1019 Topicshow to make Dropbox invisible in explorer
Hi I successfully moved my Dropbox folder to the D folder because I often accidentally moved files to DB. Now it is safely in place; not always visible when opening explorer. The problem now is that it still appears as a folder under the desktop. Properties shows the folder location as D drive. . If I hide the folder, it also hides the DB folder on D. Can anyone advise how to hide or delete this folder while keeping the D drive directory?22Views0likes2Comments"Dropbox is ending support for Windows 7, 8 and 8.1" message but I'm on a Windows 10 PC.

I recently had to reinstall windows and thus firefox and Chrome too. The dropbox passwords extension for Chrome works just fine. Firefox does not. I also loaded Waterfox, just to try it...no luck.Solved15Views0likes4CommentsMy Windows computer won't sync to Dropbox.
My plan is plus. I tried re-downloading and re-synchronizing, but they all failed. I also asked customer service but no follow-up response. My native language is Chinese, so I am asking questions through a translator. Please forgive me if the grammar or semantics may be weird. I hope there are some capable people passing by who are willing to help and see how to solve the problem.QQ25Views0likes1CommentMy files on my laptop show up as unreadable
Basically, I could see my file. But every time I clicked my file. For example, if I click the pdf file, it shows up unreadable. Chrome said The webpage atfile:///C:/Users/XXXX/Dropbox/CS1/HW4/hw04.pdf might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. I could not access to any one of my file. \ And I login to my dropbox account. I could not see any of the files. But on my laptop, I could see the file but cannot access them18Views0likes1CommentWhich plan is right for my needs?
I have had a Basic plan for many years, I’ve used it to share files between devices and with other people, but now the sharing ability has been restricted. I understand the business need to generate revenue from the services offered, and I am looking for the right service for me. What I want is the ability to: (1) continue sharing files between devices; (2) share files with other people like I could previously, including sharing files with a publicly accessible link; (3) back up files from one or more devices, without the requirement to sync the entire archive to any one device; (4) explore files remotely by folder and individual file, rather than download as a collection (e.g. ZIP) as required by services like iCloud; (5) ideally map the archive to a drive or folder in Windows for archive management using file comparison tools (or an integrated file comparison tool at least as capable as BeyondCompare); (6) back up the archive to a local hard drive for extra security; (7) have >1TB of archive capacity; (8) be able to use this for personal use and business use as an individual sole trader, not a large company with a big IT budget. I know I need to pay for this level of service, and with the archive and backup facilities I can justify a business expense. But I need a competitive price, without paying for lots of extras I simply don’t need. Is Dropbox the right solution for me? Does the Plus plan meet all the above? Which is the lowest cost solution which does? If Dropbox isn’t the right choice for me, what should I be looking at instead?26Views0likes4CommentsError "Could not save because the file is already in use" when editing with Photoshop
