6 TopicsA Year of Conversations: 2025 Community Wrap-Up
Hey everyone! What a year! I’ve loved chatting with you all throughout 2025 - hearing your favourite Dropbox features, clever hacks and the all the ways you use Dropbox to keep life running smoothly. This community is really pure magic. Every week, you jumped in to help each other, share tips and celebrate wins. We had loads of Community Members of the Month, plenty of Mighty Answer badges and so many “aha!” moments. And the stories! From photographers sharing galleries, to coders syncing across Windows and Linux, to the person who who said syncing across threes computers and two homes was “beautiful” - you all really kept the forums lively, helpful and fun! One iPhone user was especially happy with the 2025 Live Photos update, which finally let them migrate their whole collection smoothly. It was made even sweeter knowing the feature came directly from an idea shared right here in the community. And, I adored hearing how Dropbox helps in everyday life, like the member who said: We’ve had our fair share of community adventures this year, but we made it through together and every time I got to say “I am glad to see your issue was resolved”, it honestly made my day. Last year we gave the Community a fresh new look and glow-up, and we really appreciate everyone’s patience with the changes throughout 2025. It’s amazing to see how far we’ve come, and we’re even more excited for what’s ahead. There are some fab new updates and improvements coming in 2026… so stay tuned! A huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone who got involved in conversations this year. Those who asked questions, those who answered them, and those who felt comfortable sharing ideas, frustrations, clever workarounds, and even honest feelings about Dropbox. And of course, a special shout-out to our amazing Super Users …you’re absolute stars and this community wouldn’t be the same without you. So that’s it from us for 2025! Have a safe and happy time over the holiday period, and I’ll see you all in 2026806Views2likes0CommentsCommunity Member of the Month - October 2025

How Do You Make the Most of Dropbox?
Hey Dropbox Community, I wanted to share a delightful story that really highlights the creative ways people use Dropbox in their everyday lives, and it’s all about a business called Pound Cake Makeup💄. Imagine turning your passion into a thriving business, all while juggling the chaos of life. That’s exactly what the founder of Pound Cake Makeup, Camille Bell, did. Using Dropbox, she keeps her business organized - from managing product photos to sharing marketing materials and collaborating with her team, all seamlessly and from anywhere 🌍. It’s a perfect example of how Dropbox is a tool that empowers creativity and entrepreneurship 💡, no matter the size of your venture. Read more about Camille’s Dropbox Story here. What really struck me about this story is how technology can be a game-changer for small businesses and creatives. It’s not just about storage - it’s about connection, flexibility, and making sure your ideas and hard work can flow smoothly, even when life gets hectic. I’d love to hear from you all: 💬 How has Dropbox helped you bring your creative projects or side hustles to life? 💡 What unexpected ways have you found to use Dropbox that made your work or personal life easier? ✨ If you could add one feature to Dropbox to better support your creative or business needs, what would it be? Let’s get the conversation going and inspire each other with the many ways Dropbox can support our passions and projects 🎨🚀. Looking forward to hearing your stories and ideas.303Views2likes0CommentsCommunity Member of the Month - July 2025
