144 TopicsDropbox not syncing to Apple folders (Desktop, Documents, Downloads)
Device MacBook Air M4 Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Sequoia, Tahoe Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 241.4.4853 Dropbox Plan Family Question or Issue My files are on Dropbox online. I now need to download them to my Mac (I've tried this on both a Tahoe and a Sequoia machine). Although the Mac already has Desktop, Documents and Downloads folders, the Dropbox app creates a new parallel set of (virtual) folders under the same names, residing in the Dropbox folder (~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox. In the past Dropbox used to sync with the existing Apple folders, but that's not been the case since a few OS X/Dropbox versions. It is my understanding that the parallel folders are supposed to be there, but Mac would mirror these, to make it look like they are in the `Apple folders. It makes no difference whether either File Provider and/or Backup is on or off. How do get rid of this double folder issue?41Views0likes2CommentsMy files aren't syncing. Is my app connected to the right account?
I am a new employee to a company. The previous employee had a dropbox acct on the same computer that I use, however my files are not syncing with the other team members for the company. When I open preferences below is the dropbox folder location which is that of the previous employee. How can I resolve this issue?182Views0likes21CommentsYou are not eligible for Dropbox on File Provider at this time

Good morning, I am using the Dropbox Desktop app and I would like to link my new Business Dropbox. Unfortunately, my previous' employers business Dropbox is still linked, but I can no longer sign in to this account to unlink it. Is there a work around that does not require me to sign in to my old business dropbox? Thank you!48Views0likes2CommentsScreenshot shortcut conflicting on Mac not allowing me to take screenshots
I have a free dropbox account and Command+Shift+3 & Command+Shift+4 to make screen captures seems to be conflicting with the Dropbox app. Nothing happens when I press the keys. I have a iMAC (intel) w/apple keyboard and am using macOS Sequoia 15.7.3. All the apple system keyboard short cut preferences are on. Is there a setting that needs to be turned off in the Dropbox preferences or a work around? The only time I can get it to work is when I am logged out of Dropbox. I have no problems with Dropbox syncing or conflicting with any other keyboard shortcuts.Solved151Views0likes4CommentsHow can I remove the Dropbox contextual menu items on Mac?

I've tried to follow the instructions that were provided to Walter on 2/6/23 to disable automatic Dropbox start-up when I open my Mac. When I click on the Dropbox icon at the bottom of my screen, I get the file folders that I've set up, not a page that has my Profile initials. Where do I locate the Preferences? Thanks for your help.Solved4.1KViews0likes2CommentsI've looked everywhere online for my selective sync settings, but I can't find them.
I have looked everywhere on my Dropbox.com account and cannot find sync anywhere. I have found preferences and there is nothing about sync there. I have a colleagues whose screen shows sync under this menu. I have been on Dropbox since 2008. I upgraded the desktop app but don't know if or how I can update the desktop application. Any suggestions? Could she possibly have a paid version if she has selective sync -- but even with the free version I should have sync shouldn't I so I can remove files I don't want to sync Her message: Across the menu bar at the top you should see a drop box icon. Click on it. [Note: this only opens my dropbox - I need to click my personal icon and then I get setting and preferences] Then you’ll see an option called settings or preferences. Click on it and you’ll see an option that says sync. [Note: I don't see sync option anywhere here] Click on that and look for an option that says ‘selective sync’ Here you can click only the folders you want.Solved8.6KViews0likes7Comments
