Can’t get Dropbox to sync real time between Mac-book and iPad
If I make changes to the excel file on my Dropbox account and then go to my ipad and open the file through the Dropbox app, it is an older version. It even says that the file hasn’t been modified for several days. What am I missing? Thanks! C
Can I select all files uploaded on a particular date?
As part of an attempt to move a Photoshop Elements catalogue, I moved thousands of photos out of Dropbox for safekeeping, offline so they'd stay intact on other computers and in the cloud. Then after installing the program I did the work to prepare for the photos to be indexed. Then I moved the photos back into Dropbox but forgot to take the computer offline, so all 27.5K+ files have now synced to the Cloud. But because they had the same names I now have the originals and copies. Is there a way I can identify all the Dropbox files that were uploaded today, or any particular date, so I can delete only the copies?

A bunch of my files went to Zero Bytes on Mac
This issue was posted here like five years ago by a different user and the fix worked for them but I've encountered the issue now and the fix isn't working. Basically, I've got a new Mac, synced all my files from my old Mac but they're mostly showing up as Zero Bytes and they're not openable. I tried going to my preferences->Account->holding down the alt/option key and clicking "Fix Permissions". It prompts me for my computer password, I enter it, it seems to work but doesn't. So I do it again, then I receive the error message in Dropbox: "Dropbox was unable to fix permissions in your Dropbox. Please contact support if the problem persists." I'm on the basic plan, so I don't have access to proper support (bad show, guys) so I'm hoping someone can help.
Restore Unsynced files
I lost a bunch of files when trying to activate selective sync to save space and I've been giving myself headaches trying to figure out how to get them back. At this point I would love to just upgrade to a paid plan with more storage and restore my files to where they were before the sync debacle. What subscription level would me this capability?

Will deleting a file from my PC folder also delete its backup? How can I save up space on my device?
From what I understand there is the backup folder and the folder that is on the PC and is available in other applications. If I delete a file from the PC, does the backup folder also delete the file? If so, I can't save disk space! I intended to have files that take up a lot of space just in the backup and take them off the disk to save space.Moving files via the web interface is glacially slow - how to fix?
Hi: I'm trying to use the web interface to move pictures out of the "Camera uploads" folder and into a holding folder for later sorting. There are around 3k images that I would like to move, but the web interface returns an error along the lines of "that's too many files to move". That seems dumb (3k files isn't an unreasonably large number), but whatever. The real problem occurred when I tried to move the files in batches. I selected around 800 and tried to move them - I waited at least 10 mins before I gave up. As far as I can tell, no files were moved. Why is this and is there any fix other than moving the files using file explorer and then letting the changes sync to the web? Thanks, -Jeremy
