21 TopicsNo search by content of Paper documents
Hi! I was an active user of Dropbox Paper for many years and I have many important documents stored there. Previously, there was a keyword search function in search for the entire contents of all files. After the latest change, the search only searches by document name. If there is an alternative way to search or the feature was disabled permanently (but why?).Solved154Views0likes3CommentsRecent update of the desktop app not allowing me to see .clip thumbnails in File Explorer.
I use clip studio paint for work and I need to be able to see the thumbnails for the files to navigate them quickly. By default windows allows me to do this and it has been that way for years, as well as when looking at them in the file explorer for the program. Some big update went out for Dropbox recently, and how SPECIFICALLY in the dropbox folders I can no longer see my thumbnails. They are not online-only. I have triple checked. They are simply not showing. When I paste them onto my desktop, lo and behold they show again. This is entirely on the fault of the recent Dropbox update and I don't know how to fix it. It has disrupted my workflow and has be looking into new backup options when I've been using Dropbox for almost 15 years. Can someone please help?953Views2likes34CommentsIt'd be nice to have a way to locate duplicated files.
It would be great to have a duplicate finder or a duplicate alert - so if a photo file with the same exif data was uploaded, there was a notification. I'm sorting through old stuff currently and found a few duplicates and this would same me lots of time !86Views0likes1CommentHow do I stop photos appearing in my timeline?
Hi, Sorry if this has been asked thousands of times and/or is readily answered online but the answers I’ve found tell me to use a Dropbox vault which I believe has recently been withdrawn, Summarily my wife and I have some rather personal (!?!) photos and videos saved on Dropbox which we don’t want our children to see if they open the app on our phones to look at holiday pictures or whatever, and currently although we’ve moved said items to an unshared folder the images still appear in the photos timeline. Please can someone tell me how to hide them from the timeline and hopefully even password or pin protect the folder we’ve put them in, similar to the ‘Hidden Folded’ on an iPhone? Thanks in advance for any help and advice….126Views0likes3CommentsWhich plans have access to OCR search?
There seems to be a lot of confusion and contradicting info out on the web about what your platform is capable of and at what service level needs to be subscribed to in order to search files in Dropbox using OCR text. I'm hoping this thread will assist me and others to get a clear answer. First, please specify which of these Packages have access to OCR search capability. Basic/Plus/Professional(essentials?)/Family/Standard/Enterprise. Second, What file needs to be supplied in order for it to work. What are the Requirements we need to follow for it to function? For instance, Can we upload our own PDF files with or without OCR previously applied? Do we need to use your special mobile scanning app, etc.... Thank you in advance, Dave.Solved257Views0likes6CommentsI’m not seeing an option to add a watermark to my photos.
I tried to follow the instructions for adding a watermark to our photos. I am the owner of the file. I was able to preview and then click "watermark." At that point I did not see any option for text or image. How do I create the watermark and apply it to our photos (basically want to add our name to the bottom of the photo.) Thanks!Solved4KViews0likes12CommentsCorrupt Files when moving files from folder to folder (iPhone images saved with ".")
Using windows 11, I manage my drobox files in my windows folders with dropbox app installed. I drag and drop all "2023" or all "2022" files to a respectively named folder, however because these images are iphone images they contain a "." in the name, and this "." has caused some files to corrupt when moving to a folder. As I was bulk moving the files, I did not look into the folder until a month or so later to go and edit, this is when I saw the problem, 2.5k files corrupted, either as a UFO symbol or as a PDF, and because this action happened more than 30 days ago I can not restore the previous version of the files 😞 I am very confused as to how this as happened, surely there would be a warning system in place for the "."? Does anyone have any way to restore these files?>765Views0likes3CommentsAdd editing features to Video Preview within dropbox
