Setting up the apps
22 TopicsWhy are my Dropbox folders not showing in the iOS Files app on my iPhone?
iphone 6 latest ios in dropbox ios app (and on Mac Desktop), both my DB accounts show up. In mail, go to "attach file" and no DB accounts show up in Locations. In ios Files, no DB accounts show up in Locations. This happened last time there was a major ios upgrade, and we had to stand around while DB blamed Apple. (Please join this with the same issue feedback I just sent, that DB just acknowlkedged with a link that I can't open using these credentials - add feedback to THIS Q&A please, not the other way around)Solved46KViews6likes21CommentsIn a "mdworker quit unexpectedly" loop after turning on Smart Sync
Ever since turning on Dropbox Smart Sync, Spotlight has been going nuts and using tons of CPU. The helper app "mdworker" is constantly crashing. Will report back after Dropbox finishes indexing all the Smart Sync files. PS. Funny you can't link Dropbox photos to the image uploader in this forum.Solved22KViews0likes102Commentsbrother printer/scanner cannot upload scanned document

I hope I'm asking in the right place. Did Dropbox do away with the "Enable Finder Integration" option? When it's *disabled* the image dimensions are displayed in the Finder with my pictures rather than "up to date"... That's what I want, to disable it. I don't want the big green check mark. I can't find the "Enable Finder Integration" option in preferences anymore.Solved14KViews3likes14CommentsSync specific photo album on iOS with Dropbox?
For my work, sometimes people tag our products on Instagram. I use an iOS Shortcut to save these photos onto my iPhone, and then I always save the photos in a specific photo album inside the native Photos app to keep it organized. However, when I work from my MacBook it’s sometimes a bit annoying that all of these photos are on my phone; not on my MacBook. So I use Airdrop to transfer them. It would be much easier if when adding the photo to the album on my iPhone, it would at the same time also be uploaded to a Dropbox folder. Is it possible to somehow just sync one iOS photos album with Dropbox? I tried the IFTTT Applet called "If new photo added to iOS album, upload to Dropbox" which sounds like exactly what I need, but it doesn't seem to work.Solved11KViews0likes8CommentsCan I install the desktop app in Raspberry Pi 4?
Hi, i'm trying to install dropbox in a raspberry pi 4 with raspbian lite (no X installed). The architecture (armhf) seems to not be supported (only debian, fedora, ubuntu with x86 32/64), I would like to use dropbox daemon to automatically sync my files using typical .dropbox-dist, as i do in other machines (ubuntu mainly). Is this possible on a raspberry pi ? I don't know if python projects could launch background jobs to sync files or if those tools are intended to be used on demand (download this, upload another thing, etc.). I tried pip3 install dropbox, as well as, apt-get install python3-dropbox. Not sure if they are same thing, and how to use. I have seen some projects like "github.com/andreafabrizi/Dropbox-Uploader.git" or "ExaGear Desktop", but this seems to miss that "dropbox daemon flavor" and i don't want X server (i prefer raspbian lite). Which would be the best approach ?Solved9.4KViews3likes4CommentsHow can I use Kindlebox to get my Kindle books on Dropbox?

In my Mac's System Preferences for iCloud, iCloud Drive has an Options button next to it. Clicking that shows a list of apps below a statement "Apps which can store documents and data in iCloud will appear here." Most are Apple apps like Mail, Calendar, and other Apple apps. And I understand why I would want to turn them on or off. There are also 2 or 3 third party apps as well, like my Calendar replacement, a PDF editing app, and a graphics app that can share files between my Macs so I can edit images anywhere. But Dropbox is listed here too. Can anyone tell me WHY it is here and WHAT it reads/writes to iCloud? There is nothing in the iCloud Drive that is obviously Dropbox related, and no items that are duplicated in the Dropbox folder. The iCloud Drive folder (as well as looking at them in a browser logged into iCloud) only shows folders Documents, Desktop, Downloads, Shortcuts, and those 3rd party apps. Dropbox is not one of them. Apps which appear here have to have iCloud functionality built in to them...not all installed apps appear here. So I'm trying to understand why Dropbox has this ability built in, and what it's for. And can I turn it off, or is it syncing some Dropbox settings between my Dropbox equipped computers on the same account? Does it have something to do with syncing photos (I do not use Dropbox's feature to backup my iPhone photos)? Below is a screenshot of Dropbox appearing in the iCloud Drive pane:8.8KViews4likes8CommentsCan I sync OneNote notebooks through Dropbox?
Just as the question says, can I have my ON notebooks sync through Dropbox? Instead of using OneDrive. I've been looking online and so far I've only found third-party apps and services that do it, not a straight up sync option. I haven't really used ON before, but I was exploring it as a posibility for my notes, since I use Dropbox for just about everything else and was not interested in having an extra backup service. Thank you.Solved8.4KViews1like3CommentsDropbox login problem on PocketBook
