Is there another way to protect a folder in my Dropbox account without Vault?
Since the disappearance of the Vault I have two folders sitting in my Dropbox that I do not want my children to have access to. They want to look through their family and holiday photos though, which I also store in Dropbox. Protecting one folder with my phone code doesn't work as they have that (and I want them to have it). Is there really no alternative to permanently protecting a folder in my Dropbox from prying eyes?82Views0likes3Comments

I tried to log in to the iPhone mobile application yesterday, and was presented with 2FA. I entered the codes which came up invalid. I went back and tried another password which then worked and logged me in immediately. Overnight I have had someone try and access my gmail account using the password that I first entered on the mobile application. And upon logging in to Dropbox I can see that I do not have 2FA enabled. Is the iPhone app compromised?!?Solved1.6KViews0likes6Comments
Completely uninstall dropbox
Why when I uninstall dropbox it is still there?? It comes out of my programs and the App disappears when I press uninstall, but when I type in dropbox my folders and everything still comes up. I want it all to be gone so I can start a brand new one. I had some sharing problems with the old one. Please help, I am so frustrated with something that should be so simple.Solved3KViews0likes5Comments
Firewall blocking dropbox.exeexe
Hi community, Can anyone tell me why Windows Firewall is blocking C:\program files (x86)\dropbox\client\dropbox.exeexe? Note the double exe at the end. It's that that is confusing me, otherwise I would just allow access, but I'm not sure if this is something fishy!!?5.7KViews0likes14Comments
Can't set passcode on mobile app
I have an Android phone (Android 12) and installed Dropbox on my phone and the app is not allowing me to set a passcode. I click the slider to enable passcode and it prompts me for passcode and then says "Passcode set", but the slider unsets itself and the passcode doesn't get set. Any suggestions?Solved3.2KViews0likes10Comments
dropbox.com is not available via the Internet provider, but OK via mobile
Hi, I have Dropbox app on 2 work PCs. Thus I keep my data sync-ed. Suddenly I've noticed that the data is out of sync. The Dropbox app is not reaching the cloud data. I've tried to connect to www.dropbox.com - no way. Timeout. Various browsers (Chrome, FF, Brave), different PCs and OSes (Window10, Linux Mint), at last, even my neighbor from his ones - to no avail. But when I've used the modem connected to the Internet via mobile provider - I've got success. Actually this message is composed in this way. Yesterday my ping www.dropbox.com returned success, today - not. Similarly, yesterday I could trace the route till 162.125.72.18, but today this is broken too. My provider cannot help me, they say. I'm desperate. Any help appreciated!Solved3.9KViews0likes19Comments
Where are the passwords stored?
Dear All, Where are the passwords stored in the Dropbox-Password service? I mean is it stored in the dropbox account (on dropbox servers) - the same as other files? Or inside the browser add-on like localy on the PC inside browser files? Please can you explain more about this password function?Solved3KViews1like1Comment
