Re: Dropbox syncing issues

2023-03-09 Thread Phil Halton
Hi Herbie, I tried just about everything, including what you suggested, and no 
joy. On a bright note, though I just whacked dropbox after having been with 
them for almost 20 years and boy, did it feel good! They wanted 10 bucks a 
month for nothing and I can get the same storage for $.99 a month on iCloud. I 
just cut my losses and wrote those evidently corrupted files off. I’ve saved 
everything I need from Dropbox and you know, when you go through and do some 
housecleaning, you find out exactly how much you don’t need anymore.

Re: Dropbox syncing issues

2023-03-09 Thread Herbie Allen
I have not had this issue, but I wonder if the folder fully downloaded? Do you 
keep the app running on the Mac? Also, what happens if you access the folder by 
going to the Dropbox app in the Apps folder?

Dropbox syncing issues

2023-03-09 Thread Phil Halton
OK, I re-synced several folders from dropbox.com back down onto my max hard 
drive. I am able to access the contents of these files if I use the dropbox iOS 
app, but if I use the max file browser and try to open them, I can’t get them 
to open. I have tried opening them with a different apps, etc., but I keep 
getting incompatibility messages and the lake. Anybody else ever experienced 
this? I know I have had this problem in the past and forgot what my fix was.
