Can we upload live photos through Camera Uploads?
I can see lots of posts asking for support for Live Photos. I feel quite cheated that I have lost the ability to see these photos. As someone else has also posted, I have little snippets of my mother’s voice and movement that I have lost forever and she has passed away. Dropbox offer a photo sync service which means they need to solve for Live Photos, they have been around since 2015 so it’s not a new function. Please prioritise a solution to upload and then restore Live Photos.
Mac backup 0% complete, 'Backup now' is grey, says will complete in 1 sec but no movement.
I noticed Dropbox Backup today, looks good for my needs as a long time solo user w/ a 2TB account. Selected documents and music folders in my Mac user account, all looked OK then....nothing, no movement. Stuck at 0% even though it says updating 2,367 files and 1 sec remaining. Nothing, nada. I've rebooted, removed the external drive I wanted to also backup, re-installed Dropbox, no other cloud service-connected files are present in anything I want to backup, tried automatic backups on and off....but nothing. The 'Backup now' is also greyed out whatever I do. I've looked at various Db help pages but nothing. Any ideas appreciated. Also why no Backup label? Mac 13.4.1 Ventura Latest Dropbox

I joined a client's folder, but I'm being asked for more Dropbox space to add a file to it.
A client shared their dropbox link with me to upload files and it keeps telling me my personal account is full and to upgrade. I don't want to upgrade my account. The clients have a full account and I joined their folder to upload too. How can I get rid of this error.
Do uploads overwrite existing files or folders?
When I upload a file or folder to dropbox & it has same name as existing file or folders, do the new ones overwrite the existing ones ? Or does it skip uploading the new ones cuz there's already one there ??? Or does it give it a (1) behind name & I have to go delete the old files or folders ???

Restarted the phone Cleared the catch Cleared the data Uninstalled the app, reinstalled, logged back in. Updated the app and OS Tried on wifi and mobile Nothing works. Any suggestions?
Will Dropbox ever allow syncing arbitrary directories?
I have been a long time free user of Dropbox. The free plan was enough for an occasional share. But I have a huge photo archive as a photographer, and I also scanned all the family photos and digitized all the VHS and film videos. I have a backup of everything on at least 5 different physical storage media. I am thinking about syncing to cloud as well, and becoming a paying Dropbox user seemed like a good idea. But the problem is, that my photo archive is the most important thing on my computer, it needs to be the most accessible and visible folder and I require it to be on root of the biggest disk. I would want this directory, named "Photo" to be synced to Dropbox. I do NOT want to, and WILL NOT move it to Dropbox directory, just in order to be synced. The photo archive is too important and I don't want to hide or obscure it, by moving into some completely non-related directory. I am reading that Dropbox does not support syncing arbitrary folders, except the Dropbox directories and some completely useless folders, like "My Documents" (which I've never used, as I have a better organization of my files, but other apps put garbage into this folder). So, will Dropbox ever support this? I am really considering to become a paying user, but without this, it's useless.
