Hello, when I started my 3 TB DropBox business trial last month I was under the impression I would be able to back up all my photos (over 1 TB) from my iMac desktop computer (not from my iPhone, which only holds a fraction of my photos). I have searched endlessly, please help. System: iMac desktop/OS Mojave 10.14.6. My photos library is located: Macintosh HD > users > home (my name) > Pictures (folder) > Photos Library. I also have other folders of photos that are not in Mac photos in there. See snapshot below: What I am doing: I am going to DropBox on the top bar of my computer > to my icon > preferences > backups > manage backup. Photos/Pictures is not a folder option. The only options are: Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Music, and Movies. I also tried going to my icon > preferences > sync > choose folders, and I get the same options I just mentioned above. I appreciate any and all assistance. Thank you kindly. LTDTMSolved4KViews2likes7CommentsDropbox modified filter for folders doesn't show modified date.
When I view my files and folders in my Dropbox account online, the "Modified" sort column will not show dates for any folders in my account. The column only shows two hypens for each folder instead of a date. The "Modified" column will show dates for FILES, but not for any folders. (I actually have 2 Dropbox accounts, and this problem happens in both of them). If I right click on a folder and choose "Folder Info," the correct Modified Date is shown in that popup for that folder, but for some reason it's not populating in the Modified column in the list of folders. I also suspect this is causing an issue on the file sync with the Windows desktop app, because my folders that I sync to my PC through the desktop app are not pulling the "Modified" date from Dropbox and are populating with today's date instead. The FILES I sync, however, do come through with the correct date applied.529Views1like6CommentsBackup to external drive of all dropbox files including those not synced to my computer
I have significantly more data in my professional dropbox account than is synced onto my computer hard drive (it would not all fit). I would like to make a complete backup of everything in dropbox (both files synced to my computer and also those only existing only in dropbox cloud right now. Combined, it is nearly 1 tb and 1000s of files. Is there a way to steamline this that does not require changing my current sync setting to my computer?722Views1like1CommentExcel for web: error 500

Hi! I am on Windows 11 and have a Dropbox Business account. The Issue: I cannot see the option when I right click a file, to Smart Sync > Local or Online Only I do see this option on my MacBook Pro. I did see the option on my PC earlier this week, I do not see it now. In an effort to troubleshoot my issue, I just install and reinstall Dropbox app on the PC. The problem remains. The options I see when I right click a file are Dropbox > - Share - View in Dropbox - Copy Dropbox Link - Version History - Send with Dropbox History Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!Solved5.8KViews1like14CommentsZip Folder Downloaded from Dropbox 'is invalid'
Hi there, I've just encountered an issue where by a large-ish zipped file i am trying to download (about 4GB in size) cannot be unzipped / extracted even though it appears to download successfully. Anyone encountered something similar? (For context, Dropbox had been working fine for me previously, as I use it exclusively for personal files (and for work i used Microsoft's One Drive). However, I am now using Dropbox Business for work (hence my personal Dropbox does not have a local sync to my computer) and I am trying to migrate all my personal Dropbox files to my local D drive on my computer.)3KViews1like7Comments
