Editing PDFs on Dropbox on Android corrupts the PDF
Device TCL NxtPaper 14 Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Android 14 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 454.2.2 Syncing Status Up To Date Question or Issue I am using Dropbox on my TCL NxtPaper 14, along with the app Nutrient PDF Viewer Pro to edit and annotate PDFs on Dropbox. Whenever I use the app, it corrupts the PDF on Dropbox. Editing PDFs on other cloud services with the same app does not give me any issues.
How can I force the mobile app to upload photos on Android?
Device Google Pixel 8 Operating System/Browser (if using the web) macOS 15.6 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 454.2.2 Syncing Status Up to date Question or Issue I am re-using the same question title as a question I found from seven years ago. I am experiencing the same issue as the original poster. I take a photo on my phone, and it does not immediately sync to Dropbox. I am on wifi on my phone, and I don't have any settings limiting upload to certain battery percentages. On my computer it says "Your files are up to date." I can open the app on my phone, navigate to the Camera Uploads folder and pull down to "force a refresh" but it does nothing. Going to the Photos tab at the bottom is even more useless, because you can't pull to refresh. I have to wait hours or days for it to decide to sync, which is frustrating when I want the photo on my computer immediately. I don't have any other apps that sync files or photos from my phone. When I go into the camera settings in the Dropbox app, I can even see the most recent photo (the one that won't sync) in the preview, it just does not show up in my Dropbox!
My uploads are stuck on "Waiting to upload" on my Android phone
Device Samsung Galaxy Z flip 7 phone 2025 Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Android 16 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 446.2.4 Question or Issue It just gets stuck saying, waiting to upload. I've contacted my phone provider and they have assured me, repeatedly, that is not a problem on their end. I've tried resetting my device and uninstalling and reinstalling to dropbox application.It takes a while for my Android to upload my camera roll
So it looks like dropbox doesn't immediately upload my camera roll. It usually takes several hours but sometimes it never seems to happen. I read the help guides about battery optimization for Android but the settings are way different on my end. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Backing up .heic into camera uploads with Android
Hello, when I receive a text message with image from an iPhone user, I download the image to my phone but it does not show in my camera upload folder. I have been reading there are ways Dropbox will convert the file as well, but the information I have seen seems to be only for iPhones. I looked into my settings and there isn't options to back up convert .heic files. I currently have Dropbox Plus. Without having to manually share each picture to Dropbox, how do I get Dropbox to back up .heic files? How do I get Dropbox to convert the files when they are in my Camera Uploads folder?
