Your workflow is unique 👨💻 - tell us how you use Dropbox here.
I add content using my desktop app, but it won't upload to the other platforms.
My files are not uploading through the (most recent) of the dropbox app for windows. I am now seeing that this is signficantly behind. I only found it when I tried to access some files through dropbox on my phone and couldn't. Then I found that whole folders are not listed on dropbox.com. I have tried clearing my browser cache, made sure I started and restarted the app, plus reinstalled it - twice. I don't have a VPN. My internet connection is 300 mbps, so that's not a problem. None of these files are huge. I am using less than a third of my dropbox capacity (3TB). What can I do?

Feature request: support multiple .dropboxignore files in subfolders (like .gitignore)
Why this matters: current single-file approach breaks common industry project workflows with repeated folder structures. The industry solved this problem years and years ago with .gitignore, now you decide to throw that out the window for a large one at the top. As someone who works on lots of different unity projects, I use templates. When they get generated, imagine if I could throw a .dropboxignore file into this template and then never sync my library folders on any devices, never sync any temp folders, and never sync packages because they should all be handled by package revolvers. The types of people who use this type of feature are the types of people who are use to gitignores, which is why it is so monumentally baffling that you have done things this way. I seriously can not fathom for the life of me why you did it this way. Device: Custom Desktop (5070ti, 7800x3d, 32gb) OS: Windows 11 Dropbox App Version: 243.4.6956
The Dropbox ignore feature isn't working
Operating System Windows 11 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 244.3.6525 Issue I am a developer and created a rules.dropboxignore file configured to ignore the **/build folder. When the folder is created, it does not sync. However, sometimes when I start the Dropbox app (or VSCode, I cannot identify what triggers it), Dropbox syncs my build folder along with all project files inside it. To fix this, I have to delete the build folder and rebuild my project so it stops syncing, but the next day the build folder gets synced again. Something is intermittently causing the ignore rules to stop working for a short period of time, which is quite disruptive to my workflow.
My Backup online shows as 0 bytes. What is happening?
Hi I was able to download the Dropbox App for my surface pro and setup the backup. After successfully backing up, the dropbox online says my "Desktop" "Documents" & "Downloads" backed up but there are 0 bytes in each folder. I only wanted to back up these three folders. Can someone please help me? Thank you, Emily
Syncing does not proceed on my fast W10 PC
I have DB 241.4.4853 on Win10 PC. Dropbox keeps Uploading 203,163 files and downloading 5 files, but no progress for days. I do not see any updated DB content on my laptop (my other computer, W11) Dropbox folders. I have very fast PC and light fiber connection 500 MB up and down. What may be the problem and solution? I have >700 MB on Dropbox, ca. 130 locally on my PC.
Sync arrows showing on my files in the Dropbox folder but the app is not syncing
Hi everyone, I’m seeing the sync arrows next to some files/folders in Explorer, but nothing seems to be actively syncing. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: Resynced files Toggled files between online-only and local Rebooted my machine Paused and restarted Dropbox sync The only thing I haven’t tried yet is completely uninstalling and reinstalling Dropbox. Has anyone else run into this? Any tips or workarounds before I go the uninstall route? Thanks in advance!
