Dropbox is filling my Mac's hard drive with clone files.
Hi! I have a 1tb hard drive, and just added 600gb of files to a local folder that dropbox is set to sync to. Since then, Dropbox has created an extra 500gb worth of "clone files" in a root mount, group containers folder. My hard drive is now completely full and I'm unable to back up my original files. Are these dropbox clone files just temporary? Can I only back up files to the cloud if I have more than twice the amount of local drive space available?
Make available offline not working on Mac OS 14.7.4
I am experiencing the same issue as many users. No matter how many times I ask my files to stored offline, some of them never sync, so I need to manually download them from my Dropbox online account and place them in my local folder again. This makes my workflow slow, and is absolutely against why I have Dropbox in the first place. Dropbox version: 223.4.4909 MacBook pro (M3), Sonoma version 14.7.4
No taskbar icon, no green circles, not right click menu items.
As the title says, I can't check the sync status as none of the items are available on my Windows 10 Pro Dell Precision laptop, which is 8 years old. I read through several help articles, and I can't perform any steps as the articles reference items I can't see on my laptop. Do I wait for the sync status being available on the web page? Do I reload the app? Do I only upload using the web page? Where is the sync status on the web page?Files with the blue cloud icon aren't accessible on Windows
I work in a team of 4 people and everything went well for years with dropbox and my team members. Then I installed a windows update (from W11-22H to W11-24H). After that update my problems begon. Not all the files are accessible anymore for my pc, For the other team members and on my smartphone everything remains ok, but not on my own pc where the dropbox app is installed. With the windows file viewer I get the icons 'blue cloud' and a 'green V'. The files with the cloud icon are not accessible. New added files are also not visible on my pc. With the dropbox app i can do an see everything with all the files but with the file viewer I have those problems. I have the feeling that the synchronisation between dropbox cloud and my pc is gone/broken/interrupted How can I solve this problem ? Thank you for your answers/solution. Grtz, Michel J.
Some files are not syncing from my desktop to my other devices
I have some files (not all) that are in Dropbox that do not sync/ update from my desktop to my hand-held devices. They updated for a long time but now have started not updating which is very inconvenient. Can anybody help, please? Thank you.
How can I move my local Dropbox folder to my external drive?
I've looked through the various posts and do not see anything that is specifically addressing how to do this. Right now, my Dropbox file is synced to my desktop so that files are visible either through the web or on my desktop. I need to move the automatic sync from my desktop to an external hard drive to free up space on my desktop. How to I change the setting in Dropbox to automatically sync everything to the hard drive and not my desktop?
