There are some old threads on this but couldn't find anything recently. A client with around a million files in Dropbox is migrating to SharePoint- not specifically because Dropbox doesn't work but because the overall M365 environment works better for them. So I'm scripting synchronising by folder to SharePoint using robocopy. However, when I then delete the folder in Dropbox, I'm getting the prompt as to whether to delete for everyone. This is going to pop-up several hundreds times as that's how many individual top-level folders they have. It's not like one prompt appears for all the individual deletions - it's one prompt per folder deleted. I've been testing the script and maybe deleting a folder (sometimes containing 5,000 files) every minute. But the delete prompts are only occurring every 5 minutes or so, sometimes longer. I assume that's because Dropbox is deleting the first folder (which takes 5+ mins for that many files) and then moving onto the next folder How do I disable this prompt? I suspect I can't (doh!) so I might have to consider moving the folders to a "Deleted" folder which I assume won't trigger the prompt.98Views0likes2CommentsAfter an update of the mobile app, I cannot find the "recover files" option.
Hi! Two days ago I updated Dropbox on my iPhone to version 402.2.2 and today when I wanted to recover a deleted file I couldn't find this option... 😟 Now my Account tab where this option was looks like this:83Views0likes3CommentsOnce I upload my files with camera uploads, can I delete the local ones?
Once I successfully upload my photos to Dropbox from my Camera Roll on my iPhone and iPad, can I delete those photos - or some of them - from my devices (to free-up space) and if I do, what happens to them? Thanks!Solved171Views0likes2CommentsFiles reverted to a version that's 6 months old.
Hi, I experienced the oddest situation. Thursday 11.7.24 I opened and worked on 3 excel files which I work on EVERY month. Saved them all of course when finished. Today 2 days later 11.9.24 I go to pull one up and whaaaat? All 3 files have May 2014 dates and data that only goes through April. These files have been saved every month. I know they have as I pulled them up 2 days ago and just added data. Files had data through Sept-24. I checked version history, no help. I checked activity, that does not even show them as being opened. Another file I opened for the financial statements in a different directory did save properly. This has really spooked me and I've lost all faith in DB. Help please! thank you, Russ79Views0likes2CommentsDropbox app on MacOS trying to sync with a deleted file.
I deleted some files remotely through browser login, and now MacOS dropbox app keep trying to sync to this deleted file, halting the syncing process for the app. I can't delete it on dropbox folder (it says it can't delete because waiting to sync). If i use browser to that folder, the file is already deleted (and can't be restored/undeleted). so now dropbox app is stuck in limbo, The Terminal style.823Views0likes8Comments
