26 TopicsiPhone photo import - how do I import the favourites and album information?
Hello, I have set up my iphone photos to sync to my Dropbox. All good, but I can see now that they are all unsorted - my favourites and albums have not come through with the import. Is there a way to do this? I've spent ages sorting on my phone and now all I can see is date order sort or "star". ThanksSolved1.8KViews0likes2CommentsI can't paste the screenshots I capture on Windows
For some reason I cannot pate the screenshots after I press "Print Screen". I have dropbox on my pc set to copy link when image is ready and then there is a pop up on the bottom right when I take a picture and it says "press ctrl+v to copy" BUT IT DOESN'T work at all!1.6KViews0likes47CommentsPhotos uploaded not listed by creation date
We mainly use 2 smartphone to upload our photos in different personalised folders. The folders are OK but when we view the Photos category listed per months is a complete mess: most pictures are listed by date of upload and not by date of creation! Most surprisingly not all photos are listed in this wrong way: a lot of them are correctly shown by their creation date in their own months. This is insane..I read a topic about the lack of metadata, this means I have no way to catalogue the photos by their correct order? Or is there a procedure or tip I shall do? When I tried Dropbox before purchasing it I specifically uploaded some photos and no problem was found. I don't understand even how is possible that some are listed correctly and others not..for us it would be a game changer to keep using Dropbox..thanks767Views0likes3CommentsWhy was the way screenshots were handled changed?
Me and my friends question what drove the people behind this software to break something intentionally like that? I work as a Quality Assurance expert, and can only see this change as sabotage. When I press "PrtSc" I want the image to be copied into my clipboard. The fact that it was saved into the screenshots folder wasn't always desired, but I could deal with it (always cleaned up that folder once a month). But now that doesn't happen. I get so many extra steps, and if I opt out of it, I'm left with nothing. Sure, I could just install a different software for making screenshots, but that seems so stupid to do, given what worked before!Solved736Views5likes19CommentsMy Dropbox app stops after several minutes while uploading my photos from my iOS device.
Goodmorning, I recently started working with Dropbox again and want to upload all my pictures from my iPhone (iCloud) to my Dropbox. Itâs about 125,000 photos and itâs not easy, as my app stops after several minutes. At first it started counting and now counting down as it uploads each photo/movie. But I have to open the app again; sometimes it is completely black and it has to start again and sometimes it resumes. Also the night mode stops after several minutes. I have tried if keeping my iPhone open forever works, but no. Also un-installed the app, closed my iPhone and furthermore rebooted it, re-installed the app. It started counting up again and fortunately (of course) all uploaded photos were available, but it still stops after several minutes. I am now at 72.000 and it is too time consuming. Any suggestions on what else I can do to keep the app working? Thanks!435Views0likes28CommentsProblems sharing photos
Iâve shared photos in the past, but not successfully recently. Using Windows 10, I set up a folder to be viewed by anyone with a link to it, moved in some photo files, downloaded the link and emailed it. I got a response that DropBox was asking the recipient to login. I checked the website, only to find that although the folder is shown for viewing by âAnyone with linkâ, each of the JPEG files within it was listed under âWho can accessâ as âOnly youâ. Why are the settings for the individual files not aligned with the folder I moved them into, and how can I align them? Why is the link user being asked to log in, and how can I avoid this? How can I check myself that future links work as expected, rather than annoying recipients with links that donât work?Solved208Views0likes5CommentsPhoto updates to USB from Dropbox
Hi, Iâm an Emergency Services photographer, and I regularly provide USBâs filled with images of their station, trucks and personnel. Each time I receive a USB back to add new content, I have to manually delete the existing files from the USB to put the new Synced DropBox stuff onto it or manually select the rows of photos and Copy & Paste them onto the USB file. upload the updated versions, and then copy everything back onto the USB. It would be incredibly helpful to have a feature where I can simply select new content and press âUpload New Content to USB,â allowing the system to automatically update the drive with only the new additions. (I upload photos from my iPad onto the cloud then use the Dragging and Copy and Paste feature on laptop.) Iâd love for this idea to be considered! - Ty198Views0likes5CommentsHow do I stop Dropbox from uploading every single picture on my PC?
I use Dropbox on my computer to backup my work files which include my 3D renders that consist in a png sequence (one image per frame at 30 or 60fps), so I have thousands of png images related to renders but dropbox automatically adds them to the camera uploads in my phone app which is extremely annoying because I need to scroll down thousands of images to see my actual photos... if I delete them it deletes my render backup as well, it does the same thing for textures, which makes my photo roll unusable.177Views0likes8CommentsThe dates of images and videos under Photos tab on iOS are in future millennia.
A few files are always on top of my imported images under the photos tab. They have a normal creation and modification date and are located elsewhere, not in the camera uploads folder. How would I fix this? thanks175Views0likes5CommentsCan I link a folder to another website gallery and export the folder structure from Dropbox?
I am helping my father in law get his collection of postcards into an online gallery. I am hoping to use the Wix website to create a database of the postcards and include the web URL that each can be found at. All of his postcards are in a Dropbox folder. The issue is that there are over 10,000 postcard images that need adding to the database collection. With this volume, it makes sense to use the Import facility available in Wix. So I need a way of: Getting the folder structure from Dropbox, including subfolders and files into a spreadsheet Making an entire Dropbox folder public including subfolders and files Constructing the web URL from the filename and folder info obtained in step 1 I believe I can do step one easily enough through Excel and using the "Get Data" from folder. I also believe it is easy enough to give public access to a particular folder. My issue is creating the individual web URLs that will be in the sub folders. I don't want to have to visit each f the 10,000 items and copy and paste the public URL for the image into a spreadsheet. Hopefully that makes sense, but if not please ask for clarification and I will do my best :)175Views0likes5Comments
