Dropbox authentication

Post by joshua bernstein »

I use Dropbox to store my documents and sync across computers and platforms. Lately, when I try to open any file stored on my computer in the Dropbox folder, I am always asked to authenticate my Dropbox account username and password. It is annoying to have to do that each time, and it's not something I have to do when using any other program. Am I missing a way to make PDF-Exchange Editor or Dropbox understand that I have already authenticated my account multiple times?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Hello Joshua,
The Editor should remember your Dropbox credentials and save then for reuse in the File > Open Screen, as below:

The first time, you will use the Add a Place > Dropbox button
After you have signed in, a new Dropbox button will appear under Open, with the name on your Dropbox account as the title (mine is highlighted in the above screenshot).

If you find this is still happening, please click File > Reset settings, and reset everything, then try to setup your Dropbox account once again. This may help.
