Dropbox Download //TOP\\ Windows 11
Terina Altmark
My employer uses dropbox as a shared drive, and has done so successfully for several years. However I've just started, and have run into an issue where many files are not openable via the windows file explorer folder.
When you did the install in 1P 8 prompted you to migrate the dropbox (local) items items out. if you said no, then you can do them afterwards as you want.
1 method i found: use ipad, but thats one-by-one by chosing the option to move each item to a new vault. use move, not copy.
At the end, of this i destroyed my dropbox files and the dropbox deleted items to make sure that they were gone off dropbox. i dont want them hanging around there. also deleted by local backups. I am relying on 1pwd to do the backups, except for 1new local encrypted backup set i keep
Im enjoying the new 1p 8 after 5 years on dropbox/local etc. But i didnt store my master password in 1Pwd for autofill. (no logical reason, but i feel better, since i had 5 years of local/dropbox data.
I would like to report Windows 10 display scaling issues with the Dropbox desktop app. At a windows display scaling value of 150% it is not possible to sign-in to the dektop client app, and it is not not possible to access the taskbar icon context menu via right clicking with mouse.
Dropbox, please forward onto your QA that this is unreasonable for this issue to still be present in the latest versions of dropbox. Why are we still dealing with something as basic as proper DPI scaling? Figure. It. Out. Please. Have a failsafe dpi that allows the user to at least do what they need to do while a real fix is developed.
I'm a Dropbox user on Windows 10, with automatic updates enabled.I've got some portable software installed in a folder in my Dropbox. When I hit my Windows key and start typing, for example "winscp.exe" (a portable program in my dropbox), no results come up. If I click on "search", just below my keyword, after a while only an .ini file with a mention of WinSCP pops up.
I got no idea why you need to sync the file server to dropbox ? Have you tested what if you have a PC to dropbox sync and all the "working files" in the PC that is supposed to be sync gets deleted or corrupted ?
Sounds fairly crazy, as its designed to run from a desktop I'd probably make my first port of call an option to open up access to dropbox, a bit of monitoring in your firewall logs should help work out the best rules, then apply those to group 2 and install it locally as intended, if that really isn't an option then my next thought was based on linux inotify, i've never tested this link but maybe have a play and see if it helps: -to-monitor-a-folder-and-trigger-a-command-line-action-whe...

So for that I'd setup dropbox on a supported machine and give it access to the SMB share, then use something like that to monitor the dropbox folders for changes and another script to monitor the SMB share for changes and then trigger copies back and forth. The trouble with smb sharing dropbox from a workstation is Windows clients run out of connections quite quickly, so you'd be rebooting, servers don't have this artificial limit. Obviously if you are going to monitor for changes and copy them back and forth, you'll need some way of handling conflicts, which is likely why Dropbox doesn't want to run on a server without a user monitoring the app and responding to conflicts themselves.
Sounds like you should just move to a different product. I see people using dropbox all the time who could just as easily accomplish all the same tasks with OneDrive/Sharepoint(/Google Drive) yet they're paying for Dropbox in addition to their other subscription. If it's not supported, doing some kind of elaborate gymnastics to make it work is just asking for trouble.
The issue exists on a newly setup workstation on which I try to restore my data from a Dropbox account, but which fails with the very same error as in: -error-while-restoring-data-from-dropbox/&do=findComment&comment=37908
I have a Windows 2003 server box with dropbox installed. Every once in a while, it pops up a dialog window asking for permission to update itself. Everytime it asks for permission, it renders the network adapter unuseable and I need to reboot the server.
Here is my issue. OS X creates a bunch of files in Dropbox ending in com.dropbox.attributes. There is at least one of these almost for every file in Dropbox. From OS X these do not sync to the Dropbox server and are hidden. However, in Windows they are visible and sync to the Dropbox server.
Update:
I appreciate the input, Rich. After looking here more closely, I can see how it is pretty much a lost cause without Dropbox's fix for it. By my post I was curious if hiding or making them marked as "system files" would make a difference or to see if there were other ideas. I had tested the possibility of running a bat file on startup that did the following (hide and mark them as a "system file"):
attrib +S +H *.dropbox.attributes /S
I learned quickly that the issue is that Dropbox in conjunction with Windows 7 actually creates the com.dropbox.attributes files and that it is not OS X that creates the files. The extended attributes of OS X cause Windows to create them. So, they get created anew every time Dropbox runs in Windows. I will plan to file a bug report.
If your system has been taken over an attacker could manipulate the install dates of any software, so anything you see on a hacked system must be treated with doubt. The IP address you listed is a valid dropbox IP, however that means nothing - if I was writing malware I'd seriously consider using dropbox to distribute it. It's robust, completely free, and people are likely to discount it as a threat vector: "Oh that's just dropbox, don't worry about it."
So it is entirely possible that the malware installed uses a dropbox labelled process to actually connect to dropbox and download latest versions of malware and operating instructions, although that scenario is not particularly likely. It is much more likely that this is actually a completely legitimate dropbox installation that you don't remember installing, and therefore a red herring. Unfortunately, there's no way to know for sure as once a system is hacked you can never trust it again. Your best bet is to wipe your system and start over.
