13 TopicsFull file path for deleted files
I recent had many files deleted due to a Windows Chkdsk finding and repairing some disc errors. However, when looking under "Deleted files" or "Events" on Dropbox, in most cases only the main folder path is shown and not the sub-folders the files were actually located in. This made it near impossible to identify files. My suggestion is that the full file path (at least from the main Dropbox folder) is available for any deleted files so that they may be identified correctly. Taking another example... Supposing I had two (or more) large folders with sub folders in the same main folder and accidentally deleted both but needed to keep one. As things stand, both would be listed as having been in the same location (the main folder) and it would be impossible to find all the correct files to restore.129Views1like2CommentsSearching deleted files
Being a photographer and independent video producer, I shoot thousands thousands of photo and video files for clients. Once the projects are finished and approved, after a period of time, I delete the raw files because they are so huge and take up a great deal of storage space. After deleting these large raw files. Occasionally, I need to restore something. But there's no need for me to search through thousands and thousands of files I haven't deleted to find something I did delete. It would be nice when I click on Deleted Files to know I would be searching ONLY files I have deleted and not have to wade through the thousands and thousands I haven't deleted to find what I need. That said, being able to make deleted files visible in context to undeleted files is helpful. I didn't know I could do that until yesterday talking to customer support, but being able to search only deleted files would be helpful.67Views0likes2CommentsDeleting multiple duplicated in a single operation
I often find duplicate photos in several folders using the 'Find duplicates' feature. Currently, I have to delete selected photos from each duplicate set one by one. It would be helpful if I could select all the photos I want to delete across multiple sets and remove them in a single operation. This would make managing duplicates much faster and more efficient.133Views2likes2CommentsSelect multiple documents in Drobox Sign "your documents" list for bulk actions (deleting, etc.)
In the "your documents" section of Drobox Sign, users have the options to send reminders for unsigned documents, download, share, delete, etc. However, we can only do this on each individual document. What I'd like to suggest is the option to select multiple documents (maybe even a "select all" for the current filter) to allow bulk actions. I'm picturing something like most email clients have for emails: either checkboxes or shift-clicking, then "mark all as read" and "delete all", etc. In particular, I have at least 19 pages of documents (15 per page) dating back as far as 2021 that I no longer need. I'd love to delete them all, not only due to the clutter I see but I'm sure they take up some amount of storage on Dropbox's servers. However, asking me to manually delete each document individually is just unrealistic when it takes several seconds to click the "more options" three dots, click delete, confirm the popup, and wait for the page to reload. It'd probably take me the better part of a day, even assuming I didn't have other work to attend to. It would also be helpful if the "your documents" section had more filtering options than just document status and search terms. Filtering by date and by template used would be a good start. I'd also like to recommend giving the user some means of categorizing the documents in the "your documents" section, rather than just placing everything in a very, very long list. Either folders we can place documents in, or a tag system, or both.86Views0likes2CommentsSigners should be able to cancel pending signature requests (even the ones sent by template links).
Dear DropBox Community, Would it be nice to be able to decline/cancel signature requests, even if the sender sent them via a template link? No more needing to contact people who you don't want to contact who sent documents that you don't want to sign. For context, I tried to cancel/decline 3 documents that are pending my signature because I do not want to sign them and I do not want to contact the signer. When I contacted the DocuSign help team and sent screenshots, they told me that the senders cancelled their accounts and that I cannot decline the documents because they were initiated via a template link. Let's get them to fix this ASAP! I included the message from customer support below. Kind regards, Vasco You don't have the ability to decline because it was initiated via a template link. For template link requests the option to decline the request is unfortunately not available to the recipient. This is expected behaviour, as template link requests are designed differently from standard or bulk send requests. Because of this setup, only the sender has the ability to cancel the request—they control the workflow since the document is generated directly from a link rather than being individually addressed. Our documentation for decline options is only for non template link requests. If you need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reply to this email.142Views1like3Comments
