3441 TopicsHelp with selective sync and freeing up space on my Mac
I am on the free dropbox plan, using a Mac with the dropbox app. My hard drive is full and I have deleted almost everything but seeing that my dropbox folders are being copied to my hard drive in addition to being on the web. Selective sync should allow me to not have the folders downloaded on my hard drive but none of the instructions allow me to do it. I'd appreciate any help.38Views0likes3CommentsNo contextual menu after moving Dropbox to home directory

As per MasterOfDragon I too want to see the online folders in my Dropbox directory in the app. I used to be able to see both online only and offline folders and files. they were annotated with a cloud (for online only) or a green tick (offline). I have followed the directions of https://help.dropbox.com/sync/selective-sync-overview#How-to-use-selective-sync but the problem persists. Surely there must be a way to see what folders/files are online only without logging on to the web service. thanks34Views0likes3CommentsHaving notes available to each file uploaded to the account.
As a content creator, I frequently collect video clips and photos to demonstrate examples of my discussions. However it may be weeks, or even several months before I am ready to use those files. There is no way for me to remember the source, the circumstances, the story and/or details around those files. Rather than creating very lengthy names for these items to describe them, I'd love a way to add a note when they are saved. It would be very helpful to also have a note feature available for my subfolders for the same reason. Thanks for listening!436Views0likes4CommentsWant some files in Dropbox left only on my laptop, not synced
Without my knowledge, Dropbox synced all of my personal files to its system and now I'm over limit. I do not want to lose my files so how do I get my stuff back to my computer and off dropbox so they don't get destroyed?6Views0likes1CommentNot seeing a few folders in Dropbox in Windows Explorer on a new laptop

I have an Android phone and a Windows 11 laptop. I made changes to a document in Dropbox from my computer but when I pull up the document on my phone, it does not reflect the changes. Tried to go to "settings" in Dropbox, but can't find settings! Googled it but that was no help.Solved82Views0likes6CommentsHow can I select a folder on a hard-drive to sync to Dropbox, then share with others?
Device M2 Macbook Pro Operating System/Browser (if using the web) macOS 15.6.1 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 235.4.5905 Question or Issue I've got a folder of files that I store on an external hard drive that I'd like to have constantly syncing to dropbox so that I can easily share them while on the go etc with people. I can see that the backup option exists and will let me back these files up, but it says it won't then let me then share those files. This is a folder I'm constantly generating new files into, so a one off upload won't work, and I need to be able to generate a sharing link for these files. Is this possible with Dropbox currently?Solved57Views0likes2Comments
