Unable to make all my files available offline onto new Mac
I've got a new iMac after the old one has just given up the ghost. All my files are fortunately backed up on Dropbox. My back-up drive was unfortunately corrupted. I've installed Dropbox on the new computer and all my files now appear but with "zero bytes". But there's a problem. I can download each file onto the hard drive one at a time by opening and closing it, but this is impossibly time consuming to do for every single file! I have gone to Dropbox Preferences, then clicked Sync and then checked Available Offline - but still all my "zero bytes" files remain on line and don't download until I click on them. I'm sure there's a simple solution. Please can someone advise me how to find it? Thanks.
Why doesn't online-only work normally on my account?
This has been an ongoing issue. The DB tech support rep I talked to was utterly useless and keep telling me to use selective sync instead, which not only doesn't solve my problem (I WANT the file to be visible, just not downloaded), but also seems like an admission on the rep's part that this setting doesn't work at all. So why have the setting at all? Alright, so here's a pretty simple scenario: I create a huge file (F) on computer A I open computer B Obviously, F is not on B Even though B has "online-only" setting checked, B still downloads F This is particularly annoying if I'm on a slow internet connection, as my Dropbox is syncing this file for HOURS and slowing down my other work. Again: why have the setting at all if it doesn't do what it is supposed to do?
I altered the modifying dates on my files. Will my files and updates be safe once I resume the app?
Hello friends. I have a lotof old pictures (some dating back to 1950s) on my computer which are synced with Dropbox. They are close to 1TB. I took the past week modifying the dates in the pictures (created date, modified date, EXIF dates) on my desktop to reflect when the pictures were taken. I didnt really think about it but now I am afraid of running the dropbox application since I dont know which dates will be retained when dropbox syncs with the folders. Since the dates on the files in dropbox are more recent than the dates I put on the files now, I am concerned that dropbox will download those files and overwrite the ones on my desktop and I will lose the updated dates I put on the files. Does anyone know what date dropbox uses to sync files? Does it use date modified, date accessed or something else. Any help will be appreciated.
Is it possible to access tags from my iPhone?
I have tags on various files created on my MacBook and need to see these tags when accessing the files on my iPhone. I need these tags for quick reference to see what invoices are still outstanding when visiting clients. However when I view the files on both the iOS Dropbox app and the Files app on my iPhone the tags aren't visible. Is there a setting or view option to make the tags visible on my iPhone, on either the iOS Dropbox app directly or the Files app? I can't seem to find it anywhere?
Stop syncing to a computer I no longer have access to.
Most of my Dropbox files are synced to my home computer. I've recently ended a personal relationship with which some of my Dropbox Folders were Selectively Synced to that person's computer. I can't seem to figure out from my Dropbox Account how and where to go to stop their computer from having access to those selectively synced folders from their computer since I no longer have access to uninstall the desktop App/account on their laptop. Any advice would be helpful.
I've set my iOS camera uploads to add only new photos, but it's trying to re-upload everything.
I went from a iPhone 11 to a iPhone 16 Pro a few months ago. I backed up photos to Dropbox before I moved everything to the new phone. Had issues with the new phone and Apple had me do a full factory reset, and then I was only able to download certain (minimal) apps from my cloud, to prevent the new phone from picking up anything old that might have caused the issues. This shouldn't affect my Dropbox app, since that is a separate cloud. But now when I back up photos, it is scanning my ENTIRE library of photos, which is many years worth, it seems, and it seems to want to download all of these photos, most of which are already in my Dropbox. I went to settings to see if selecting "Back up/New photos only" would solve this issue, but it only identifies new photos as of today, not the past couple of months since I got this phone. But then I looked at what's in my Camera Uploads folder, and there are photos from as recent as early December, but not current. With my old phone, Dropbox would only grab the new photos since last upload. So what am I doing wrong here?The context menu is missing in my Windows device.
Hi, I've been having problems with this for months and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times along with anything else I can find - checking the registry entries to make sure DropBox is in the first 15 etc and as far as I can tell everything is as it should be. Today I had another go so unistalled, restarted my PC and then reinstalled - once I completed setup I opened the Dropbox folder and the DropBox options were there in the right hand menu so I thought I'd finally sorted it... but when I closed that menu and right clicked again they were no longer there...? I wanted to get it sorted as if I can I'll upgrade my DropBox to a larger capacity / paid account but don't want to do it if I can't. When I was looking for alternatives I installed pcloud and that works fine in the right hand menu...?? First time I right-clicked after installing... after that the DropBox options disappear, if I click show more options it's not there either although the pcloud software I installed today comes up... And the registry...Changes on third-party app not syncing between three Linux distros
I have three linux distros installed on my desktop. They all have Gnucash and Dropbox. They are all connected to the same Dropbox account. I made a change in Gnucash on one of the distros and then later switched to the other two distros. The changes that I made in the one doesn't show up in the Gnucash on the other two distros. All three distros have the same version of Gnucash (5.10). What do I need to do further to solve this problem?
I'd like the desktop app to sync only once per day on my Linux device.
I am working with Linux Mint 21.1 the latest version. Dropbox keeps syncing all day for me. This is not necessary for me. 1 time on the while starting the computer is enough for me. Can I also set this so that Dropbox only syncs once a day?
