You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Uploading files in bulk and getting an error that some files have been skipped
when im uploading files in bulk form of filling system I have created. Im experiencing a message telling me files have been skipped in the box on the bottom right of the screen. However when I look in the files on Dropbox after the upload has completed. The files it referring to are there and uploaded as needed? This is therefore confusing me thinking the files have not uploaded and been skipped in the process. What does the "skipped" mean? Im concerned there may be files that don't get uploads. This is a very big concern as I have a lot to upload. if a file fails to upload is that shown in the failed area. sounds like a daft question but im just confused with the whole skipped thing when its showing as being there. when bulk uploading how will in know a fail has failed to upload?
How can I log in to my account without having access to the email address?
I have a dropbox account connected to my yahoo email. I no longer have this email account (yahoo deleted it for inactivity) but I would like to reach the dropbox account connected to it. I have tried several times to log in using diffrent ways but nothing has worked. I would be so thankful for help in reaching all my old photos. Does anyone have advice?
New Account: cannot copy a large amount of files to Dropbox.
I have a new Dropbox Business account, and I have 9TB of space on it. I tried to copy 1TB of files up to start using Dropbox, but it fails saying there is no more space avialable. Only a few GB of data transferred. How do a get the initial upload of a large number of files up so I can start using Dropbox?Dropbox External Drive Backup - Changing Computers
I’ve just found out when you change Laptop / Desktop you can’t continue to use the same external hard drive with Dropbox Backup. This is absolute madness. If you want to continue to use that hard drive with Dropbox Backup you have to re upload the full HD. I have 2TB used on a 4TB external SSD and I’ve just changed to a new MacBook. I’m having to spend three days uploading / backing-up all my data again just to continue to use that same drive with the new device. What a waste of energy, electricity, data and bandwidth. For no reason. My old backup is sitting there in my account with all the same data and I just have to re-upload 2TB of the exact same files for no reason other than Dropbox can’t set up a way to re-link an external hard drive on on a new system. I can’t believe this is the current state of affairs for this service.
Very slow upload speed when using the Dropbox site
I am getting 100Mb/s Speed on speedtest.net but I am getting very slow speeds while uploading the files it is taking hours while google drive takes minutes, I am not sure what seems to be the issue. I am uploading via web app. I run a business if it one folder would take this much time when I will upload all the folders. Can anyone help on this? Any help is appreciated. Thanking you in advance
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
