Turn Auto Play off for audio Files
Please add a way to stop audio files from playing instantly, as soon as you open them. On the Dropbox app, using an iPhone, the minute you open the file it starts playing. If you have previously played that audio file and paused it half way through, you can't stop it from playing in time to take it back to the start. We use Dropbox for our choir and keep our backing tracks and sheet music together. During a performance we need to make sure all the files have been returned to the start and we can't have them ready to go to press play.
Enable Emoji in file names.
I use emojiâs to help me find things quicker. I would like to add an emoji from the apple keyboard to the file folder name but when I click on rename and add the emoji it says âinvalid folder name...the folder name contains invalid charactersâ. Here is an example I wish to change âVehicles and DOTâ folder to say âđVehicle and DOTâ
Automatic Sync Preferences based on modified
Dropbox to allow a setting in the Preferences > Sync where a user can nominate a modified file date in the past (i.e 30, 60 or 90 days) where if the file modified date exceeds this. the files get automatically removed from the persons device allowing people to manage hard drive space more efficiently. Where the no files are left in the folder, the folder itself then gets removed from the device. To put it back on, the person would need to resync it and save it as a updated modified file.
Feature Request: Enable Bills, Receipts, Documents to be Automatically Stored in Dropbox
Imagine if Dropbox created a feature whereby a user could instruct Dropbox to automatically download bills, receipts, or certain other documents from a {SOURCE} when any designated {SOURCE} generates a new bill, receipt, or other allowed document type. WHAT IS BEING REQUESTED? Here's how this feature might work: User asks Dropbox to provision "Automatic Download Feature" for {LIST_OF_DOCUMENT_TYPES} from {SOURCE_X}. Example sources: banks, credit unions, brokerage accounts, insurance companies, utilities, Amazon.com & other retailers, credit card providers, mortgage companies, county tax authorities, payroll providers, cellular phone providers, cable TV providers, FasTrak, PayPal, Stripe, et al, and et cetera. If {SOURCE_X} is a "new" relationship, Dropbox establishes contractual, business, and technical relationships with the source provider. Dropbox & {SOURCE_X} enable user to grant appropriate permissions (e.g., authorization and access credentials), configure target Dropbox folders, et cetera. Whenever {SOURCE_X} generates a new instance of a supported document type for User, a copy is automatically sent to Dropbox (pushed by {SOURCE} or pulled by Dropbox) and filed in the user's designated DB folder(s). Users bask on the beach, drinking Mai-Tais, comforted by the knowledge that they have secure archives and are saving a significant amount of time. (Joyful rounds of Kumbya are optional.) IS THIS POSSIBLE? YES! FileThis, a very well-intentioned company, used to offer this service. UNLIKE DROPBOX, I suspect (and transparently admit I do not know) FileThis could not acquire a sufficient number of paying customers for the idea to be worth their while. This issue is unlikely to be a problem for Dropbox. Please help us, Obi-Box, you are our only hope! Thank you for considering this request.
Search and sort through images with facial recognition
Iâm in my final year of high school and my cohort has started a Dropbox to compile everyoneâs photos for the whole year. I think it would be really cool to be able to say find all the photos of me, or the photo of me and Person A. Similar of like how you can search by people on the Apple photos app. We have hundreds of photos and sorting through them is tedious. I think this could be a really cool idea.
