Photo 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! - Ty
The Photos page on the website is very slow, why?
Hi everyone, My name is Benoit, and I have been a Dropbox user since 2016. For me, my entire life is in Dropbox, and it is very important for me to have access to your solution. However, I have a small issue when trying to view my photos on the website (https://www.dropbox.com/photos). It is very difficult to find a specific photo, and the page loads very slowly! For example, when I try to find a picture from year, the page takes a long time to load. I set the filter to the year 2022, and it takes 4 to 5 minutes to display all the photos from that year! I tried in different browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, and Brave, but it's the same issue. Also, I tried in Linux Mint, Windows (10 and 11) and I've the same problem. My wife uses a different solution, like Google Photos(đ€ź), and when she wants to find a photo, it is not as slow as Dropbox and she can search for a photo by name. Why donât you have this filter in Dropbox? Best regards, Benoit
I 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!How can I copy the screenshot after uploading to Dropbox on the desktop app instead of a link?
Hello. I used to take a screenshot, it would save and I could just paste it into any chat by pressing CTRL+V. Now I can't do that, every time after I take a screenshot I have to go to the DROPBOX folder and then drag the screenshot I want into the chat. How can I get it all back? I don't need a link when copying, I need a screenshot.đżHow 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.
Allow us to select the folders whose photos we'd like to view under the Photos tab.
SerĂa muy Ăștil contar con la opciĂłn de seleccionar quĂ© directorios incluir o excluir en el apartado "Fotos". Muchas veces almacenamos imĂĄgenes o capturas de pantalla en carpetas especĂficas, y estas terminan mezclĂĄndose con nuestras fotos principales, generando desorden visual. Poder limitar la visualizaciĂłn Ășnicamente a los directorios que realmente contienen fotos ayudarĂa a mantener una experiencia mĂĄs organizada y enfocada. ------------------------ It would be very helpful to have the option to select which directories to include or exclude in the "Photos" section. We often store images or screenshots in specific folders, and these end up mixed in with our main photos, creating visual clutter. Being able to limit the display to only the directories that actually contain photos would help maintain a more organized and focused experience. [translated with an online translation tool]
Keep original file names in camera uploads feature on mobiles
The idea is not to rely in manually uploading all the time. I want to keep my pictures backed up in case of phone loss or damage, but the names are important as I keep the media backups in multiple places and if the names don't coincide, reconciliation is a hassle. I often end up having to double upload and compare pictures manually so I can see if any of them are missing, and delete the ones with names altered by the Dropbox app. This feels like unnecessary work altogether.
New screenshot update
So dropbox randomly updated to new screenshot expirience which is not useful as it was. I've always used drag and drop feature while screenshot appeared on the corner to quickly throw file on desktop or import it to file, but right now it have annoying icons on it and i cant drag the picture into any app or do anything about it, what the point of this update? Is theres a way to revert this? Did you tested it with real users? I can always do mark up inside macos preview, there no need of "dropbox" feature for this IMO
