Dropbox Transfer
13 TopicsSimplifying 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.51Views0likes6CommentsDropbox 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]29Views0likes1CommentTurn off transfer notifications & emails globally
We love Dropbox transfers, but we don’t 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 don’t 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.41Views0likes1CommentDropbox 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.18Views0likes3CommentsApproved 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.617Views1like2CommentsHigher number of characters for Transfer name
Please allow Transfer names have more characters. If I'm correct the current limit right now is only 28 characters and that's really low. I'm working with multiple clients simultaneously and there for I'd like to include my client's company name to Transfer name. But within 28 characters that pretty difficult. And the huge bonus would be an optional text box for Transfer description. That would allow me to write few lines of information about the files included in Transfer.1.2KViews3likes3CommentsAccess Dropbox Transfers from Dropbox Menu Bar icon
Currently the Dropbox App downloaded to my Mac puts a little Dropbox icon in the menu bar. Clicking that icon reveals a dropdown menu with Sync History and Activity tabs. Would love to see another tab with all my active Transfer links so that I can easily copy a link to a previously uploaded Transfer and paste into an email or message. Currently the only way (that I know of) to view previously created Transfers, it to go to the Dropbox Transfers web page.928Views0likes3CommentsWork flow improvement for the Transfer feature
Hi DB Team I would like to enter the email distro list, title, and message before I start the upload. That way I can stop thinking about the transfer as soon as I start the upload. As it is currently, I have to upload the files and then enter the info and hit send. I end up waiting around until the upload is finished to enter the information. this is a huge time hit and workflow bottle neck866Views0likes3CommentsDropbox Transfer: Different Customizable Backgrounds for Different Clients
I'm a photographer who uses dropbox transfer to send shots to clients and I would love to be able to customize the Dropbox Transfer background to feature different images for different clients (so that I can show off a photo or two from that set when they open the transfer page).1.5KViews0likes4Comments
