Emojis in filenames are finally here! 🥳
Hey everyone! We’ve got some exciting news - Dropbox now supports way more characters in filenames and folders! Emojis are now supported across all surfaces, and it’s available to everyone! That means support for emojis like 🚀, 🎵, 🏴☠️, plus rare scripts like 𩸽, اللهِ, and even mathematical symbols like 𝛑 or 𝔸. This long-requested update fixes the issue of files not syncing properly due to unsupported characters, so everything now works just as expected. Whether you’re jazzing up a folder name with a little ✨ flair ✨or using your native language to stay in flow, we hope this update brings a little extra delight to your day and the way you work. Give it a go and let us know what you think! And of course, thank you to Link1328 for the idea and everyone who contributed to the thread! Let us know what you think, share your feedback or any other requests for characters to support below 👇 Happy organizing!🌟🤝Community Spirit Badge 🤝🌟
Hey everyone! 🌟 It’s Theresa here. You’ve probably seen me hanging out in the Community, jumping into conversations and joining discussions (if you haven’t seen me before, well, hello 👋). And while doing that, I’ve noticed something pretty great (well, we all have here on the Dropbox Community Team) – so many of you are out here making this Community an amazing place. Whether you're helping others, sharing useful tips, or just bringing good vibes ✨, your contributions really stand out. To recognise and celebrate this, we’ve created a brand-new badge… This badge is all about celebrating the people who make this space feel like home. It’s for those who do more than just answer questions – the ones who offer a helping hand 🤝, share great tips 💡, and keep the good vibes flowing. Whether you're solving tricky problems 🧩, sharing useful resources 📚, or just making the Community a fun place to hang out 😃, we see you and we appreciate you. The Community Spirit Badge is a one-time award 🏆, so if you earn it, you know you're doing something special. It's a little extra recognition for those who truly bring the Community to life. We’re so excited 🎊 to launch this new badge and can’t wait to start recognizing the amazing individuals who truly bring the spirit of this Community to life. And if you spot someone who you think deserves the Community Spirit Badge, don’t hesitate to tag me Theresa within the thread.

Publish to social media from Dropbox!
Hello! My name is Amanda. My team is building a feature to help users publish videos to their final destination — whether that’s social media, YouTube, your website, or elsewhere. We hear this task is repetitive and tiresome, and you shouldn’t have to waste time downloading and uploading videos to multiple places. Starting today, you can publish videos and photos directly from Dropbox to Instagram and Facebook**. Simply open a video or photo on www.dropbox.com, and click "Publish". Soon, we’ll let you schedule posts in advance, and post to YouTube. Note: This feature isn’t widely available to all users yet — if you don’t see the Publish button, reply to this thread with “opt-in” and we'll give your account access. 😉 If you’d like to collaborate and help shape the future of this feature, reply with “I’m ok for Dropbox to contact me by email” and we will reach out. **You must have an Instagram Business account and a Facebook Page to publish from Dropbox. See this article for support. ***Update - this feature has been temporarily postponed and there is no longer an "opt-in" option for it. Thank you for your continued patience.***
