489 TopicsEditing PDFs in Dropbox from my iPad
I'm trying to edit/markup PDFs that I have stored in Dropbox from my iPad. I'm using an Apple Pencil that's capable of "markup." The adobe integration was meant to be the answer for this; however, Adobe is now charging extra for the ability to edit. Apple allows you to edit Dropbox PDFs nicely through files; however, this seems to be hit or miss as sometimes the files won't open or get re-directed to Dropbox. Are there other ways to edit PDFs from the iPad and have it sync with Dropbox? This would seem like it should be a top priority for an added feature. OneDrive, for example, has the functionality built directly into their app. Any help would be much appreciated.Solved40KViews9likes12CommentsUnable to rename a file after copying it from another file
Hi, I created a copy of a file in my dropbox folder using the Macos Finder. However, I am now unable to rename the new file via the Finder. I can rename via the command line (`mv` command), but that's not really a great situation. Also, if I try to delete the file, it asks me if I want to permanently delete it, instead of the expected behavior which is to move it to the trash. Can you help me understand why this happens, and how to avoid it? Thanks!1.3KViews5likes4CommentsReplace thumbnail on a video upload
Hello, I am uploading demo videos to share with clients. The thumbnail / static image on each video is random and is not taking the first image (which is a title card). I am getting awkward shots of our speakers in the still images, and they are not the most attractive thumbnails to share with clients. Is there any way to choose what screen the thumbnail comes from and/or replace this image? Thank you!4.8KViews5likes9CommentsThe ignore folder feature is not working.
I can confirm that I'm seeing the same behavior that cabreu described: ignored folders don't get synced BUT the dropbox app continues to monitor them anyway and performs some level of processing whenever files are added/removed/edited from inside ignored folders đ© Unfortunately this all but defeats the purpose of an "ignore" feature for many of us. We need dropbox to truly ignore (i.e. do not react to changes within) certain folders to preserve system resources.9.4KViews5likes28CommentsDropbox new organized photo experience
I already use Dropbox as my main place to store and back up all of my photos. I intentionally donât keep photos on my phone to avoid using device storage, so everything lives in Dropbox. The challenge is that my photos are now scattered across many folders, because folders are currently the only way to organize them. While this works for storage, it makes it hard to browse, rediscover, and enjoy my photos the way I can in a native Photos app. What I would love is a dedicated Photos section inside Dropbox that treats photos as photos, not just files in folders. What this Photos experience could include: A Photos tab (separate from folders) Automatically surfaces all photos stored anywhere in Dropbox Folder structure stays intact in Files, but Photos are unified in one view (or maybe we can select which folders will be part of the photo section Date-based browsing View photos by date taken, not upload date or folder location Easily see: All photos from a specific year, Months, days, or events This would let me access all photos from one year in one place, without photos from other years mixed in Map view If photos include GPS metadata, show them on a map Ability to zoom into countries or cities and see photos taken there This would make travel photos especially easy and enjoyable to explore Filters and smart views Filter by: Date range, Location, Media type (photos vs videos), Smart groupings like: âAll photos this yearâ âTravelâ âFavoritesâ Gallery-style experience Clean grid view with zoomable thumbnails, Date headers, Album creation without needing to reorganize folders This would allow me to keep using Dropbox as my primary photo storage solution, while also having a modern, intuitive photo browsing experience, similar to native phone photo apps, without relying on phone storage. Since many users already store large photo libraries in Dropbox, a native Photos experience would unlock much more value from content thatâs already there125Views4likes2CommentsPhoto AI Index search & Detection
Please pass this on to your engineers, please incorporate photo indexing where I can select someone's face and have Dropbox search through all my photos and find all the associated photos. But don't limit it to just human beings but let it be anything. Please incorporate this feature. Because there's so many pictures and or videos i want to delete but i have hundreds of thousands of photos to go through and it's impossible to do so. Also, it be cool if i can choose someone's face and have the option to "delete" their face in the group photo.124Views4likes1CommentOption to rename a file before uploading through the iOS app is not working
Suddenly today (and for the first time ever that I can remember) the RENAME button in the iPhone app upload is dead (does not work). Help please - I need to rename before uploading anything to Dropbox. Thanks, amcofficeSolved600Views4likes17Comments'Search by tag' not working
I have applied tags to my photos, but the tags are not showing up in the search bar. When I perform the search, I get results that I assume Dropbox's image classifier has unhelpfully recognized as related to my tag search, but I am not able to filter results that actually have that tag. I have cleared my cache, used Firefox and Chrome browsers (most recent versions), I have used the browsers in incognito/private modes, used Windows and macOS operating systems (most recent versions), and tried searching via my desktop file explorers. Nothing works. I have not tried to move the photos into a new folder to tag them there, because the entire point of adding tags was to filter photos that I wanted to move in the first place.Solved8.5KViews4likes19Comments
