66 TopicsWe see a "failed fetching latest photos" error in the camera uploads folder of our Android device.
We've just started getting a "failed fetching latest photos" on our Android Samsung Folds. What's somewhat strange is that the photos do appear in the web and also in our Mac app "Camera Uploads" folder. We'd always assumed that photos had to be captured first on our phones and then transferred ... but apparently the Android app is independent of actual camera uploads. Hopefully someone can help or reassure us that we're not the only ones with this minor but somewhat aggravating problem. We want to be able to see all our photos on our phones in Dropbox, too.Solved75Views0likes5CommentsAllow file requests via mobile app (Android, iOS)
Seems like this has been recommended in the past but was closed fairly quickly. Would definitely like to have this available on mobile, it's a hassle when I'm trying to create these on a go, and your mobile website is really clunky. Absolutely hate trying to do this on mobile web and it seems kind of silly not have the option in the mobile app. Would love to see this implemented!40Views0likes1CommentIssues with the photo size on Android when using the Box app
I have an Android (Galaxy something). Using the box app, continuous capture is set to take small photos, but seems to still be taking full resolution 2.7-3.1 MB instead of something in the 300KB size. Is there some other phone setting I need to adjust to allow the Box App to take small photos?29Views0likes3CommentsNo files showing on my Android app after changing phones
Hi, I upgraded to a new mobile and only yesterday I clicked on Dropbox app. It asked me to sign in, so I did but nothing showing. So went back to my old phone, and same again. I have 3 emails I tried the other 2 which I'm pretty sure I didn't use to register plus it was saying this email is not linked. As for the other email I'm like 99% sure that's what I used to register. I've gone on 3 emails and changed passwords but still nothing showing. I'm really gutted as I had alot of sentimental pics, videos and audios on there. Have been in touch with Dropbox via FB messenger but not really helpful. I was told it could be that ive not logged on over 12 month's, tbh i hardly do log in but im quite sure that inhave done within 12 months. I've not shared or deleted any files either. The links they sent me on Facebook i can't access keeps saying blocked for some reason This is the message it comes up with Access blocked: Dropbox's request does not comply with Google's policies [Removed as per Community Guidelines] Dropbox's request does not comply with Google's "Use secure browsers" policy.

I'm a long-term user of Dropbox and I love it's use ability and function. To my dismay, in the past year or so I seem to have lost the ability to create Microsoft Word documents in Dropbox. This is a feature I used regularly, and now it seems to be a long and clumsy process. Let me explain how it used to work and now doesn't. I would go into Dropbox on my Android phone, Select the folder I wanted to create the Microsoft Word document in and then Select the "Plus Symbol" found in the blue circle 🔵 found floating on lower right hand corner (that option is still there) after selecting the Plus Sign we are presented with an option to "Create or upload file" After selecting that option, I would be presented with a drop-down list of files I could create. These would include the 3 native Dropbox options of "Paper" "Text File" & 'Upload Files" as well as a list of Microsoft file types, which included MS Word & Excel and maybe PowerPoint. I would then select MS Word, and a MS Word document would be created and MS Word App would be seamlessly be activated and away I would go, creating content and saving it safely in Dropbox. Happy days! Now unfortunately when I select "Create or upload file" only the 3 native Dropbox options appear, no longer can I select a Microsoft Document type. I'm not sure why this change has occurred, and there is a work around I've found, but it's clumsy and time consuming and certainly doesn't have the elegance of what I was used to with seamless integration and function. My question is, how can I get the elegant integrated "create" MS Word option/ solution in Dropbox back, I don't want a clumsy work around.537Views0likes7CommentsShow destination folder name/path for 'Share to Dropbox'
Android OS: Share>Upload to Dropbox>'Choose upload location': That dialog window does not show the name/path of the destination folder it is displayingto the user. Often this forces the user to tap 'back' several times to see what node of the folder tree the app will send the file(s) to. If the user hasn't done a recent 'Share>Add to Dropbox' operation, they have no memory of what the last destination folder path was. Please help the user know right away the name/path if the default destination folder. Thank you. P.S. I wish this feedback system would allow for screenshots to be uploaded.816Views2likes12CommentsCan I selectively sync certain folders on the Dropbox app on Android?
Hello, while it's very clear to me how to apply the selective synchronization on PC, I don't know how to apply it on Android. I have an old tablet and I'd like to synchronize only one folder in it. I didn't find the procedure. How can I do it? Thank you, LiciarovSolved529Views0likes3CommentsAndroid devices not syncing with my PC
I have Dropbox set up on 3 devices, my Windows PC, an Android tablet and an Android mobile phone. The two android devices are no longer syncing with the main PC app. I have cleared cache via the Dropbox settings, logged out and on again, and deleted & downloaded the Dropbox again. Still no luck with syncing to the PC. Phone - Android 14 & Dropbox 386.2.2 Tablet - Android 13 & Dropbox 386.2.2Solved610Views0likes6Comments
