Create, upload, and share
Find help to solve issues with creating, uploading, and sharing files and folders in Dropbox. Get support and advice from the Dropbox Community.
When I tap the UPLOAD button on my DropBox app on Samsung Galaxy phone I get SELECT PICTURES TO UPLOAD.
I don't want to upload pictures. I need to upload documents (.txt, .pdf, etc.)
(I can't believe nobody at Dropbox has thought of this! I mean, really?!)
Dear Walter,
Thank you, though for the convenience of subscribers finding the same problem, I would modify your advice as follows:
Do not tap the UPLOAD button. It only uploads photos. Tap the floating plus and then tap CREATE OR UPLOAD FILES.
Hey @Josty, thanks for posting on our Community and happy Monday!
There should be an option to upload text and other files if you scroll a bit further down on your screen when tapping the (+) button to upload your files.
Let me know if this helps!
