Potential Dups - See PC and PC (2) in Selective Sync
Hello! I am trying to clean up my folders before adding a new laptop to my account. My current computer, which is based on a 2023 repair, shows PC and PC (2) as folders for synching. I would like to know if both PC and PC (2) can be combined or if there is a way to merge these. (I don't know which is PC and which is PC (2), but I think PC (2) is the more active one. I am scared to delete the first set of folders in case there is something on there that is not in PC (2), but it's hard to tell. Thank you!
Support online-only files for ARM (Snapdragon) processors
We are currently unable to use Dropbox on Windows Surface Pro Devices with Snapdragon Processors as they do not allow for Online-Only files. This causes the entirety of their files to sync to the device and renders the device unusable as all disk space is consumed.
Sync results under "Your Activity" show yesterday's synced files not today's.
I can see syncing occurring with the dropbox notification icon on the Mac. When I look, syncing runs. When it completes, instead of showing what was just synced, it only shows files synced the previous day under the Yesterday heading. Those synced today or moments ago ought to show up under the Today heading, but nothing ever shows there. To be clear, the recently synced files do not show up under Yesterday, either. This seems like a bug. Because dropbox sometimes takes time to get around to syncing on the desktop, I need to be able to check if it recently synced any files. This behavior of never displaying recently synced files in the Your Activity list is disappointing. The image was captured mid-day, less than 10 minutes after syncing a dozen files. Note that Yesterday heading shows files underneath. The Today heading shows none of the files just synced.
The ignore folder command isn't working; the folder is not being ignored.
I'm trying to ignore a node_modules folder using the command posted here: https://help.dropbox.com/sync/ignored-files My command as typed in Windows power shell is below: Set-Content -Path 'C:\Users\mroch\Dropbox\sd\node_modules' -Stream com.dropbox.ignored -Value 1 I do not see a gray 'minus' sign next to my node_modules folder in Windows Explorer and the files inside continue to by synced.
My Mac is stuck at "Syncing" after updating my OS.
Dropbox icon is saying "Syncing . . . " forever. I upgraded macOS to the latest version (15.3.1) and restarted the machine. (I don't know how to update Dropbox .) "View sync issues" says "You don't have any sync issues." How can one diagnose what's going wrong?
