Re: Frustrations with Dropbox on a new MacBook Pro

2017-02-24 Thread Michael Busboom 
Hi Scott,

I have never heard of pCoud. Was that a typo in your message?  Does pCoud (or 
perhaps pCloud) allow you to buy a lot of storage space?  It’s just good to 
know that the problem apparently lies with Dropbox, and not necessarily with me.

Thanks for the tip and have a good one!

Mike

Re: Frustrations with Dropbox on a new MacBook Pro

2017-02-23 Thread Cara Quinn 
Hi ET,

Thanks for this.

When someone shares a folder with you, you first need to add that folder 
through the site before you can see it on your mac.

There is an ‘Add to DropBox’ link for shared folders that you are invited to 
through DB. In order for those to show up in Finder, you need to activate that 
link on the site for each folder.

There may be a way to do this through notifications in the Drop Box status menu 
as well but I am not sure of this at the moment so I don’t want to give false 
info.

I am currently setting up one of my DB accounts on a new iMac myself, so I will 
send more info on adding / synching folders through the DropBox status menu 
item when I know more.

I usually add folders through the site which is quite easy.

Of course, you can create folders in Finder (in your DropBox folder) which will 
then be added to the site but I believe that Mike is talking about not seeing 
folders on the Mac that are already in his DB account on the web. So if I am 
mistaken here, then perhaps he will chime in and set me straight. :)

Anyway, thanks and have a great day / evening!

Cheers!

Cara

Re: Frustrations with Dropbox on a new MacBook Pro

2017-02-23 Thread Michael Busboom 
Hi.

Yes, I am signed up to the same Dropbox account. Otherwise, it would not be 
possible to read some of my files that were just lying around in the root 
directory.

Thanks.

   Are you signed into the same Dropbox account on the new Mac?

I don’t know if anyone else is having problems with this, and perhaps I should 
be asking on a Dropbox forum as well, but here’s the problem I am having:

While using my 2009 MacBook, I manually created folders in Dropbox and manually 
copied individual files and folders from the MacBook   to Dropbox, where I have 
1TB of space.  When I installed Dropbox on my new MacBook Pro, I found that I 
could log onto Dropbox and that there were several individual files in my root 
folder.  However, none of the folders and subfolders were visible on the new

Can someone tell me how to go about accessing my Dropbox folders and the files 
contained within them on my new Mac?

Thanks in advance,

Mike
