You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
''Sorry, something went wrong" error when trying to open Excel file in Dropbox on Android tablet
suddenly I can't open it with error, ''Sorry, something went wrong". Internet connection is fine, dropbox and excel apps has latest version. Sometimes I can open the files but many times failed it. Why? what should I do? My device is android tablet, I bought it in 2023.
Automatically sync all files to an explorable folder on Android?
It would be immensely helpful to me to be able to automatically download every file to a folder on my Android phone when it syncs with my Dropbox account, the same way it does on my Windows PC. I can't seem to be able to find a way to do this automatically the way it works on desktop, and it's very frustrating. I'm not sure if it matters, but I'm using the free version of Dropbox. If this is a feature supported by a higher tier, I'll happily upgrade.
Can't download large files to my Android phone using the Dropbox app
So I can upload photos, and download on my cell phone Using the drop box app. A file that is 6 gig that I want to download to my phone using the drop box app wont even try! I have to log onto the Dropbox website login and download using the web based Google app. Drop box app is broken or am I missing something? Drop box hates large files and won't let me download but small files are fine....
Make folder available to other apps on Android?
I'd like to use Dropbox to sync Obsidian markdown files on my Android phone and tablet (since the official Obsidian sync corrupts my files). How can I do that? I tried doing "Make available offline" but that didn't make the folder available to other apps, only within the Dropbox app. I tried DropSync but that only syncs once every hour, which is not often enough for using Obsidian. Thanks!
I get a "permanent failure" error when trying to access a database on my mobile device.
Hope someone can assist... I need to open a file to access the newest database but when I attempt to, I get a permanent failure. I have cleared the cache, cleared memory, uninstalled the app from my mobile device, (Pixel), reinstalled and I still receive the error message. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
