W11 Dropbox sees My Nikons & USB once connected. Not Neo storage that's perfectly usable in Explorer
Application Affected
(Dropbox not uploading video)
Device
(Laptop_PC )
Operating System/Browser (if using the web)
(Windows 11.)
Dropbox App Version (if using the app)
(Last version) >> full Customer 2Tb
Question or Issue
Explorer sees all removable storage, also the Neo as G: once connected
Dropbox ignores only the NEO and its storage under G:
( no reason given )
What should I do to sync Neo's video with the other image media?
Auto-play is set to ask and sync via Dropbox

Thanks for the information. At this point in order for us to look into it further, could you try contacting the support team directly?
They should be able to provide some device-specific troubleshooting.

No explanation .. but it happened only once ... and didnt sync anything
Now there are >Two< DJI NEO connected ... visible as: G: H:
but still no sync from them
Nikon Z camera sync correctly ... Visible as: Z 30 - Z fAny news from your Devs ?

The only "workable" solution I've found, so far:
Laptop_PC >> W11 Explorer
* Connect Dji Neo T
* G: appears in navigation pane
* Open G:
* Enter DJI Folder
* Enter DISM Folder
> Select new Videos
Drag and paste into
://Dropbox/Camera Upload/DJI>That done, Dropbox makes them available to all the other devices

Take your time Alain Church - just let us know of any updates!

Update:
Discovered Dropbox doesn't Auto-update
>Previous version 236.4, actual updated 237.4
[direct update - not MS-Store]
Well suggested ... No... I had not yet done a Clean-Reinstall.
Note: **it seems a W11 issue**
I changed all the AutoPlay options from "Dropbox" to "Ask"
Explorer asks me for all the other supports, but nothing for Neo !!!!
AAaargh ... how to look for that???
I'll do a search, and then I'll keep you updated!

Thanks for the detailed updates, Alain Church.
The Dropbox transfer option is a way of sharing files with other Dropbox or non-Dropbox users and while I'm glad to see you've found a workaround for the time being, it's definitely not a fix, so let's see what we can find.
Can you tell us which exact version of the Dropbox app you're using?
Also, have you tried to uninstall the Dropbox app, restart the computer and then reinstall it, to see if that helps?

Update:
a) I opened G:
b) Right-clicked on DISM folder
>>Found Dropbox ICON >> WOW coudnt see that before
c) Choose "transfer Folder"
d) Choose TO "Camera Upload" under Dropbox folder
So it's a temporary way to get my video in the Cloud
and access them from the other _PC so I can Edit them
Received an Email confirming the transfer! - Alain Church2 months agoCollaborator | Level 8
About "These Steps" Link > already done
Sorry, my bad:
I did not mention that before #1, #2, #3 tests,
I checked both Auto-play AND Dropbox Sync settings.
Results: all settings are correct as expected.
No mention of NEO as a device, and that's OK...
....but even if all the settings are correct,
it doesn't seem to recognize ONLY Neo as a USB content space:
It never asked me.. "Do you want to Sync?" nor I see it as a "specific device" as all USB ...like SSD Keys... that are not mentioned anywhere but synced asap as they are plugged in.
(That's the reason I wrote this post. ) - Jay2 months ago

Could you try disconnecting the USB and then disable the camera upload feature in the desktop app, re-enable it using these steps, and try connecting your USB again?
- Alain Church2 months agoCollaborator | Level 8
Test actions already taken:
1) connect -reconnect Neo three times
2) Reboot Laptop_PC
3) Quit and restart Dropbox
Next to be done:
a) Check if a W11 update is eventually pausing
[should not be ... having rebooted]
b) Check Dropbox update eventually available
[and not automatically downloaded and applied]
