How can I open a shared link from the site in Finder?
My Workflow: I often receive Dropbox links from my team through various channels — Slack, email, AirDrop, Notion, etc.To review the files, I need to open them in specific apps, since the file types don’t support previews on the web. …And that’s where things get tricky. Current Situation with Dropbox: When using the Dropbox website on macOS with Safari, I don’t get an option to open the file in Finder. My current workaround is to try to locate where the file sits in our folder hierarchy and then search for it manually in Finder… which is such a pain. What I’m Hoping For: Instead of flooding us with Formula 1 ads and promoting Dash (which isn’t even available to me), I wish Dropbox would focus on supporting simple workflows like this: Receive a link → Open the file in my default app for that file type. No, I don’t want to go to the web app, download the file, and risk creating duplicates that break the single source of truth. No, I don’t want to memorize file paths 10 times a day. And no, I shouldn’t have to dig into port settings or run terminal commands to make this work. Am I missing something? How are other teams dealing with this? Thanks!
Camera Upload thumbnail not showing on mac
I use Smart Sync I'm on a Macbook Air Ventura 13.5.2 I know SmartSync doesn't download the files to your laptop but I'm pretty sure I used to get low-res thumbnails of the images in my Camera Upload folder Since updating to the newest OS that seems to not work anymore and I just see the generic icons now. If I "make it available offline" then it downloads the image and the thumbnail works but I'd love to have a low-res thumbnail so I can tell if I should download it or not.
I get a blank white page when going to certain pages on the Dropbox website on macOS Sequoia
Hello there, brand new MacBook Air M4 owner here Just a FYI your website is broken for us While going to either dropbox.com/desktop or dropbox.com/install both of the big blue buttons that are supposed to download a file, instead does absolutely nothing at all, and only renders a blank white page. I tried disabling popup blocker and content blocker for your website and it still does not work There's no way I'm the only one, it's a brand new machine
Videos shared through Dropbox play on MacBook but do not play when connected to external display
Got a a shared video through dropbox. When I play it it works but as soon as I plug into to an external display (Samsung TV via hdmi) is does not work. On the browser (Chrome and Safari incognito, private window) I get an error, "your file may be corrupted or your browser does not support the file". I even downloaded the video and it plays on quicktime but as soon as I connect to the external display it stops working. What issue am I experiencing? Thanks
