H1B Dropbox Stamping Not Approved Situation I don't use Dropbox to backup my computer, so I wish it was possible to disable the whole Backup section directly within Dropbox settings.8. I have set it to "Take no action" on my computer. It can't be set within Dropbox itself, but there is a link within the Dropbox settings to bring up the right page for Windows system settings. It kept coming up for all the memory cards I kept inserting in the card reader. One way to get away from this annoying prompt is to disable AutoPlay for memory cards in Windows system settings, or to set it to something else, some other app, something other than Dropbox. Then I noticed a new file popped up in the folder on the memory card, with current date and time stamp, and it was named ".vice". I selected "Never for this device" and deselected "include videos" checkbox. I was transferring some photos from a memory card of my DSLR camera to my computer when I got this prompt from Dropbox on Windows, asking me if I would like to import these photos to Dropbox, with the additional option to "include videos for all devices" (a permanent setting hidden within the dialog box for a one-off and device specific event, sneaky!). I found evidence earlier today that supports the idea that it's the automatic upload feature of Dropbox that keeps adding these files.
I don't need to tell you that this is done so by design. You don't just drop a bunch of cryptic binary files on someone's desktop and pretend like it's an honest mistake made by your app. It needs to be documented somewhere instead of playing the guessing game like we do. Regardless of how someone uses Dropbox, or the number and type of devices they use Dropbox on, these hidden files should have an explanation of what they are and what they are used for. (I have even stopped using Dropbox altogether on my mobile devices some time ago, when the number of devices that are allowed to sync on the Free plan was crimped to three devices or so.) For one, I have never used this internal hard drive in an external context (USB hard drive enclosure), and I don't allow the Dropbox app on my mobile device to upload the photos I take. I can't make much sense of this (these?) argument(s). It is suggested that this type of file is generated by Dropbox when inserting a USB flash drive into a computer with Dropbox installed on it, and the solution is to disable camera uploads so that the Dropbox app on a mobile device cannot upload pictures to Dropbox. Solved: vice getting installed on my USB - Dropbox Community Given all previous user accounts of this file, I know it is created by Dropbox. vice on a disk partition of one of my internal hard drives.Ĭan someone please demystify this file for me? I would like to know exactly what this is and what it's used for.
