Dropbox Transfer
7 TopicsPhoto updates to USB from DropBox
Hi, Iâm an Emergency Services photographer, and I regularly provide USBâs filled with images of their station, trucks and personnel. Each time I receive a USB back to add new content, I have to manually delete the existing files from the USB to put the new Synced DropBox stuff onto it or manually select the rows of photos and Copy & Paste them onto the USB file. upload the updated versions, and then copy everything back onto the USB. It would be incredibly helpful to have a feature where I can simply select new content and press âUpload New Content to USB,â allowing the system to automatically update the drive with only the new additions. (I upload photos from my iPad onto the cloud then use the Dragging and Copy and Paste feature on laptop.) Iâd love for this idea to be considered! - Ty47Views0likes1CommentDropbox Transfer: Include the name of the transfer to the downloaded item
Dear Dropbox Team, We would like to request a small improvement in Dropbox Transfer. In our business, we use Dropbox Transfer to deliver image assets to our customers. To help them easily identify each transfer, we label it with the corresponding order name. This allows our customers to quickly match the transfer with their order. However, when customers download the transfer, the saved file has a different, generic name. Some customers have reported that this causes inconvenience, as they struggle to recognize their folders later on. We would like to request an improvement: When a transfer is downloaded, could the downloaded folder be named based on the transfer name? For example, if we name a transfer #138742146, it is currently saved as Transfer-3.zip or a similar generic name. Instead, could it be saved as #138742146.zip? We serve thousands of customers using Dropbox, and this small change would have a significant positive impact on their experience. We appreciate your consideration and hope this improvement can be implemented soon. Best regards, Asad Shakil Technical Lead at Path [removed per the Community's Guidelines]39Views0likes2CommentsTurn off transfer notifications & emails globally
We love Dropbox transfers, but we donât need an email saying that we just created a transfer, 5 seconds after we created a transfer. Transfer download notifications and emails are also extremely annoying. Some of our transfers are downloaded by dozens of people. I donât need 50 emails plus 50 desktop alerts. We know that we can turn off download notifications for individual transfers, but we should be able to set this as a default. Please add transfers to the notifications page in settings so we can control these settings globally.73Views0likes2CommentsDropbox Transfer: Unique customisable Background for each transfer
This was proposed few years ago I see, but has not been implemented. Seems like such an obvious and simple feature! It would be great if each transfer could have customisable, unique for this transfer and permanent for this transfer background (and possibly thumbnail). This would be a very useful feature, for client to see a background unique to them while downloading their transfer.28Views0likes4CommentsCan 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.36Views1like1CommentSimplifying File Transfers when using an iOS mobile.
Please enable multiple file selection or remember the last folder during the transfer file process. Currently in iOS mobile app I can only pick one file at a time and because it goes back to the root folder for each new selection I have to find my way back to the same folder over and over again when transferring multiple files. Thank you.78Views0likes6CommentsApproved Domains for Dropbox Transfer
We would love to have the feature of Approved Domains for Dropbox Transfer, just like you can for Shared Folders in Dropbox. This is a crucial feature for us to control who our employees can send transfer links to as part of our efforts to reduce data leak risk. We've had to turn off Dropbox Transfer for our users because they can easily send files to anybody, including their personal email addresses, without friction. Please consider adding this as a feature for Dropbox Enterprise users.634Views1like2Comments
