How to set the default zoom level for PDFs?
When opening a PDF to edit, Dropbox always opens the document at a 99% zoom level, which is way to small for the text on any of these documents. I always tick it up to about 130% zoom so I can read the smaller text. Adobe Acrobat has a setting for a default zoom level but I can't find any such setting with Dropbox. Does it exist?
Searching keyword terms on the website and getting no results
I am hoping to migrate to Dropbox from Canto, but one of the few important features I need is the ability to search by tags. I don't see any simple way of creating tags en masse with an import, but the files exported all have tags showing in the file keywords. I figured I could then just search for a keyword, so I went with "stand against" - a term I have on a few hundred files. The screenshot below is a file with that shown in the keywords. Here is me searching that term: There are no filters at all, just one term. I tried quotes around the term(s), and used several other keywords as well. I haven't been able to get any result searching for keywords listed in my file details. Are keywords not a searchable field? The Dropbox helpdoc titled "How to search your Dropbox files" at /view-edit/search says it is, but I'm not seeing that in reality. Is there something I'm doing wrong here? Is there perhaps another way to better tag photos on an import (from Canto)? I'm doing this on dropbox.com / via chrome and firefox on windows.
Cannot scroll down in camera uploads (Windows browser)
Anyone else having this issue? When I go to the "camera uploads" folder on the desktop browser interface, if I scroll down one or more screens, then it immediately jumps back to the top of the page. Therefore I cannot scroll down, and cannot access any photos that do not appear on the first page. I'm using chrome Version 132.0.6834.160 (Official Build) (64-bit). I tried clearing my cookies and that did not solve it. I also tried in chrome incognito mode (no cookies) and that did not solve it. Also tried in Firefox version 134.0.2 (64-bit). I am running Windows 11 build 26100.2894Search in file name vs file contents
The Dropbox search feature searches both the filenames and also the file contents, and then randomly combines the results, thereby rendering the final results unusable for many purposes. This is the same serious issue that petholla mentioned in the original thread from 2019, and it still needs to be fixed after all these years: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/View-download-and-export/Search-in-filename-only/td-p/353242 https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Delete-edit-and-organize/Search-in-filename-only-REDUX/m-p/722581
