109 TopicsKey Command/Shortcut to "Copy Dropbox Link" from Mac Finder.
I copy download links all day from the Mac Finder. It would be great to assign a key command so that you can highlight a file in your Dropbox via Mac Finder, and press a key command to copy the link instead of right clicking.Solved16KViews41likes67CommentsAdobe not downloading online only files from projects
Hi All, after updating to MacOS 12.3 I have not been able to open project files (Premiere/After Effects) without errors of not finding files that are in dropbox as 'online only'. Prior to the Mac update all files would auto download to be on my machine locally. I know there's an issue with full support for OS 12.3... any updates or solutions folks have found? thanksSolved22KViews8likes102CommentsDropbox sync stalling on Big Sur
Dropbox has always worked well for me -- until I updated my (very new) iMac to macOS "Big Sur" (11.1) about a month ago. The issue in a nutshell is that Dropbox will upload changed files for a little bit after starting, then stall entirely, or slow to a creep. It's a little tricky to characterize, because it's not consistent. A few times I quit Dropbix and restarted it and (judging from the "Recent" activity listing in the menubar dropdown) a few files would quickly upload, but then would stall and nothing else would upload, or a few items at random. The little wheel at the bottom of that dropdpwn is turning and says "Syncing XXX files", but nothing seems to happen, and the number of files just keeps going up ... and down ... and up ... it's very difficult to tell what's actually happening or what Dropbx is doing because there doesn't appear to be a sync log I can access. I've tried quitting and deleting the Dropbox app and re-installing. A couple of times when I've done that there would be a burst of upload activity, but then it would stall again, but I can't even get that to happen consistently. Of course Iv'e tried the usual things like restarting and so forth. Another reason it's difficult to in down is that the behavior is so erratic. In one instance a file I put in a particualr Dropbox folder uploaded right away. But in that same folder are things I added WEEKS ago now that have yet to sync. If there's a pattern or characteristic common to things that are not uploading, or when or why Dropbox stalls, or how to kick-start those bursts of uploadeds, I can't identify it. (No clues in "View sync issues". Just a few Outlook emoji that won't upload because they have an emoji in the file name.) I'm feeling stytmied. Suggestions as to things to try welcome, or tools to help figure out what Dropbox is doing or trying to do to help narrow down the issue. (I have about 1.6 TB worth of stuff in Dropbox, though, so solutions that involve re-uploading everything from scratch will not be particularly welcome.) I've Googled around and not been able to identify others with similar issues. Thanks.Solved8.5KViews4likes47CommentsMac osx - strange extra files appearing when downloading files directly.
Just had a strange issue with some files that I directly downloaded from our DB folders. On the website, I went to one of my shared folders from another team member, and clicked on 2 files (illustrator) and one folder that contained several photoshop images. I chose to direct download option and downloaded them to my desktop. They downloaded to the zip file, like usual. BUT... when I uncompressed the zip file, there was an ADDITIONAL folder named "__MACOSX" - when I opened that, there was a repeat of the same Illustrator files and the PSD folder, but the file names were changed (most had underscores in them). In addition, these files were very small in size (70 bytes for example, when they should have been 3.3MB - same thing for the PSD images they were all around 100kb or less, when they should have been several MB). I asked my co-worker to repeat the process on his computer (different OS that what I'm using, but still on a mac) and he had the same thing happen. Any idea's what's happening? Is this just a glitch? I'm on an imac, running OS 10.11.614KViews4likes71CommentsCamera Upload thumbnail not showing on mac
I use Smart Sync I'm on a Macbook Air Ventura13.5.2 I know SmartSync doesn't download the files to your laptop but I'm pretty sureI used to get low-res thumbnails of the images in my Camera Upload folder Since updating to the newest OS that seems to not work anymore and I just see the generic icons now. If I "make it available offline" then it downloads the image and the thumbnail works but I'd love to have a low-res thumbnail so I can tell if I should download it or not.Solved6.7KViews2likes42CommentsBackup EVERYTHING to external hard drive on Mac
I have a professional account with about 2TB of data that includes folders on my iMac and online-only folders as well. I want to backup ALL of this information to an external hard drive and need some help/advice please. Clearly, DB does not include a feature to do this (which is completely unsatisfactory). Additionally, now that Apple has restricted the location of my Dropbox folder, I cannot use an external drive as the primary location which would enable me to have a copy of everything locally. Who has solved this problem and would you kindly share your solution. I do not want to leave Dropbox after nearly ten years but this is a deal-breaker for me. Thanks!1.7KViews2likes3CommentsDefault downloads folder on MAC went missing after uninstalling dropbox on my MacBook
When I installed dropbox on my MacBook few days ago, I synced my downloads folder on my dropbox. After a day I decided to uninstall the dropbox because I just realized I have an iCloud storage. So when I actually uninstalled dropbox, then boom the downloads folder went missing, I cannot access it anymore, anything I airdrop to my MacBook cannot be found. I had a chat with apple support, they told me I should message dropbox support for the matter. Please help me....2.4KViews2likes3CommentsRed number in dropbox icon (NO notifications)
I have had a 1 in a red circle on my Dropbox icon (MacOS Catalina, DB 107.4.443) for at least a week now. I have no Notifications (the notifications tab in the dropdown from that icon says "All quiet". I've tried restarting Dropbox, to no effect. What next?4.7KViews2likes13CommentsDropbox missing from locations in mac finder sidebar
Since upgrading and having Dropbox move the dropbox folder to locations in my finder, it periodically disappears. I have quit, restarted and have it re-appear again, but it's gone again. I can quit dropbox again, and restart again, but I hope there is a better solution than doing this every few days. Everything else is working -- but saving files has become a pain because I can't choose the dropbox folder in the sidebar.1.8KViews1like8CommentsThumbnails not showing for online-only
As a new user to Dropbox, I've uploaded all photos from my Mac (Sonoma 14.4) using Dropbox 194.4.6267 and set the files to online-only. None of the thumbnails show on my Mac and this is a non-starter for me in using Dropbox. I've reindexed via Spotlight all of my files on my mac, and I've toggled online and offline only settings and still no thumbnails are showing. Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated before moving to Google One.Solved632Views1like5Comments
