Get summer ready with Dropbox Basic
Itâs getting a little warmer, there are flowers blooming and buds on the trees, and as nice as spring is, it means summer is just around the corner. We all know that summer is as good as you make it, so putting the work in now means you can enjoy every minute. Weâre not talking about putting in hours at the gym, weâre talking about getting organized so you can relax and enjoy. Your Dropbox Basic account might be more powerful than you think for making your summer unforgettable. Use Dropbox for your Travel documents: If you are travelling this summer, one thing we know that can help take the stress out of planning is having digital copies of all of your documents. Whether itâs your passport, your booking confirmation for a car or hotel, tickets to events - your info can be as mobile as you are. Check out how to use Dropbox on your mobile devices here. And donât worry, if you donât have a digital copy you can use the Dropbox Scanner App to copy in your physical copies too. Create To-do lists with Dropbox Paper: Dropbox Paper files take up very minimal space in your Dropbox Basic account, so make Paper work for you. If you have a list of attractions, places or events you want to get to this summer, make a to-do list with links and info in advance. And if youâre really organized, you can even link the maps to some of those spots too. And, donât forget, Paper is a collaborative tool so you can make joint planning docs for you and your friends - so you donât have to be in charge of every details, but you know things will get done. Make the most of Dropbox Passwords: Weâre here to sing the praises of Dropbox Passwords once again, because nothing is more annoying than setting up a movie night with friends and forgetting the logins for all your streaming services. Dropbox Passwords allows you to seamlessly sign in to websites and apps by storing your passwords securely. It safely stores your usernames and passwords on all your devices â so you donât have to keep them all in your head. Everything is seamless with Dropbox Passwords: Create secure, strong passwords that sync across your devices Lock the Passwords app automatically after inactivity or whenever your device is locked Unlock the Passwords app with Face ID or Touch ID on your iOS devices or fingerprint scanner on your Android device Summer project progress photos: Itâs easy to get so busy that you can lose track of time, and forget to take a moment to appreciate your work. So if youâre planning some summer projects, why not take a weekly photo and upload it to a Dropbox folder to track your progress? ConF2_0, a Community member mentioned here that she used Dropbox to save photos of her garden to track how well her plants and crops were growing, which I now do myself! So, whether itâs a DIY project, a garden, or even a new pet thatâs growing rapidly, you can track the progress, remember the early days and see how far youâve come. So - how are you going to use Dropbox to make your summer amazing?Whatâs new this spring
I donât know about you, but Iâm absolutely delighted to finally see spring taking itâs hold. If youâre anything like us Irish, this time of year marks a turning point, as the dark winter months are replaced by longer, brighter and warmer days. Flowers start to blossom, bees are buzzing, the birds are singing, and it nearly seems like the whole countryâs mood lifts. Itâs just a blooming great time of year! Weâve also got a lot to be happy about with Dropbox, too. So, hereâs whatâs new this spring. Publishing content to social media Weâre currently in the process of rolling out a feature that will allow you to publish content straight to social media from your Dropbox account. If youâve been using Dropbox for your social media content, youâll know that downloading - and re-uploading - videos and images can take up quite a bit of time so youâll be delighted to hear that you will no longer need to do this as you can now publish posts on Facebook and Instagram directly from your Dropbox account. Weâre also currently working on a function that will allow you to schedule posts directly from your Dropbox account and the ability to publish content to YouTube. Youâll need an Instagram for Business account and a linked Facebook account to be able to use these features. As this is currently being rolled out, this feature is not yet available to everyone. Youâll know if you can do it if you can see the âPublishâ button. If you canât see it, have a look at this thread to find out how to opt-in. Unlimited passwords Having somewhere to track and manage passwords these days is an integral part of life, otherwise youâre left trying to remember an ever growing and ever changing list of random words, not to mention the really hard bit of trying to remember which random word fits for which random account. With Dropbox Passwords, you donât need to worry about any of that, it will keep all your passwords, logins and card details up to date and fully synced across three devices. It will even autofill your passwords so they are as safe and securer as possible, but thatâs not even the best thing about Dropbox Passwords. So, what is the best thing about Dropbox Passwords? Well, that would be the fact that it is completely free and available to all Dropbox Basic account holders. So to boost your password security game and put your mind at ease, get started with Passwords now! Mobile search improvements If youâve been using the Dropbox mobile app, youâve probably noticed some improvements to our search functionality recently. If you havenât, and youâre interested in learning more, hereâs a very quick run down of whatâs new. To start with, weâve made the thumbnails that appear in your search results bigger, which makes it easier to identify the things that youâre looking for and means you donât need to strain your eyes looking at those tiny tiles anymore. Weâve also added a number of new parameters and filters to help you find what youâre looking for quicker. Your search results will now include âModified Datesâ and âFile Sizesâ. Weâve introduced âSnippetsâ for keyword matches within files and thereâs also the ability to filter your search based on âFile Typeâ or âModified Dateâ and you can now view search results in order of newest to oldest. You can find out more or leave some feedback on these changes on this thread. And finally Weâd also like to give an honorary mention to one other thing that isnât really Dropbox related but will have a huge impact on our lives over the coming weeks and months. That is, the sun. For those of you who donât know it, itâs the huge golden ball burning in the sky. We havenât seen much of it around these parts recently and weâre looking forward to seeing a lot more of it in the near future. We hope youâll also get to enjoy it and soak up some lovely vitamin-D! Just donât forget your sunscreen. If thereâs something else that youâre happy about now that spring is in the air, or just in general, weâd love to hear from you. So please let us know what youâre grateful for by leaving us a comment below!
How to Remove Passwords App and Vaults?
Hi, I clicked ok when Dropbox suggested I download both of these. I now realise I need neither of them, and they clutter up my Dropbox folders and cannot be moved. How to uninstall/unlink/unsubscribe please? Iâve asked Dropbox support on twitter but they have been no help, just asking me to send more and more of my private information, which sounds suspect. Thanks, Rory
