You only have to select two items to sync, instead of having to select all the files or folders. Dropbox has its own web application that makes it easier to access dropbox folders. The dropbox web application is very user friendly and is easy to access by any web browser.
Dropbox can synchronize your folders to your own computer and the internet. To sync your dropbox folder to your computer, you will need to download and install Dropbox software. Once you have the software installed, you will be able to access the dropbox website application via the Dropbox website. The Dropbox website is simple and is easy to navigate. You can also view and create your public and private dropbox folders online.
This is similar to the way Google drive and other online backup software works. It is also easy to access your dropbox website from the net. There are many websites that offer online storage at affordable rates.

Do you use the web interface only or did you install Dropbox's Desktop Client on your computer to upload your files? If you installed their Desktop Client then your original files should still be in your Dropbox Folder which is located on your hard drive. I did try other browsers and got the same error message and I use the web interface as opposed to the desktop client.
However, the issue seems to have resolved itself as everything is working fine again as if nothing happened. I just wonder what happened and how to avoid it in the future? I wonder if it may have just been an issue with dropbox. Even if you use the web interface the files came from your computer so the original files should still be on your hard drive.
Hard to say for sure, I wasn't having any problems previewing my files through the web interface when you were. Some of the issues can be caused by our browsers Dropbox was working fine since the beginning of time for me in terms of pictures having a thumbnail preview option when scrolling through folders. Now, all of a sudden and with my team members experiencing the same issue , SOME, not all, pictures are not able to be previewed.
Instead, they say, "This file can't be previewed. One file that does have a preview can have the same kind of file name and same file extension as another file that doesn't have a preview. I have tried using Chrome our main browser , safari, firefox, and Maxthon; all with same results. I have also tried using Chrome in "Incognito" mode. All to no avail. Most of the pictures do have previews. Some do not. Yes, this problem is infuriating.
The quality of the service has clearly dropped over the period of months that I've used dropbox. I used to be able to preview videos on it, but now it's not possible at all. If things don't change, it may be time to start looking elsewhere, because paying for service which degrades isn't very good. Thanks, we'll check that out. We are using TIFF files I have the exact same issue as Jinggo Hey Joe86 , thanks for nudging us here - I'd be more than happy to help!
As a first step though, could you please clarify for me exactly what you're seeing? Are you having trouble with the thumbnails or are you also seeing grey X's?
Like Jinggo78, most of my files arn't showing any thumbnails. These files are also not able to be searched by Windows Explorer, it seems to ignore them completely. Problem is i have GB of files I want to have local so i'd prefer another solution that doesn't require downloading them all again if possible? Thanks for the detailed post, Joe86 - it's as good as a screenshot!
For the thumbnails, try opening them with a different third party app than the one you usually open them in - maybe that will do the trick. The way we work is changing.
