2 is linked to the "C:\Folder1\Folder2" Directory. Thank you everyone!22Views0likes1CommentFix actions overlay covering up comments in RTL languages

Hey, guys. Long-time Dropbox user, but perhaps not for very much longer. Every time I try to go to Dropbox in the last couple of days, it is unresponsive. * No matter what browser I use * No matter which part of the website I try to access (it took 20 minutes to update a payment method) * Uploads (65 files, 15Mb each) estimated to take "days." Completely hangs. * Speedtest.net reports that my upload speeds are close to 1Gb. * Bitdefender has dropbox.com whitelisted. * I'm on ethernet connection... not WiFi. I really need a resolution here, or I'm going to have to put another solution in place.871Views2likes10CommentsThe new Dropbox Paper UI doesn't allow me to adjust the navigation column
So I use Dropbox paper EXTENSIVELY and the new upgrade is not working my way. I get that the Paper is now a part of the file system. I can browse the folder using a file exporer and double clicking will open the website. That way does not work for me. If I go to paper.dropbox.com my documents are almost (99,9% gone) gone and all of my folder structure is completely gone. There is one single document. If I click on that I see the document and a sidebar that contains my folders (along with the rest of dropbox - which is annoying, but apparantly the new way). What is REALLY annoying is that everytime I click on a document, the sidebare reposition content, and I can't see the real location without using the scroll bars. And I can't resize the the sidebar. This view is completely useless. I can't click through document because of this reloading and repositioning. And I am not mentioning the fact that it is also slow, because of the way it loads the documents and loads folder structures lazy. Is my Paper profile broken? Or is this the way it is supposed to work? If that is the way it is supposed to work, I am looking for a new platform.39Views1like5Comments
