Download Dropbox Windows Desktop

After you install the Dropbox desktop app on your computer, you can access Dropbox from the icon in your taskbar (Windows) or menu bar (Mac) or the Dropbox folder in File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac).

Keychain is a password management system for Mac. Dropbox requires access to your Keychain to help verify your account and to provide another layer of security over the Dropbox desktop app preferences.

Dropbox Web Helper supports the Dropbox user interface on Mac computers. It only runs when the desktop app is running.

Dropbox Web Helper is an independent process, so it may start and stop at different times than the desktop app. If you adjust your firewall or antivirus software for Dropbox, we recommend similar adjustments for Dropbox Web Helper.

With the Dropbox desktop app, you can save, view, share, and access the files and folders stored in your Dropbox account from your computer. When you download and install the Dropbox desktop app, two things are added to your computer:

If you want to manually update to the latest stable version of Dropbox, you can get it from our download page or our install page (for Linux users). Otherwise, the Dropbox desktop app will update automatically.

This setting opens the Dropbox desktop app automatically whenever you start your computer. Your Dropbox desktop app must be open to sync changes between the Dropbox files on your computer and everywhere else you access your files in Dropbox.

This setting lets you enable LAN sync in your Dropbox desktop app preferences. If your computer is connected to a LAN, enabling this setting in the Dropbox desktop app will override your bandwidth settings and may speed up syncing for files stored on your LAN.

Selective sync is a feature in the Dropbox desktop app that allows you remove specific Dropbox folders from your hard drive so you can save space on your computer. Learn more about the selective sync feature.

Both my laptop and desktop used the same type of "app" that launched on startup, asked me to input a 6 digit PIN and kept active for 12 hours or as long as I used it. I could see a full list of all sites that I'd set up for passwords and I lived the way I could just search for the site, click on the "Open Website" icon and be taken direct to the login screen with all the id and password information populated and ready for me to login.

I made the mistake of uninstalling it on my desktop and it would appear that you are now being pushed to use a Chrome based extension which doesn't seem to work. Besides which, I cannot see a list of my sites that I've registered for. To me this is a huge loss.

Update/Edit - I installed the Chrome extension on the laptop and it seems to be working okay now. What I am looking for help on is where/how can I get the desktop app for the laptop as I can't see anywhere obvious to download this from

YES. I am going through this right now. It's successfully installed on my desktop and has been for some time. Now I need to use a laptop on a trip and cannot install anything other than an extension for Chrome. No!! This isn't what I want at all. I love the app that I can open on my computer to look up accounts.

I have two accounts, and have recently transferred most of my files from one to another where I have more storage. Unfortunately, that is not the account that exists in my desktop app, and thus my files aren't syncing properly. As a precaution, I copied all my current files to a separate desktop folder, but I don't want to work on any of them until I get the sync linked to the correct account. So far, I have tried logging out of my old account and reinstalling the desktop app. The old account had a temporary larger storage space, but that has expired.

Press the Windows key and R and then cmd in the box to open the command prompt. Type cd.. and enter.Repeat until you get to C:\Type cd\users(yourname)\desktop (or whatever the location of your desktop is).Type dirThis will list the files and folders on your desktop.If you can see the name of the folder typermdir dropbox (or whatever the folder is called)

Curious if anyone has experience working with a scrivener file saved on dropbox between a PC and a Mac? Is it seamless? Do files open and save normally regardless of the OS they were saved on last? I work primarily on a desktop PC but I need a laptop and it seems like a mac laptop is my best bet, but want to be sure there won't be an issue working between these two devices via dropbox.

I have used Joplin for over a year. I have it running on my desktop. I have been synchronising my desktop app notebook with my android device using dropbox successfully. I have now changed my phone and loaded the Joplin app on my new phone. I cannot work out how to set up the desktop notebook sync with my new phone. Can you help? It's frustrating because I obviously got it to work with my previous phone - but cannot seem to repeat it. Thanks.

