The Dropbox folder does not appear in Locations on my Mac.
Hello: I am updated to the latest version of Dropbox with File Provider Dropbox works flawlessly when I find the Finder folder using the menu bar icon I can also find the Dropbox folder in ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox, where it appears with a grey circle against it However, the Dropbox folder does NOT appear under Locations Finder Preferences have Cloud Storage ticked under Locations in Sidebar Unticking/ticking, rebooting, restarting Dropbox doesn not change this. I'd love to get my Dropbox in the Locations bar where it should be. Any ideas? Thanks Jack
Dropbox backup does not recognize my 2nd and 3rd internal hard drives.
I am trying to backup some folders from my two data hard drives installed internally on my Windows 11 computer. Dropbox isn't allowing me to choose additional hard drives within my computer, only the HDD which is used for installed programs only, no data such as documents, pictures, music, videos, project data, etc. (that choice box is grayed out) This makes backing up the folders that regularly need to be backed up impossible and makes the backup feature useless for me. Any tips on solving this mystery?I receive a "Permission denied" error on my macOS Dropbox app and I can't access it.
I've been having issues with opening the Dropbox app in my Mac. No problem using the browser, or accessing on my phone & iPad, but the app just doesn't open only may Mac.

I need to install the Desktop App for Selective Sync. I've downloaded the Fedora rpm and installed it. I installs a filemanager. When I click on the 'open dropbox app' the screen blinks and is redisplayed. What are the steps for installing the Dropbox app? Thanks
File Explorer automatically opens when app launches at startup on Windows
As the title says my dropbox folder in file explorer for some reason has started to automatically open every time I start my laptop / the dropbox app launches. I have not changed any settings (to the best of my knowledge) but for the life of me can't figure out how to prevent this from happening.
I get an error when selecting the sync location of my Dropbox folder on Windows.
I go to my personal account in the browser. I downloaded a new dropbox, installed it on my computer. I start logging into the application, go to the point where I need to select a folder to save. I select a folder and it gives me an error. C:erorr/dropbox errorqr24scro.txt
The desktop app UI on Linux looks old and there's no option to move the Dropbox folder.
I recently switched to Linux from Windows and was looking to have my Dropbox accessible on my desktop. I installed the app direct from the website, and the app looks like its from the early 2000's. I also like to keep a copy of my files offline, through an external desktop expansion, that is synced with the cloud. However, there is no ability (on Linux) to be able to select the sync destination on your computer to be on a different drive than your original one. The Linux version of Dropbox desperately needs to be updated with modern and basic functionality
How can I sign into a different account on the Dropbox desktop app on Mac?
Hi, I have two accounts: one is the basic plan with a single email, and the other is an upgraded account, but for some reason, it’s linked to a different email address. I accidentally connected the basic account to Finder on my Mac, and now I can’t seem to switch it. I’ve logged into the upgraded account and downloaded the installer multiple times, but it always reverts to the basic account. I’ve also tried linking the accounts without success. At this point, I feel like I must be missing a step and could really use some help to resolve this. Thank you so much Renee
