16 TopicsEditing PDF'S on a Xiaomi tablet ? Works fine on Windows, Mac, iPad, but not on this Tablet.
Has anyone managed to get the edit a PDF working on a Xiaomi tablet? (I am on MIUI 14.0.4) Editing PDF's from within the dropbox website works fine on Windows, Mac, iPad, using any browser. However on this Xiaomi, I have tried 5 browsers, and none of them will show the "Edit" menu item at the top when the PDF is open. Did not want to go down the the path of launching a PDF edit app, one of the other guys has tried this with mixed results. Native editing in Dropbox, like i can do on iPad would be best.Solved10KViews0likes22CommentsCan no longer save current or new MS word or excel file on dropbox with android devices.
I can no longer save current or new Ms word or excel files on dropbox, when I try and do so I get "Can't edit - This file is read-only. To edit it, first save a copy of the file". I get this even on brand new files never saved before, when I select Save a copy it comes up with the same meesage again. It works fine with my laptop just my phone and tablet are having the issue.

How to select and copy multiple files at once.

I want to believe itās possible, and I just missed how to access the functionality. Any feedback is appreciated it. Thanks. m.Solved3.8KViews0likes8CommentsCan you allow for more app choices for the "Open With" in your iPadOS?
Can you allow for more app choices for the "Open With" in your iPadOS. Right now Adobe Acrobat Reader is the only option for pdf and it is unsuitable for my needs. (And it is hard to open DB files within other iPad apps because these apps have no search access to DB.)2.2KViews0likes9CommentsSimple Drag and Drop on iPad app to move files
Ok - Iām on the Dropbox Plus on Ipad. I collect a LOT of images that Iām continuously moving from one folder to another within Dropbox. Generally itās great - I just Drag it to the appropriate folder and it moves over! Awesome! BUT ⦠when I need to go back (even a single level) in the file tree - I have to go through the whole āmoveā process ⦠and navigate from scratch to find the folder it is in! * HOW DO I drag UP - so it goes to the previous folder?? * OR See the File Tree in Columns (like in the Files App - which unfortunately has a host of other limitations Alternatively - are there settings or add-ins that can: * have a list of favourite folders as a starting point that you can GO TO - as opposed to the automatic ārecent foldersā list - which go to that exact folder (it just āchucks the file inā) Any ideas would be fantastic My current work-around: * Yes - the search feature when moving is a huge blessing, but Iām sorting hundreds of images into different categories * Sometimes I just save it back to Photos, and re-drag it to the correct spot on my next sorting round. * Iāve yet to try using Dropbox and Files apps in Split screen - Iāll try that next. but am I missing something blatantly obvious?1.7KViews0likes3CommentsWhat options are available on the iPad to edit photos?
I can access my dropbox on the ipad app, select an image, (I assume cloud image), select "Edit". There are only two options, "crop and rotate". Then when I do a "save changes" 1. There is no option to do an "undo" and 2. Does it save an edited copy and keep the original? Because, when I download the image to the IPad there are a lot more edit options, including the "Undo" option. Is this the way it is meant to work?Solved858Views0likes3CommentsImpossible to select texts on Dropbox iPad
I am finding it very difficult to select texts, impossible to "select all" texts on a document in Dropbox iPad. So say I have a MS Document stored on dropbox, I want the select all the text to be copied and then pasted elsewhere. It's very tedious as the selection while dragging the cursor often get stuck midway. If I want to "select all", it can't be done also. I know desktop works but I need to perform certain tasks on iPad for my work. Anyone knows how to overcome the above?856Views0likes3CommentsFiles in my file app are suddenly Password Protected & I can't edit them, using my iPad.
Hello. I am accessing my dropbox files in the Files App on my iPad, iPadOS 17.4.1. They were working fine until this morning, and now my files, when I try to edit them with my Apple Pen, are asking for a password. I did not set the password. There were no Apple updates or Dropbox updates last night. Files from iCloud and other apps do not have this problem, just DropBox. I can access and edit the dropbox files from my Mac (with no password), but not my iPad. I have been on the phone with support from my bank b/c they were bank statements, but the bank never puts passwords on downloaded statements. I also contacted Apple and we did a number of different things. Finally, she realized that the only files with the problem were Dropbox. I'm not sure if something happened last night, but suddenly things are different. I am grateful for and appreciate any information people can give me.818Views0likes1Comment
