1231 TopicsI'd like the option to delay automatic camera uploads.
Feature request: Delayed camera upload It would be very helpful to have an option to delay automatic camera uploads. Right now, photos are uploaded immediately, which means I often have to delete unwanted photos twice – first on my phone and then again in Dropbox. A delay (or temporary queue/“review before upload” option) would make it much easier to sort and remove unwanted photos before they are uploaded.53Views0likes1CommentI see a "syncing with Dropbox is paused" error on my Files app.

Dropbox will only re-add newer photos.
Hi! I need to force the iOS app to re-upload all the photos in my Camera Roll/iCloud Photos. I set it up so it uploads everything, not just new photos, but it will only upload new items. I believe it recognizes older pics as "already uploaded" and I don't know how to reset this. I have already re-installed the app, deleted all files in the Dropbox's Camera upload folder, restarted the device. Still, Dropbox will only upload new files. Thanks in advance!Solved166Views0likes6CommentsHalf of my photos are missing from the mobile app, but it still says I'm over-quota.

Device Pixel 9a Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Android 16 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) Latest on play Syncing Status NA What I am trying to do: I make a new folder on my dropbox. Then I select "upload", "files". I navigate to my local folder on android which contains 3000 pictures. I press "select all", and "select". I now expect all files to be uploaded to my Dropbox folder. what happens: dropbox shows a popup with "preparing to upload". This dialog will animate for a minute or so. Then the app reloads and shows my root Dropbox folder. expected behaviour: files uploading to my Dropbox folder more stats: over 1 terabyte free space. Total upload size is less than 30 GB.86Views0likes3CommentsDropbox Pocketbook isn't supported won't let me sign in.

Device iPad, iPhone 13 Operating System/Browser (if using the web) ios 26.3.1 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 460.2.2 Question or Issue For over a decade, I’ve been able to export a single file via email by just pulling up the file and hitting export. In the past year, I’ve had to change to using the check mark by the file to be able to export that single file. A more involved approach, but still doable. But as of today, the only way I can export a file is by sending a link to the folder. I don’t expect customers to follow a link to get the contract I’ve always sent to them directly. Plus, I’d have to make a folder for each contract so they didn’t see all the rest of my contracts. How do I fix this? Do I have to skip Dropbox and just send contracts directly from the signing app? How is this an improvement?Solved139Views0likes5CommentsIs viewing with download disabled for free accounts?
Is viewing with download disabled for free accounts? (I am on a free account) When I go to share (and subsequently generate a link) I now see a mandatory choice of either 1) editable or 2) viewable only. The software defaults to editable (which I think I was inadvertently using for a while and NOT what I want). When I noticed this today, I went to the viewable option instead and then looked at the settings. There are options (see screenshot below) but it seems like the option to have downloads enabled on viewable links is greyed out? But also kind of difficult to tell – it looks lighter blue than normal GUI switches I've seen in the past... It looks like it is on by default but I don't know if it being greyed out means that it is stuck on or that it is not functional (meaning even though its showing as on, the greyed-out-ness means it is actually off AKA no downloads for recipient). Can you please clarify this confusing interface before I send the link? I do not want to send things then recipients say they can't access it. The interface really shouldn't be this confusing. Thanks!Solved67Views0likes2CommentsI can't access a Dropbox offline folder through Termux with claude cli.
On Android, I can not access dropbox offline folder through termux with claude cli. Could you add an option to make the offline files appears in a folder, such as download, so that termux can directly access ? In this way, we can do coding on the phone without github50Views0likes1CommentMy main file doesn't show recent updates (last one was 7 months ago) and there's no history.
