"1 file is unable to sync" error on sync status but "See Issues" option shows nothing.
Hi everyone, I could use some help on this Dropbox pushed out an update to our user environment and it broke our integration and we are slowly starting to fix it. I have a user that has a file that will not sync. When i click the option to see what file is not syncing, it is blank. I cannot locate this file anywhere. I stopped the sync for an hour to let indexing catch up and restarted the sync. No luck We also uninstalled and reinstalled Dropbox (completely removing the folders and profile from before) ran chkdsk Signed out, rebooted and signed back in verified there is no firewall or antivirus restrictions Stopped and restarted the dropbox services we are on version 199.4.6287
Will Dropbox ever allow syncing arbitrary directories?
I have been a long time free user of Dropbox. The free plan was enough for an occasional share. But I have a huge photo archive as a photographer, and I also scanned all the family photos and digitized all the VHS and film videos. I have a backup of everything on at least 5 different physical storage media. I am thinking about syncing to cloud as well, and becoming a paying Dropbox user seemed like a good idea. But the problem is, that my photo archive is the most important thing on my computer, it needs to be the most accessible and visible folder and I require it to be on root of the biggest disk. I would want this directory, named "Photo" to be synced to Dropbox. I do NOT want to, and WILL NOT move it to Dropbox directory, just in order to be synced. The photo archive is too important and I don't want to hide or obscure it, by moving into some completely non-related directory. I am reading that Dropbox does not support syncing arbitrary folders, except the Dropbox directories and some completely useless folders, like "My Documents" (which I've never used, as I have a better organization of my files, but other apps put garbage into this folder). So, will Dropbox ever support this? I am really considering to become a paying user, but without this, it's useless.
I reinstalled the Dropbox app and now I'm being asked to rename the old folder and create a new one.
I just downloaded dropbox from their site. It is installing. It has reached the point of creating the dropbox folder -- if this was a new install. However, this is a reinstall. "Couldn't rename Dropbox to make room for your Dropbox folder. Dropbox needs to rename your existing folder or file named Dropbox to finish installing. Please close any open documents and try again." I have no files open that I can see. Should I reboot?
Dropbox icon constantly reports "Indexing 4 files..."
I deleted all files in my personal Dropbox account, then moved a couple gigs of files into it from my work Dropbox account. It took a little while to move the files but has been completed for a couple days but I have a persistent working icon showing and it says "Indexing 4 files...". How do I determine which files it is supposedly still indexing, or if it is just hung up for some reason? I told it to show me any Sync issues and it says I have no sync issues. I have quit/restarted several times. Running Windows10.
How can I see what files the client thinks it needs to sync?
The client says >250k files, 157GB The total size of the folders marked to sync is <25GB It it really so difficult to give us more details on which files are currently being synchronised and which ones are in the queue? Literally all the others I know of do! Mega.NZ, StackStorage, OwnCloud...
I can't paste the screenshots I capture on Windows
For some reason I cannot pate the screenshots after I press "Print Screen". I have dropbox on my pc set to copy link when image is ready and then there is a pop up on the bottom right when I take a picture and it says "press ctrl+v to copy" BUT IT DOESN'T work at all!
