Dear Madam/Sir, I have a paid subscription of Dropbox and as a professional writer I use mainly Explorer and Microsoft Office with hundreds of different files and documents. I am orientated to the name of my files and documents, and therefore I don't want to see any other information, as it is very distracting and useless (for me) as well. Therefore, I choose in Explorer and Office for 'List View'. Since the latest Dropbox-update, however, a "status column" drops up and I cannot get rid of it. Please make it possible to disable this column or tell me where in the registry of Windows 10 I can change this setting permanently. Thank you very much in advance, Alfred van CleefSolved340Views2likes10CommentsA folder is visible online, but not inside my Dropbox folder locally on the device
I am seeking help. A folder that was visible in my windows explorer seems to have disappeared. I can still see the folder in the browser version, but not in my explorer (which I could 2 days ago.). I checked the availability offline. I chose the selection in my preferences and the folder is ticked. I unticked and reticked it. I deinstalled and reinstalled the app. according to the browser version, I have access to the folder. All hidden files are shown in my explorer. It is a mystery to me and I don't know how this folder just vanished from my windows explorer-desktop app view. I went through the trouble shoots mentioned. Any other idea? thank you.38Views0likes5CommentsHow can I restore a shared folder owned by a deleted Dropbox team account?
Hi! Dropbox deleted one folder. How can I restore it? I had received an email from Dropbox informing me that the folder was going to be deleted, but that email was in the Spam folder so I had no time to backup all the information of that folder. Now I need to restore all the information of this folder. Could you please help me?59Views0likes10CommentsRecent update of the desktop app not allowing me to see .clip thumbnails in File Explorer.
I use clip studio paint for work and I need to be able to see the thumbnails for the files to navigate them quickly. By default windows allows me to do this and it has been that way for years, as well as when looking at them in the file explorer for the program. Some big update went out for Dropbox recently, and how SPECIFICALLY in the dropbox folders I can no longer see my thumbnails. They are not online-only. I have triple checked. They are simply not showing. When I paste them onto my desktop, lo and behold they show again. This is entirely on the fault of the recent Dropbox update and I don't know how to fix it. It has disrupted my workflow and has be looking into new backup options when I've been using Dropbox for almost 15 years. Can someone please help?356Views2likes28CommentsEdited files in Dropbox are down to 5 or 6 KB. How can I restore them?
I have identified over 50,000 of my Dropbox files have been altered or changed from standard file size to 5-6KB. Restoring them 1 at a time is brutal. I've checked deleted and they are not there. The only method I can use is More... Version History Restore. Is there a better way to be able to restore mass or bulk? The files show as edited which is odd considering they've not been edited from original file size to 5-6KB. I've attempted to use filter by date range, still no luck in locating them. Only option I have is file by file manually.27Views0likes2CommentsHow can I open a folder directly in the Admin Console from the All files tab?
Please add a button to the standard Dropbox folder view on the website to open that folder in the admin console. It's annoying when you get sent a link to a folder that someone needs changes made in - such as permissions - and you have to open the admin console and navigate click-by-click to that location. Would be much more convenient if there was an option to open the folder you're looking at in the admin console instead.Solved65Views0likes3CommentsI have two Dropbox folders but only one syncs, and it looks empty.

I have only one Dropbox account 2. I have a Dropbox folder on my PC with many files/folders that used to sync to Dropbox on the web and do no longer 3. Several months ago, a new Dropbox folder appeared out of nowhere on my PC with no contents - this empty folder alone syncs to Dropbox on the web 4. I cannot move any files/folder from my original Dropbox folder to the new one (various error messages are generated) 5. I cannot merge the new Dropbox folder nor delete it - it is connected somehow to the original Dropbox folder 6.