As an aside I figure I originally got my concepts mixed up. I originally thought you had to set up the each notebook to sync, but once I'd enabled the connection between dropbox and the device it sync'd all the notebooks that were sync enabled. Lesson learnt.

Every app I have used (Scrivener springs to mind) stores its data inside the Dropbox folder, saves locally to the Dropbox folder, and lets Dropbox do the syncing. I tried to delete the local files in .config/joplin-desktop/resources at one stage "to save space", thinking I didn't need them once I had the files in Dropbox. I realised later, when I had found the thread containing Laurent's reply, that I had made exactly the wrong choice. I should have deleted the 3.18GB files in the Dropbox folder and left the ones in .config/joplin-desktop/resources where they were.

Whilst it may not be what you have previously encountered, there's nothing non-standard about the way Joplin connects. It connects and syncs directly with Dropbox just as many apps do, especially mobile. This is how Dropbox's own mobile app connects to a Dropbox account. You connect to a Dropbox page via an app and authorise the app to link. That is why there is an entire settings page in Dropbox dedicated to "Connected Apps". Using this method does not require the installation of the Dropbox client on a desktop PC. It also therefore enables the use of a "portable version" which cannot be done if the user is relying on the presence of not only a Dropbox client on the computer they are using, but also one that is logged into their own Dropbox account.

As mobile devices only connect in this manner the desktop also has to connect in this manner so that all are accessing the same data on Dropbox the same way. Sure you could set up a Joplin file system folder sync to a folder in your computer's Dropbox sync folder but the Joplin mobile app would not be able to access it. Then you would have Joplin (Client1) syncing to the Dropbox folder on Client1, then Dropbox Client1 syncing to Dropbox, Dropbox syncing to the Dropbox sync folder on Client 2 and finally Joplin Client2 syncing with the Dropbox Client2 sync folder. Joplin uses: Joplin Client1 to Dropbox, Dropbox to Joplin client2.

And if someone was to put the whole joplin-desktop folder into the Dropbox sync folder there would be a world of pain as Dropbox then syncs not only the resources but also the Joplin database itself which will (and should) be in different states on different devices.

I did find it unexpected though, in that most Windows desktop apps use Dropbox as "just another folder". The main result of my misplaced expectations is the one I posted about: I ended up with a folder for Joplin in the Users folder of 3.84GB and a(n unnecessary) folder of 3.18GB in Dropbox/Apps/Joplin. I reset the folder in Dropbox to not sync (using selective sync) which will save me both bandwidth, disk space and unnecessary syncing activity.

"On the desktop Joplin syncs directly with the Dropbox servers, and does not require the installation of the Dropbox client. If you have the Dropbox client installed you should set the Dropbox/Apps/Joplin folder to not sync locally, using Selective Sync. This will avoid unnecessarily storing and syncing duplicate data."

Thanks. I have indeed done just that, and I am currently waiting to see if Dropbox will automatically remove the folder from the desktop client, now it is no longer set to sync, or whether I will need to do that manually.

Thanks John for the explanation.

The rhl file is well copied from one computer to another via dropbox, but it is therefore possible that the second computer does not take the file correctly into account if I understand correctly.

Well, indeed it is gtk2 based. But the set up window in the desktop application does not adhere to theme and font settings in gtk2, which I use. I thought I made it clear that I was not talking about the Dropbox web site. (That does not come from the AUR, does it? (irony))

Further findings; the settings accessible by right clicking the dropbox tray icon does follow gtk theme and font settings. It is the initial set up that does not, and that is crucial to the account and linking of the computer. Nothing works in Dropbox without the initial account linking from your computer in the desktop linux application. (just to be clear that the web site has nothing to do with this computer set up)

I switch between machines and OSes frequently. I found it easier to use docker to bring up sites, work on them, save them and bring them down with files saved and synced in dropbox. Its as easy as docker-compose up. ff782bc1db
