Live stream link capability and copyright payment to holder
Not sure how this all works but what, since no one discussed it, it is now dead? How are people supposed to know about it? You are missing a good opportunity to retire rich here!! Doesn't anyone understand the implications of a successful plan to do what my idea described. A Live Stream Link onto drop box that viewers could watch a live production. AND, have a payment plan that we could sell the stream to viewers. DropBox through a payment plan could also then pay the copyright fees to the music license holder so we no longer get flags and muted for having live music on our production!
Dropbox Desktop vs CloudMounter, Cyberduck, Mountain Duck for Multiple Accounts - which is better?
Hey, I just joined the Dropbox Forum and need some advice from experienced users. I really hope someone has some tips. I’ve got two Dropbox accounts (personal + work) and I’m thinking whether to stick with the native Dropbox client or switch to a cloud manager, since I might add Google Drive later. I want everything to show up like normal folders in Finder/Explorer, avoid syncing the entire cloud to my disk, survive sleep/reconnects, and not lose share permissions when moving files between accounts. If you’ve done this, is it smarter to keep the Dropbox app if you only use Dropbox, or go with a manager from the start? Curious about real-world differences in speed, caching, stability and security — short tips or quick examples would be much appreciated.Tell Us How You Use Dropbox

Dropbox notified me that my photos may get deleted, even though I've storage space left.
Good morning everyone, I hope you’re all doing well. I’m not exactly sure how to describe my situation, so I appreciate your patience and understanding. I started using Dropbox a while back because my Apple storage was running low, and I couldn’t afford Apple One anymore t. My wife passed away in March, and since then, life hasn’t been the same. I’ve uploaded all of our photos and memories to Dropbox — they’re incredibly special to me. Looking through them every day brings both pain and peace, as it helps me feel close to her. Recently, I’ve been getting notifications warning that my photos might be deleted, even though my account settings show I still have available space. I’m really worried about losing these memories — they mean more to me than anything. Along with our dog Bailey, who she got just a month before she passed, these photos and videos are what I have left of her. I’m not sharing this for sympathy, but to express how important this is and to hopefully get some help understanding what’s going on or how to fix it. Thank you all for taking the time to read this and for being part of a community that helps others. Wishing everyone a good day.
Really appreciate the new Sync and Storage Dashboard
Before I saw the announcement, I stumbled upon the Sync & Storage Dashboard while reviewing some updates in my Dropbox on my laptop. I like the clear visibility into the current storage on my device, as well as tips on improving storage and managing which files/folders are using storage, etc.
How do you organize design files for a creative project?
Hey everyone! I’ve been working on a creative project inspired by the 7 Brew Menu and I’m using Dropbox to organize all my design assets, mockups, and images. I’m curious how other designers or marketers keep their Dropbox folders structured when working on something like a café or restaurant menu. I want to keep things neat but also easy to share with my client and teammates. Any suggestions or examples of folder setups that work well for you?Open Feedback to Dropbox
Dropbox has the potential to make a huge leap forward not by inventing something radically new, but by strengthening and bundling the tools it already has. Here’s what could truly make the difference for many professionals and businesses: Reintroduce and expand Dropbox Capture. Today, video and screen recording is a daily need for teams, customer support, and remote collaboration. This tool should not disappear, it should be stronger. Enhance and integrate e-signature features. Make them more seamless, reliable, and part of the core Dropbox experience. For the Italian market, enabling authentication with the CIE (Electronic Identity Card) would make the application a must-have and extremely interesting. Boost DocSend, review its interface and make it more user-friendly. The tool is powerful, but its full potential emerges only when it’s intuitive to use and included in an accessible bundle. Significantly increase file sync capacity. Many users complain about the ~500,000 files (or performance decline oltre i ~300.000 file sincronizzati sul computer) limit in Dropbox’s desktop app The winning move would be to create a unified, accessible bundle that combines these tools at a fair price. This would bring clear, tangible value to users and set Dropbox apart from competitors in a meaningful way. Sometimes innovation is not about the next big thing. It’s about making what you already have indispensable.Exciting news — we’ve launched the new Sync & Storage Dashboard in the Dropbox desktop app!

So somebody just asked you to collab on a track and you’re wondering how to actually share your project files 🤔 . Integrating Dropbox into your Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) is a simple way to back-up, sync, and share your music sessions no matter which programme you use ✨. Here’s a quick guide to get you started: How to Set It Up: Ableton Live Go to Preferences > File/Folder, and set your default project location to a folder inside your Dropbox folder. Or, when saving your project, just choose a folder in Dropbox manually. Make sure to collect all and save (File > Collect All and Save) so your samples and files stay together. Logic Pro When you create a new project, save it directly into your Dropbox folder. Use “File > Consolidate Project” if needed to make sure all assets are included. To share, just send your collaborator the Dropbox link or invite them to the folder. FL Studio Save your project file (.flp) and all samples/audio into a new folder in your Dropbox. Use File > Export Project Data Files to collect everything. Share that whole folder from Dropbox with your collaborator. Pro Tools Save your session into Dropbox or move the whole session folder there. Use “Save Copy In…” if you want to make a clean version with all media files included. Share the session folder through Dropbox just like any other file. 🎶 Now that your studio vibes are leveled up, you can effortlessly bounce between sessions (see what I did there 😉) and share stems with a collaborator from anywhere in the world 🌍. With Dropbox in your set up, you’re able to stay in the zone without any file chaos or version mix-ups. So, what DAW are you using these days? 🎛️ Working on anything exciting?
