You can also tame Dropbox so that you see the Dropbox app less often. Your Dropbox folder still shows up in your file system, meaning you can manage your files using only your preferred file browser if you want to. But I like the native file browser on my computer, and I'd like to use it to manage my Dropbox files. It's a small complaint, and to be fair, some people might prefer this-the Dropbox app has all kinds of cool collaboration features, like comments and file previews. Now it shows me the folder in the Dropbox app, which can be disorienting. Previously, when I clicked a Dropbox notification, it would show me the folder in my computer's file browser-Explorer on PC or Finder on the Mac. Lately, however, it feels like Dropbox wants more of my attention. I love it for exactly this reason: I don't have to think about it. Operating system Ubuntu 14.Dropbox is great on computers because it syncs your files and stays out of your way.Click the Dropbox icon in your system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac). And you can transfer and download files from using most modern browsers. Apps are also available for iOS, Android, and Windows mobile devices. The Dropbox desktop app runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems. You can also upload and access all your backed up photos to your mobile device using the Dropbox mobile app. For Windows and Mac sync, you can just install the Dropbox desktop app, and all your photos will appear in folders you can access from Windows File Explorer and macOS Finder on your desktop. However, dropbox is now syncing sporadically or not at all, and I have to restart dropbox to get it to update any new files and then when it does it starts syncing 3-4 possibly phantom files and indicates it.

I have turned on smart sync for mac as OSX wasn't recognising online only files as not being on the hard drive.
