12 TopicsAllow editing of Dropbox Capture transcription (and thus closed captions)
I am trying out Dropbox Capture. Unlike Loom, there appears to be no capacity to edit transcripts and associated closed captions. Surely I am mistaken! The ability to edit a transcript (with flow-on effects to closed captions) is integral to reliable video production. Please remedy. I won't be using DB Capture until that is done.5.1KViews7likes14CommentsEdit text file in browser
Hi, it would be *really* useful to be able to edit .txt (text) files in browser. There are several threads asking for this, and it's possible in the Dropbox apps on mobile. Please support light weight text editing in browser. I can sign, save, download, upload, etc. I just want to change one word in a file without doing that. Please help! I am often on a work computer and want to edit my files in dropbox, but only option is web interface, and that doesn't have an edit feature.

I find it very useful that the Android app has a built-in viewer and editor for txt files, but I really NEED the font to be monospaced because there are eg. tables and other manual alignments. The font is currently proportional, with no way to change it. I notice this has been requested before (but for the iOS app) with no clear resolution - https://www.dropboxforum.com/idea/101002013/dropbox-app-text-in-monospace-font-on-ios/310261 . Please use a monospaced font for txt files. Even on the www.dropbox.com web site, the built-in txt editor already uses a monospaced font.151Views3likes2CommentsOption to convert PDF files to Word in Dropbox
Being able to convert pdfs to word within dropbox would save so much time and less frustrating when its going to get saved to dropbox anyways. the security alone through you guys makes me feel a lot more comfortable dealing with HIPPA related documents without any worries. i know in the past it was brought up but did not gain any traction to make it happen. I'm hoping it will be different this time. the link to previous post is the following: https://www.dropboxforum.com/idea/101002013/file-conversion---pdf-to-word/609479 Thank you for the consideration208Views3likes2CommentsAllow us to watermark multiple selected photos at once.
Currently the only two options in Dropbox is to watermark a photo 1 by one, opening the photo, selecting watermark, and then configuring the watermark on the photo and then saving. Or you have the option to add a watermark to entire folders. There is no option to just select multiple photos in a folder and apply a watermark. If I am dealing with multiple folders each day with 60 pictures in each and need to watermark 40 out of the 60, my only option is to spend an hour watermarking them one by one. There should be savable watermarks, so if I select multiple pictures to watermark I do not have to input watermark inputs every time and just simply select a saved input. Instead of suggesting work arounds, Dropbox should actually implement features to make user interaction much easier.77Views2likes1CommentOption to automatically lock a file.
We constantly have issues with conflicted copies! Yes - even though there is the badge that shows up, and even though file locking is an option if done manually. I've done research and MANY other systems support this feature. I've been a long-time Dropbox user, but am looking aggressively at changing due to this issue. It shouldn't have to be a manual process to prevent someone else from opening the same file I am currently working on and saving a conflicted copy. Who would remember to do a manual file lock each and every time they open a document?!159Views2likes3CommentsPersistent Indicator for Files with Unresolved Comments
Currently, Dropbox shows a comment notification only when a comment is new or unread. Once the comment is read, the indicator disappears even if the comment is not resolved. This makes it hard to see which files still require attention. I would like Dropbox to introduce a persistent visual indicator (badge, icon, number, highlight, or any small marker) that appears whenever a file has unresolved comments, regardless of whether they have been read already. Why this matters: Teams use comments for review and approvals. After reading a comment, there is no quick way to see that the file still needs action. Users must open each file and check the comments panel to find unresolved comments. This leads to missed feedback and slower collaboration. How it could work: Show a small badge next to the file name in the file list when unresolved comments exist. In the file preview, show a subtle “unresolved comments” indicator even if all comments are read. User impact: This would help teams working with shared documents by making outstanding work visible at a glance, reducing mistakes and speeding up reviews.69Views1like1CommentBypass Request Permission to Join Folder on "anyone with the link can edit" folders
It would be helpful in certain situations to be able to bypass the the "request permission to join folder" prompt when sharing a folder via a anyone with the link can edit permission. We already set the link to be anyone with the link. If they have the link, I'd like them to be able to edit the folder. This is already how it behaves in individual accounts.117Views1like4CommentsEasier editing of PDFs on mobile
It would be really useful if a couple of things were added to the editing of PDFs when using a mobile device. - For one, a simple way to add something like a tick or a cross would be really useful. - The ability to copy and paste any edits. - The ability to draw, like you can when editing on desktop.308Views1like4Comments
