How to access your Dropbox through TV devices.
Dear Dropbox community, I would like to share my latest project with you, namely Dropbox MSX. Dropbox MSX is a service that allows you to access your Dropbox files (i.e. videos, audio files, and images) through TV devices. It uses the Media Station X application for visualization and the latest Dropbox API to browse and access files. I hope you enjoy using it and I would be very happy to receive feedback and ideas for improvement. For screenshots and more information, please see the showcase Dropbox MSX on this page: http://msx.benzac.de/info/?tab=Showcases Alternatively, please have a look at this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8T5XjKig6Jw Best regards, benzac

Wix Dropbox App going end of life?
Good afternoon, It would appear that Wix has chosen to drop the Dropbox App that allows visibility/access to specific Dropbox folders directly from a Wix site. Are there any alternatives that anyone is aware of that could support a real-time peering between a Wix website and a specific Dropbox folder to upload and download files? Thank you,

Tricks for exporting file names to an Excel spreadsheet as index.
I have tried Zappier and other automations for exporting folders, subfolders, and even the files names to an excel spreadsheet to create an index or guide, even with the link for an easier access. Can anyone share a way to do such export or copy paste hack?

I need to share multiple, large construction files during construction of homes. What is the best QR code generator you have found that works seamlessly with Dropbox? I don't mind a paid generator if it works the best!

Download Dropbox backup folder to synology
Dropbox backup keeps giving me an error that there are too many zip files when I u to download my root folder. It is a backup of an external hdd which was physically damaged. Since I cannot download the root with the web ui, could I use synology or another app to download the entire Dropbox backup folder with an app instead of a web browser?

You can back your WordPress website or blog with Dropbox
I'm a blogger, and I just recently started posting a lot of content on my blog. I've had bad experiences with WordPress relating to loss of data. Most times there used to be an error with WordPress updates, bad plugins, etc. So I installed a plugin on my WordPress dashboard that was supposed to help me backup my WordPress site. I was surprised to see an option that helped me back up my site to Dropbox automatically, even if I lost my data on WordPress, I could easily retrieve it from Dropbox 😊

Using the Dropbox & HelloSign integration
Making sure your tools are all connected and working as well as they can be is key to a good workflow. First of all, is HelloSign included with Dropbox? Yes! So let’s look at how you can connect Dropbox and HelloSign to get the most out of both. Connect Dropbox and HelloSign When you send for a signature through Dropbox, you’ll be prompted to connect your Dropbox and HelloSign accounts and accept the terms of service. If you don’t already have a HelloSign account, a free account will be created with the email address you use for Dropbox. If you already have a HelloSign account with the same email address as your Dropbox account, the accounts will be connected. After your accounts are connected, you’ll also be able to sign in to HelloSign.com by clicking Sign in with Dropbox. What can I do with HelloSign and Dropbox? Once you’re all connected, you can start sharing files for people to sign. You can read all about how to do that right over here. You can also learn how to cancel a signature request, and how to sign a document yourself. Once your signed files are complete, you and all signers will receive email confirmations. Your signed files automatically save to your Dropbox account, in the location you chose for that file and in your connected HelloSign account. If you delete a signed file from either Dropbox or HelloSign, it’ll still be saved on the other platform, so you always have a back up copy. If you delete the file from both, then it cannot be retrieved. What if someone hasn’t signed their form yet? Don’t worry, you don’t have to wait until someone signs a document to have it saved to your Dropbox account. While a file is waiting to get signed, an in-progress PDF version of the file is saved in the location in your Dropbox account you chose named “[file name] (in-progress).pdf”. Once the file is signed, that file is replaced with a new, signed PDF file named “[file name] (signed).pdf”. Start to finish, you have a record and a copy in your Dropbox account too. What else should I know about the HelloSign and Dropbox integration? If the HelloSign account you connected to Dropbox is on the limited free plan (which is the default plan), you can make three document transactions per month. You can track and manage your HelloSign signature requests directly from Dropbox. To get started, sign in to the HelloSign for Dropbox dashboard and: Find the file(s) you need by using the Search bar at the top. Click the Request signature button to request a signature. You’ll also get Dropbox and email notifications as your requests progress. Signed files take up space in your Dropbox account. If you run out of space in your Dropbox account while a file is in progress (waiting on a signature), you’ll see an error message and the signed version of the file will only save on HelloSign.com and not in Dropbox. Have you connected your Dropbox and HelloSign accounts yet? Tell us how you use HelloSign in the comments below!

Publish to social media from Dropbox!
Hello! My name is Amanda. My team is building a feature to help users publish videos to their final destination — whether that’s social media, YouTube, your website, or elsewhere. We hear this task is repetitive and tiresome, and you shouldn’t have to waste time downloading and uploading videos to multiple places. Starting today, you can publish videos and photos directly from Dropbox to Instagram and Facebook**. Simply open a video or photo on www.dropbox.com, and click "Publish". Soon, we’ll let you schedule posts in advance, and post to YouTube. Note: This feature isn’t widely available to all users yet — if you don’t see the Publish button, reply to this thread with “opt-in” and we'll give your account access. 😉 If you’d like to collaborate and help shape the future of this feature, reply with “I’m ok for Dropbox to contact me by email” and we will reach out. **You must have an Instagram Business account and a Facebook Page to publish from Dropbox. See this article for support. ***Update - this feature has been temporarily postponed and there is no longer an "opt-in" option for it. Thank you for your continued patience.***

Save a chrome bookmarks directly into Dropbox folders from Chrome
Hello. I access content in two main ways: 1) I save googledoc documents in my chrome browser within bookmarked folders 2) I save files within dropbox within folders This gets problematic because there are two different locations for my content that relate to the same thing. As an example, I'll save a contract draft that I created as a gdoc in a bookmarked folder. When it is signed, I'll create a pdf and save it into Dropbox. But now two related files are in different locations. Is there a way to create a folder within the Chrome Bookmark bar that saves bookmarks directly into the dropbox folder? This way I can have all documents in the same place. Thank you.
