Tell Us How You Use Dropbox
No two people use Dropbox in exactly the same way. Some of you rely on it every day for work, others for school, creative projects, or keeping life organized - and we love that. Weâd love to hear how youâre using Dropbox today - is it something you use once in a while, is it part of your day to day, are there any features you canât live without? What workflows have you built that save time or reduce friction? And where do you see opportunities for us to do better? Your tips, ideas, and honest feedback really help us to make sure we can share useful tips, and they help other community members discover new ways to get more out of Dropbox too.

Make Dropbox compatible with Linux ARM processors
When I searched for this, I found this suggested several months ago for the purpose of Raspberry Pis. That suggestion was closed for inactivity. I had been using Dropbox in my Linux virtual machines on Mac with Intel processors for quite a long time. I just got my first Mac machine with Apple Silicon and was so disappointed this didn't work in the Linux VM on the ARM64. I depend on ability to share between the Virtual Machine and other devices connected to Dropbox for several of my workflows, and currently must use the Dropbox website to download, make my change, delete the online copy, then upload it again while in the Linux Virtual Machine. And hey, it sounds like adding this would help the Raspberry Pi folks too!
Mac OS â files duplicated in Dropbox folder cannot be renamed or moved, just deleted.
To those Mac and Dropbox users still suffering this annoyance, there is a slightly easier way to resolve it than having to repeatedly quit the Dropbox app. In a Mac desktop window, click on the folder containing the duplicated file. Right click or ctrl click it. In the pop-up menu select 'Make available offline'. That resolves the issue for me for all files in that folder. It's as if Dropbox is unable to set the default for duplicated files on Mac to 'Available offline', even though that option is selected in 'Sync and storage'.
Implement a "No all" option to skip when uploading duplicate files
App, Android Wenn beim runterladen was schief geht und nicht alle Dateien mitkommen, ok kann passieren. Aber: wenn ich dann nochmal den Download anstoĂe und dann ja einige Dateien schon vorhanden sind, gibt es bei der Frage "ersetzen?" nur "ĂŒberspringen"(=nein) "ja" "ja, alle"! Wo ist das "nein, alle"?! So muss ich teilweise seeehr oft auf ĂŒberspringen klicken, bis endlich alle Fotos vollstĂ€ndig runtergeladen sind... Das kann's doch nich sein?! Nervt mich jetzt schon seit nem halben Jahr ungefĂ€hr und hoffe endlich mal auf Hilfe... English : If everything goes smoothly during the download and not all files are included, that can happen. But: when I initiate the download again and some files are already there, the "replace?" question only responds with "skip" (=no) "yes" "yes, all"! Where's the "no, all"?! So sometimes I have to click skip several times until all the photos are finally completely downloaded... That can't be right?! It's been bugging me for half a year now, and I'm finally hoping for some help... Update and repost, after this was closed: Oh no! I thought, that it would be in your to do list now... I would still like to have such an option and I am really waiting for it. Can't believe, that I am the only one missing this option đ„ČIntegrated Video Publishing & Distribution Platform
Dropbox already holds our video files. Dropbox Replay already lets us collaborate on them. The missing piece? A clean, professional way to publish and distribute them. The Vision Imagine approving a final cut in Replay and publishing it directly to a branded, ad-free video playerâhosted right from your existing Dropbox storage. No re-uploading. No third-party platforms eating into your budget. Just seamless delivery. Core Features Ad-Free Branded Player Custom player controls, your colors, your logo. Professional presentation without the clutter of platform ads or recommended videos pulling viewers away. Native Replay Integration Approve a video in Replay â publish with one click. The workflow stays inside Dropbox from raw footage to final delivery. Social Distribution Bridge Push to YouTube, Instagram, Vimeo, LinkedIn, and others from a single dashboard. Stop downloading, reformatting, and manually uploading to five different platforms. Unified Analytics View counts, engagement, and performance metrics across all platforms in one place. No more hopping between native analytics tools. Bandwidth-Based Pricing This is key. We're already paying for storage. Charging again for the same bytes doesn't make sense. Price tiers based on monthly bandwidth or views would be far more logical and competitive. Why This Makes Sense for Dropbox You've built the storage. You've built the collaboration layer with Replay. Video hosting is the natural third pillar â and it keeps users inside the Dropbox ecosystem rather than pushing them to Vimeo, Wistia, or others. For creators, agencies, and businesses already using Dropbox for video workflows, this would be a compelling reason to consolidate even further.

Allow multiple files to be un-starred at a time
I have a large number of files that are starred. There seems to be a limit of 2000 that can be starred before they then don't appear when you apply the starred filter (which is a ridiculous limit) Even more ridiculous is that I can't un-star multiple files at once - i have to un-star each file individually - which is going to take a long time if I have over 2000!! Please, please, please build the ability to un-star files in bulk. It beggars belief that this isn't already a feature and I have to ask for it.
