Need to see if your shared folder is taking up space on your dropbox 👨💻? Find out how to check here.
It would be extremely helpful to have the ability to download a PDF (or image, or other file types) with comments included. Alternatively, could there be a way save out just the comments as it's own downloadable format? If a file is changed, the comments disappear into the ether.
This would help streamline our workflow and help keep track of changes/comments/conversations. Currently we screenshot every page with comments to keep track of edits.
Thank you

Hi Joy E. R.,
Thank you for the feedback, I completely understand your frustration.
I would just point out that what you're suggesting is actually separate functionality and your best bet would be to submit an idea of your own outlining exactly this! As soon as you do, I'll pop a vote on it myself!
This is barely helpful. We need a way to download all the comments in a folder as a .csv. I have over 100 images, each with a comment from the client on it. It is neither helpful nor time saving for me to download a text file one by one.

Hi raymaychay
I just wanted to let you know that this functionality has been added. Under the comments pane --> under the overflow menu, you can receive a .txt file of the comments!

Thank you for your suggestion, and if you have another idea to share, please do!
I only use Dropbox for transmitting large files because of this limitation. As an editing device it's basically unusable. I had hoped things had changed from 5 years ago when this shortcoming came to my attention but it hasn't.
Another vote for this idea. My clients add comments which are then 'trapped' on dropbox, no way to get them out. We need to be able to export comments, ideally both as a separate file AND embedded in the PDF like regular PDF comments. The latter is important for then merging with other PDF comments into a master file.
I would like to be able to download the comments made on a video file as a .pdf or .doc
Sometimes we need to share commented docs outside of our organisation with folks that do not use Dropbox (or any cloudservices at all) an export function of the comments would be very helpful in those cases. It would probably also increase the likelihood of people inside our organisation agreeing to use this function rather than the commenting functions that Office, Acrobat, etc have build into their software.
