9 TopicsA Year of Conversations: 2025 Community Wrap-Up
Hey everyone! What a year! I’ve loved chatting with you all throughout 2025 - hearing your favourite Dropbox features, clever hacks and the all the ways you use Dropbox to keep life running smoothly. This community is really pure magic. Every week, you jumped in to help each other, share tips and celebrate wins. We had loads of Community Members of the Month, plenty of Mighty Answer badges and so many “aha!” moments. And the stories! From photographers sharing galleries, to coders syncing across Windows and Linux, to the person who who said syncing across threes computers and two homes was “beautiful” - you all really kept the forums lively, helpful and fun! One iPhone user was especially happy with the 2025 Live Photos update, which finally let them migrate their whole collection smoothly. It was made even sweeter knowing the feature came directly from an idea shared right here in the community. And, I adored hearing how Dropbox helps in everyday life, like the member who said: We’ve had our fair share of community adventures this year, but we made it through together and every time I got to say “I am glad to see your issue was resolved”, it honestly made my day. Last year we gave the Community a fresh new look and glow-up, and we really appreciate everyone’s patience with the changes throughout 2025. It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come, and we’re even more excited for what’s ahead. There are some fab new updates and improvements coming in 2026… so stay tuned! A huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone who got involved in conversations this year. Those who asked questions, those who answered them, and those who felt comfortable sharing ideas, frustrations, clever workarounds, and even honest feelings about Dropbox. And of course, a special shout-out to our amazing Super Users …you’re absolute stars and this community wouldn’t be the same without you. So that’s it from us for 2025! Have a safe and happy time over the holiday period, and I’ll see you all in 202610Views1like0CommentsAny system, tool, or tip for bulk-creating structured folders efficiently?
Hi all, I’m currently trying to improve how I handle client onboarding, specifically, the folder structures we set up in Dropbox. Right now, I’ve been creating folders manually for each new client, with subfolders for contracts, reports, communications, etc. But as the volume increases, it’s becoming really time-consuming and prone to inconsistencies. I’m wondering if anyone has a system, tool, or tip for bulk-creating structured folders efficiently? Ideally something that works with Dropbox. I recently came across a tool called EZFolders that lets you generate folder structures using AI, either by typing a command or uploading a CSV. It also has an AI assistant that helps guide you if you’re not sure how to format things. Seems like it could help, but I’m curious if anyone here has used it or knows more about it before I dive in. Would love to hear what others are doing to save time with this kind of task!311Views1like3CommentsBest Practices for Organizing and Sharing Medical Device Guides in Dropbox
Hi everyone, I often work with important medical documents, including user manuals and instructional guides like how to use OneTouch Ultra 2. I’m looking for advice on the best ways to organize, store, and securely share these types of files using Dropbox. What are some recommended folder structures or sharing settings to ensure easy access for patients or healthcare teams, while keeping sensitive information protected? Also, are there any useful Dropbox features or integrations that could help streamline collaboration on these documents? Thanks in advance for your tips!217Views0likes2CommentsHow are you using DocSend or Dropbox Sign to boost your workflows?
I find DocSend and Dropbox Sign invaluable for accelerating deals. DocSend gives me crucial analytics on how prospects engage with our proposals, telling me exactly what interests them. This insight helps me tailor my follow-ups and shorten sales cycles. Then, Dropbox Sign makes closing easy. Getting contracts e-signed in minutes, not days, is a game-changer for our efficiency and pipeline flow. How are you using DocSend or Dropbox Sign to boost your workflows? Share your favorite features!108Views0likes1CommentGet your 2025 Travel Plans sorted with Dropbox ✈️
Ah, January. The festive season is behind us, and while the weather may not be the best (like here in Ireland anyway 🌧️), it’s the perfect time to set your sights on something brighter... Planning an incredible trip for 2025! After all, nothing beats the winter blues quite like daydreaming about future adventures 🏖️. And here’s the best part, Dropbox is here to make your travel planning not just easier but actually enjoyable ✈️. Here’s how to use it to organize your trip like a pro (and keep the stress at bay, well.. until it’s time to pack 🧳). Starting your travel plans can be overwhelming so my first point of call would be to create a Travel 2025 Folder. Inside, create subfolders for each trip you’re dreaming of. Whether it’s a foodie tour in Italy 🍝🇮🇹 or a beach escape to Bali 🏖️🌴, having everything neatly organized in one place will make planning a breeze. Got travel buddies? Make life easier (and arguments fewer) by creating a shared Dropbox folder. Everyone can pop in their ideas 💡, flight options ✈️, and must-see spots 📍. Plus, when someone inevitably asks, “Wait, where are we staying?” you can just point them to the folder. When you travel 🌍, you never know how your mobile or cell data is going to be affected, and you can't rely on wifi networks. But this will be no problem, as you’ve already saved offline copies of your tickets 🎫, hotel reservations. You can now even re-read the sightseeing itinerary you put together mid-flight and get extra excited 🤩. Don’t let your stunning sunset pics and foodie shots be jeopardized by an overworked phone memory. Use Dropbox to back up your travel photos 📸 as you go by using mobile camera uploads . Hey, even if your phone also decides to take a dip in the pool 🏊♂️, your memories are safe and sound 💌. Forgetfulness happens to the best of us, especially when juggling flights, tours, and packing lists. Link Dropbox to your calendar and set reminders for key travel dates. You’ll never miss a check-in 🛫 or forget to book that romantic dinner with a view 🌇. So, what are you waiting for? Pour yourself a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine🍷, we’re not judging 😉), open up Dropbox, and start planning your 2025 getaway. With everything organized and at your fingertips, this year is already looking brighter. Bon voyage! 🌍✈️223Views1like2CommentsTricks for exporting file names to an Excel spreadsheet as index.
I have tried Zappier and other automations for exporting folders, subfolders, and even the files names to an excel spreadsheet to create an index or guide, even with the link for an easier access. Can anyone share a way to do such export or copy paste hack?1.1KViews0likes4CommentsTags - using Mac and Windows (don't want to use the browser)
I want to add tags to photo and video files on dropbox, but I don't want to use a browser and go to www.dropbox.com to add and find the tags. I can't use apple tags because the windows users can't see them. Any ideas for this problem?925Views0likes0Comments
