When opening LibreOffice my files give me an error, and fail to download.
Integration Affected LibreOffice Device Fujitu desktop Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Windows 11 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) I'm uing the desktop version. Question or Issue I had to have a change of computer as my other one died. My other computer ran on Linuz, but my replacement one uses Windows 11 and Firefox. I have LibreOffice installed on this computer. I logged into Dropcox and tried to open my spreadsheet in LibreOffice Calc, but it failed to download and showed an error meaage.
We want to open shared links directly on the desktop app and not the website.
Hi there. Love Dropbox. I moved our whole team to it from Google Drive much to all of our delight. The one hiccup that keeps coming up (was also an issue with Drive, but would be a game changing new feature from DB) is sharing links. Our team uses the desktop app to work with files directly in finder, but we share links to files and folders on slack and in email, etc... Right now we click a link, it opens the browser as expected, we find the file path in browser and then follow that path in finder. That seems like an awful lot of work when we have a direct connection between our finder and dropbox in the app. Perhaps the website could provide a link that connects to the desktop app, opening the folder/file in finder or windows explorer. Seems like a reasonable option to me, but what do others think?
Preview pane images accessed via UNC on a server in Dropbox are blank.
This is a tough one. We have Dropbox syncing our server files and access those via mapped network drives on workstations. All files stored locally. The problem is images stored on the server in the Dropbox folder will not preview in the windows explorer preview pane. I create a share outside of Dropbox and boom it works. The thing is PDF, DOCX & XLSX preview fine. It's just images (JPG, PNG, BMP, TIFF). Yeah Dropbox doesn't support server OS ok. Server is 2022. We have had this setup since Server 2012 and has been working great for over a decade. Thinking of moving onto something else, no not SharePoint already tried that. We have heaps of data and SharePoint is too expensive. Maybe a NAS. If anyone can think of something I haven't tried that would be awesome. Must be a permissions issue somewhere.
Improved MP3 Player: Play Audio While Viewing Sheet Music or Documents
Hi there, (for iPad/iOS and general) It would be great if the MP3 player could be displayed side-by-side (for example, in a side panel), so that MP3 files can play in a built-in player while a PDF or other document is open at the same time within the Dropbox app. This would be extremely helpful for musicians and similar use cases. Also, please ensure that basic MP3 playback options are available (some may already exist), such as play once, shuffle, and loop. For my workflow, “play once” would be the most important feature. Thanks a lot! (using iOs, iPad App)
Dropbox Paper - images don't load on the web
Similiar to 3 months ago I again have a dropbox paper file that doesn't show pictures that have been uploaded. When I click on the file I get an access denied notification. Very weird as I uploaded the pictures via copy pace. The same issue occured 4 months ago documented in the following community ticket. Dropbox Paper images aren't loaded on the web | The Dropbox Community I am really wondering if dropbox paper is still a service should use if this happens again and again - maybe its better to switch to a more reliable solution such as notion. Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D5622AQG1WaxHAI0r0w/feedshare-shrink_2048_1536/B56Zj3q93DG4Aw-/0/1756501896665?" on this server.

Is there some easy way I am missing of viewing an HTML file from the iOS Dropbox app in Safari rather than in the in-app viewer? I have only been able to make this happen by a convoluted process involving sending files to My Files first.
Hide the photo
1-Hide Selected Files in a Shared Folder. We need an option to hide specific photos or files so they do not appear in the drop box gallery view. 2-Preview Photos Inside ZIP Files When sharing a ZIP file, Dropbox requires users to open each file individually. It would be invaluable if photos inside a ZIP could be displayed directly on the main page, just like a normal shared folder. 3-Show a Thumbnail Under Shared Links (Optional) When sharing a link, please allow an optional preview image (for example, the first photo in the folder) to appear under the link, similar to pCloud. Thank you so much
