How to create Dropbox Image URL for hosting purposes.
Hi, basically I am trying to mass upload product images to various marketplace platforms. So, I'd like to know the right way on how to generate the link to those particular images so that the marketplace server can grab images directly from dropbox. I have tried the "share" and "copy url" way but it doesn't work. Please help!Solved92KViews1like6CommentsHow to share photos from Dropbox
How to Share Pictures using Dropbox Hey Community Friends! 📷 Karina here, and I’m happy to be sharing with you the different ways you can share your pictures using Dropbox (on the web & your mobile devices), on various Social Media platforms (ie. Facebook Messenger & Instagram), as well as how you can display your images on websites as a workaround to how Public Links were once displayed on websites, and through Dropbox Paper. Let’s start off with the basic and most common way to share your photos:Solved52KViews2likes4Comments
Uploading photos from phone
I basically got Dropbox in order to move my enormous collection of pictures and videos from my iPhone to somewhere else...The transfer went fine for a while, but then it has stopped and I keep seeing a message saying "waiting to upload". I have quit the application and relaunched, which does nothing. I have even upgraded Dropbox, as I suspect I will need the extra space... There is still over 400 pictures which are "waiting to upload" plus a few videos. And did I mention I started this process 13th of December...?Solved38KViews0likes37Comments
Can you password protect folders in Dropbox?
Hi folks, The Dropbox website at https://www.dropbox.com/features/share/password-protection clearly states that it is possible to password protect a folder in Dropbox, and has an animation on the page that seems to show this happening in a couple of simple steps. However, my version of Dropbox (the basic personal free version) looks nothing like that, and this Dropbox forum has a number of (possibly out of date) posts stating it's not possible to password protect a folder. Can this be done, or do I need to look for a different product? The options I seem to have around sharing and security seem to have are very limited. Even in a free version, I'd expect to be able to add layers of good security! Thanks, GlenSolved35KViews1like13Comments

I have a Dropbox folder that I wish to work on with three separate computers (all mine). I want the contents of the folder to also reside on each of these devices, with changes synced to DB. I wish to not depend on always having access to DB so I must have the files on the devices also. I don't wish the entire devices to be synced, but want the chosen folder to be visible on each desktop. What's the easy way to do so?Solved19KViews0likes5Comments
“something similar” to SCP for Dropbox
I'm trying to backup some file on my Linux server to Dropbox. I do *NOT* want to install Dropbox on my server as I do *NOT* want any of the files on my Dropbox account to be on this server. I'm looking for something similar to SCP, so it will look like this: scp backupDocument.txt mydropbox:/folder/save Basically I should be able to copy a file from my server and paste that file into my Dropbox account without needing to install Dropbox on the actual server.Solved15KViews0likes11CommentsCan you explain the difference between Smart Sync and Selective Sync?
I'm considering the Basic plan for Dropbox. I briefly read the differences between Selective Sync and Smart Sync. Is Selective Sync a "hot sync", in that the dropbox folder is continually monitored and sync to the "listening" folders? Is there a monthly charge for Selective Sync? If so, please advise.Solved12KViews2likes1Comment
