Windows 10 automatically save screenshots
I was having issues getting the automatic screenshot saving to work on my new (to me) Windows 10 Dell. I was NOT about to reinstall Dropbox, and re-download 250+ gigs of data. Finally found this article that answers it: https://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/change-the-default-location-for-saving-screenshots-in-windows-10/ It shows how to FIND where windows 10 is saving your screenshots (in your pictures library) and how to MOVE that folder. (Right click on the folder, select properties, click the location tab, then browse to where you WANT them saved). Works like magic!!!Solved43KViews1like4CommentsMac client keeps asking to turn on accessibility
I'm running Dropbox for Mac v58.4.92, and every time I log in to my machine, I get a message from Dropbox asking me to turn on accessibility: Every time I tick 'Don't show this to me again' and then 'Not Now', but it comes back the next time I log in. What can I do to disable this message?Solved23KViews2likes14Comments
Linux - Unable to change Dropbox directory
I'm using Fedora Workstation 25 with GNOME. Trying to change the Dropbox directory results in the utterly useless message "Unexpected errors occurred. Your Dropbox is ok!". Steps to recreate problem: Dropbox directory is currently ~/Dropbox Start Dropbox application by running ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd Right click sys tray icon and select Preferences. Click "Move…" button under Account > Location Select directory /local on which my user has write permissions. The message "Unexpected errors occurred. Your Dropbox is ok!" appears. Observations: The directory /local/Dropbox is sucesfully created. One of the directories in ~/Dropbox is created in /local/Dropbox/ It's empty. Deleting that directory from ~/Dropbox before attempting the move doesn't help. Selecting other directories on which my user has write permissions results in the same behaviour. Permissions and ownership of my Dropbox directory and user's home directory are OK. (Troubleshooting advice for Linux at https://help.dropbox.com/desktop-web/move-dropbox-folder is pooly written. sudo is not needed on all those commands. "Internet menu" is not a thing in all (any?) desktop environments.) There's a log file in ~/.dropbox/logs/1 but it's a binary blob so useless without something to make it human readable and I can't locate such a thing. Deleting all my files from ~/Dropbox/ waiting for sync to complete and then attempting the move doesn't help. When attemping the move after deleting all my files from ~/Dropbox/ /local/Dropbox/.dropbox.cache/ is succesfully created. It's empty. Pausing syncing before attempting the move doesn't help. There don't seem to be any options that can be passed to ~/.dropbox-dist/dropboxd to get more info. (Adding --help prevents it running!)Solved18KViews0likes66Comments
iPhone app will not accept my login credentials
I am logged in to dropbox on both of my computers; I downloaded the Dropbox app from the App Store, and it will not accept those same credentials on my iPhone. Says logon andor password are incorrect. Everything I read says all information should be sharable across devices. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.Solved5.3KViews0likes5Commentshow to find dropbox account details from command line
