Device TCL NxtPaper 14 Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Android 14 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) 454.2.2 Syncing Status Up To Date Question or Issue I am using Dropbox on my TCL NxtPaper 14, along with the app Nutrient PDF Viewer Pro to edit and annotate PDFs on Dropbox. Whenever I use the app, it corrupts the PDF on Dropbox. Editing PDFs on other cloud services with the same app does not give me any issues.97Views0likes4CommentsCan I edit a text (*.txt) file in Chrome browser?
Hi there, I'm struggling to edit a TXT file in Chrome browser on Dropbox. I'm sure I've done it with a .docx file before. When I search for this feature, Google returns results asking for it back to 2012, but there's nothing recently, the feature requests such as this one have been closed, so I'm assuming I'm having an issue with my account. Especially since Dropbox is pushing Family plans, signature, and other feature way more complex and less universal as a simple TXT editor. I've been using link removed it has looked the same for years and works fine, but I find it extra weird that a giant company like Dropbox doesn't have a similar feature. How do you usually edit a TXT file in the browser? I only have a few lines to add/remove, when I'm on a machine without the Dropbox app/daemon installed, and don't want to leave any file traces on that machine. See my environment in Chrome on a Macbook air, as a Dropbox Plus paying client. On TXT files, I have an "Open in" Menu, but the arrow only opens a 2px high line. This is definitely not expected behavior, as if the submenu was empty, it should not appear with an arrow in the first place. What could I be I missing here?Solved12KViews1like22CommentsIs it possible to use Dropbox as a network drive?
I am running an office with 8 people. We all need real time access to mainly word docs and PDFs. We have been operating as a private network of 8 desktops all linked together with one desktop being the server. Now we want to have mobile access. So the idea is to move all our files to a cloud like drop box and then use drop box as our main hard drive that all our computers can access and save too and modify and in real time. I think this would require us to map Dropbox as a network drive on all our computers. Is this something that can be done and will there be lag time when saving or modifying documents? If this can’t be done with drop box is there another way to do this so we can all have mobile access to our files in real time?Solved5.5KViews0likes2CommentsCan I automatically rename multiple files at once?
I've imported 100 files and would like to highlight them all and rename them all Ashland Vacation 1, Ashland Vacation 2, Ashland Vacation 3, etc. Is there a way to automatically do this? I don't want to click and rename 100 individual files. Thanks.Solved25KViews2likes5CommentsSharing a folder and giving someone editing access, but I don't want them affecting my photos.
I want to share a folder that contains photos and I'd like the person I'm sending it to to have editing access so they can save to their own personal folder and be able to edit, crop or send the photos to others. If they make changes to any of the photos, are the changes only in their personal folder on their PC, or do their edits also appear in my folder, or affect the photos in my personal Dropbox folder. I am the owner of the file. I don't want their edits to affect my original photos in any way. I did not see this answer online. Thank you.Solved6.6KViews0likes7CommentsFile will only open in Excel Online
Hi! I work from home and share an excel file with other employees. We all make edits to the file and save it so others can see. Typically when I open files, I choose to open them on my desktop and not online. However, this file does not give me the option to open it on my desktop. When I click open, it immediately tries to open it through Excel Online. However, the file is too big, so Excel Online can't open it. So now I can't open the file at all. Please help me with this. Thanks!Solved16KViews0likes4Comments
