Enable Emoji in file names.
I use emojiâs to help me find things quicker. I would like to add an emoji from the apple keyboard to the file folder name but when I click on rename and add the emoji it says âinvalid folder name...the folder name contains invalid charactersâ. Here is an example I wish to change âVehicles and DOTâ folder to say âđVehicle and DOTâ
--> Did you know... you can search for images using just text?
Hello Dropbox Community! My name is Lainie and I'm a Product Manager at Dropbox. Every now and again, I am going to post a "--> Did you know..." to 1) keep you informed of all of the cool technology that exists at Dropbox and 2) gather your feedback on how the features are performing. In today's, "--> Did you know..." I'll be talking about Image Search! Image search is allows you to use the Search Bar to search for the contents of the image using words to describe the image. For example, if you search for "cat" your search results will show files that 1) contain the word "cat" in the file name or body, AND 2) files that contain images of cat. No mention of the word "cat" is necessary! Pretty cool! If you haven't yet, I recommend that you check it out. Please respond to this thread and let me know... A) Did you know this feature existed? Do you use it? B) How can we make this even more useful for you? Have a great day! Lainie For more information, check out our Help Center Article on Image Search!Web Videos now supports auto-generated Video Transcriptions + Closed Captioning

Get ready for school with Dropbox
Going to school is a really exciting time, whether youâre starting a brand new course, returning after a break, or taking your first steps in a new career, thereâs so much to be enthusiastic about, but also a lot of preparations to make. So, if youâre heading back to school this year, take a moment to read our guide to hitting the ground running with Dropbox. Hereâs whatâs included; Get organized Access your files when and where you need Collaborate on team projects Get familiar with Dropbox Dash Never miss a beat with Dropbox Capture Save time with Dropbox Replay Get organized If youâre taking classes this fall, or even if youâre teaching them, the best thing you could do is get yourself organized before you start. With Dropbox, this is really simple. First things first, youâre going to have a lot of files to manage so youâll need to create some sort of folder system. You could start by creating a folder for each class, then in that folder create another subfolder for each topic. Then you can sort things by file type, day of the week, priority or by whatever way makes the most sense to you. This will help you be super organized and able to find all of your important documents at the drop of a mortarboard. Have your files where you need them, when you need them With Dropbox, you can have access to all of your important files wherever and whenever you need them. So, if youâre doing a bit of last-minute cramming on the bus or find yourself needing to make some quick edits to an essay, you can do it all easily with Dropbox. All you need to do, is make all of your most important files online-only and youâll be able to access them at the touch of a button. This will also mean that these files wonât take up space on your hard drive. Collaborate on team projects Team projects are always a challenge, especially when some members of the team are a little less enthusiastic than others (thereâs always at least one). With Dropbox, you can share all of those important files with everyone in your group, so nobody has any excuses for not getting all of the materials they need. You can also use a shared Paper doc, which allows you to create to-do lists with deadlines, meaning everyone always knows exactly what they have to do and when they have to do it. As if all of that wasnât already enough to keep everyone in line, you can also see everyone's name beside their work and you can check the documentâs history to dispel any fears of phantom deletions. You can read more on becoming a Paper pro here. Get familiar with Dropbox Dash Thereâs a lot to keep track of when youâre studying. With everything from classes and lectures to remembering where you saved your latest set of notes, you could be forgiven for feeling like you need your very own personal assistant. Well, now thanks to Dropbox Dash, our AI powered universal search tool, itâs easier than ever to keep track of everything youâve got going on. Dash connects with the apps and tools you are using, meaning you can search all of your surfaces from one single place. You can even ask Dash questions and it'll give you answers with information summarized from your relevant files. Youâll also be able to create Stacks, which are bundles of information. These can include emails, files, articles, presentations, and things that folders or bookmarks normally canât group together. Never miss a beat with Dropbox Capture Dropbox Capture allows you to record your screen, camera, and microphone. This can be really helpful if you need to create video messages for group projects or any sort of collaborative work. You can also use it the record online lectures or seminars, which youâll be able to edit, watch back, and easily share with classmates. You can watch the video below to find out more about Capture. You can find out more about Capture here. Save time with Dropbox Replay If youâre studying media or video production, or even if youâve got some video based projects to work on, Dropbox Replay could seriously help you up your game. If youâre not familiar with Replay, itâs our video, image and audio review tool that allows you to mark up, comment on, and finalize projects with your tutors or classmates, completely streamlining the entire review and approval process. But thatâs not all, Replay does so much more, find out more about some of our favorite features. Will you be using Dropbox for school?
