The Dropbox icon on my Mac only opens the Dropbox folder and I can't get to the preferences
I have been having issues with my dropbox syncing across devices - I think there is an issue in my selective sync. However, everytime I attempt to open the dropbox desktop application on my mac, it only opens the finder folder. I have no options to go to dropbox setting or preferences from there.
How can I use selective sync on Linux?
Guys: I would like to use the Dropbox CLI to perform “Selective Sync” on a sub-directory, $HOME/Dropbox/level1/level2. The following are my sample commands in Linux: dropbox exclude add $HOME/Dropbox/* dropbox exclude remove $HOME/Dropbox/level1/level2 However, the second command does not work. If I change it to “dropbox exclude remove $HOME/Dropbox/level1”, it will work. Looks like the command only works under directory, $HOME/Dropbox, it will not go down to next level of sub-directories. Could you shine some light on this? Thanks! YiOnline-Only folder setting fails to persist
I just started using Dropbox desktop app, and I am moving about a terabyte of files into online-only storage. I have a folder that I am putting batches of files in as I get them organized, and so that I'm syncing in batches instead of doing it all at once. Here is the issue: The folder that I am placing files in keeps changing from Online-Only to Available Offline. Each time I add a new bunch of files to it, I have to right click and re-select Online-Only. Then it removes the files from my computer and I see the cloud icon instead of the blue checkmark. However the next time I move files into the folder from my hard drive, it changes back, and after the files are synced I have to once again right click and change the folder to Online-Only. I have the default sync state for new files set to Online-only, but I don't know if a "new" file is just one that is new to my Dropbox folders or one that I create within Dropbox. Either way, once I manually set a folder to Online-only, I want it to stay that way, regardless of what files I move into/out of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I want to move my Dropbox folder to D drive but it says I have to disable backup
Hello, I read some other advice about this, and this is how far I got before I got stuck. Opened the Drobox app on my Taskbar. Clicked on my Avatar and then picked Preferences. Went down to Sync. Clicked on Dropbox Folder Location, changed it to my D Drive. Started moving, then stopped and said I had to disable PC Backup. Opened up the app on the Taskbar again and paused syncing indefinitely. Went through all the steps again, but got the same message. Any suggestions? Renate
