242 Topics(Selective Sync Conflict) -- EVERYWHERE!
Devices Microsoft Surface Pro 11, Apple M4 MacBook Air, Apple M2 Mac Mini, Apple iPad Mini, Apple iPhone 16 Pro, Samsung Tab S11, Samsung Tab S7 All of a sudden this morning almost every other file in my dropbox now has selective sync conflict. What is the main reason these conflicts happen in the first place? Is it because I have so many different device types synced to DropBox? On my Mac Mini the DropBox folder is setup on an external drive. I tried reading but all the information on the topic seems vague. Does anyone have any insight on what to do to prevent this mess?? I really appreciate your help in advance.7Views0likes0CommentsI'd like to reset camera uploads on my iOS mobile app.

Hello. I have an iPod running iOS 12.5.8. When I try to login to my account using the iOS app I get the following error, "Unable to Connect to Dropbox There may be a problem with your iPod's internet connection". There is no problem w/ my internet connection. I can connect to the internet fine. When I try to login from my iPod using Google I get an 'invalid" email address error. I know this email is correct b/c I can log in from my desktop. This used to work fine but suddenly stopped working. And yes I tried deleting and reloading the app and it still does not work. I don't have cellular data options on this iPod.84Views1like5CommentsView HTML in Safari rather than the Dropbox mobile app on iOS?
Is there some easy way I am missing of viewing an HTML file from the iOS Dropbox app in Safari rather than in the in-app viewer? I have only been able to make this happen by a convoluted process involving sending files to My Files first.41Views0likes2CommentsChanged password on Excel file, now I get Decryption Failed error on latest iOS
Hi everyone. This is with the latest version of iOS. I have an existing Excel File that is encrypted with a password. It works fine with Dropbox. I change the password and save it, and now I get the error Decryption Failed when I open it on the iPhone with the password. The worksheet works fine on PC. I've even tried changing the password back to the old one and it still doesn't work. Is there some encryption setting in Excel that may be affecting this? I am using Office Professional 2019. Thank you.102Views0likes9CommentsImprovements for the iOS mp3 player in Dropbox.
Hi there, subscription prices are not that low to be honest so would it be too much to want Dropbox to make the iOs app more "useful" (talking from iPad persepctive)? like MP3s can be played right now, but not in the background, and it would be nice for simple player functions like "play only 1 time", "loop", "shuffle" etc. Any update here?78Views0likes7CommentsPhotos upload to Dropbox as duplicates with ‘1’ added to the image title
I’m using an iPhone 15 Pro Max. When I upload photos I take with my phone, duplicates are created. This didn’t happen before. I turned on the ‘Upload directly from Camera’ mode, but later turned it off. Since then, duplicates have started appearing. I upload each photo manually.”54Views0likes5Comments“Syncing with Dropbox paused” error when I access my Files app on iPad
I have an iPhone SE2 and iPad Air 5th generation. When I go to files app, under Dropbox it shows Syncing with Dropbox paused. This is only happening on my iPad and works fine on iPhone. I have seen similar discussion here and the situation looked exactly the same. The solution there was to simply open the preview app. I’ve try using the preview app on iPad but it still hasn’t changed. What am I possibly doing wrong? I’ve tried most of other basic solutions, including removing Dropbox app and reinstalling it, signing out and in. Background app refresh is on. Files are loading, but still shows syncing paused. *iPhone SE2: iOS 26.2, Dropbox version 454.2.2, storage left on the device around 40GB (88GB/128GB used) *iPad Air 5th generation: iPadOS 26.2, Dropbox version 454.2.2, storage left on the device around 20GB (44GB/64GB used) *dropbox: basic, 1.3GB/2.25GB used, above two devices connected *region: JapanSolved166Views0likes3CommentsI can’t save a video from my mobile Dropbox app to my iPhone gallery. Getting a couldn't save error.
I used my computer to upload a mp4 file that I recorded, after uploading it to drop box, I wanted to save it to my IPhone X gallery. I can’t really save it, all I see is “Couldn’t save. Sorry, this type of video cannot be saved to this device” I’m really confused, I tried multiple times but it does not work. Oh and I can watch the video normally on the drop box app. I just can’t save it for some reason. What should I do?Solved9.2KViews0likes6Comments
