🌟🤝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. T 💙 (Dropbox Community Manager)
Remove Dropbox "Send with Transfer..." menu item from macOS Finder context menu
A somewhat-recent version of Dropbox for macOS has added the new menu item "Send with Transfer..." when right-clicking any file on your Mac, not just files in Dropbox. I know that Dropbox's Finder Extension can be disabled entirely. But this disables syncing badges and all Finder integration. I want to keep the Finder Extension enabled for the Dropbox folder itself... I just want to disable the global menu items when outside of the Dropbox. The similar "Move to Dropbox" menu item can be disabled individually: /Applications/Dropbox.app/Contents/MacOS/Dropbox --move-to-dropbox=False https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-installs-integrations/Pleeeeease-does-anyone-know-how-to-permanently-delete-the-Move/td-p/13682 Is there a similar setting to hide the "Send with Transfer..." menu item individually? Until this menu item is removed I will be forced to disable the entire Finder integration.Discover Dropbox Transfer in video!
Hi beloved Community! Has any of you used Dropbox Transfer, our feature allowing you to share large files to anyone, Dropbox user or not? We put together a video featuring Madison, one of our Product Marketing Manager who built this amazing feature, and some of our users who will explain themselves, in their own words, how Transfer works! Check Dropbox Transfer video here! BTW, we actually recorded this video using Dropbox Capture, another cool product that allows anyone to record videos and screen captures easily. Did you like this video? And would you like to see more lightweight, educational videos on Dropbox features in the future?
Show full filenames for transfers under desktop app notifications.
As a UX person, it always hurts me when I see somewhere people hides useful information behind their nonsense thinking. It's like "Let's not think and do whatever you can" It's their Desktop APP notification about a Transfer download. "Your transfer was just downloaded" Do you guys have any clue what transfers are downloaded without clicking on the little button "Manage"? You are viewing notification on the app, but clicking on manage will get you to the browser and look below, Dropbox doesn't have enough room to show the full name of the transfer? I would like to fire the Dropbox UX guy and give him/her 100 lashes for this odd UX behavior. Is AI the Nonsense doing these? And guess what, they were able to show the name for the Transfers that are being expired. Amazing, right? But couldn't show the name of the Transfers those are downloaded which has more importance sometimes. Any Dropbox UX person out their to explain the situation. And I'm sorry how I wrote this up, but I've been using Dropbox for over a decade and I'm tired of this and finally took the time put it here. NB: I love this forum editor. It's the best among others I've used for a while. Thank you!
Can you expand the character limit in title for Dropbox Transfer?
Dropbox Transfer only accepts 21 characters in the title (in the transfer widget not regular Dropbox sharing). It would be great if this can be expanded to more characters. Some companies that I send files to require specific words in the file names for versioning. ID, date, etc so file names become long.
