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.

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.308Views1like4CommentsOption to translate any document directly from the mobile app
Hello, today I noticed while reading a file in a foreign language that if I click on a word or a text, it is not possible to translate the text, it is a real shame because it would be a very useful function, especially today considering that artificial intelligence is present everywhere. I would find it really useful if with a click you could translate documents, pdf files etc...208Views0likes6CommentsOption 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 consideration208Views3likes2CommentsOption 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?!159Views2likes3CommentsUse monospace font when visualizing txt files in the mobile app for Android
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.151Views3likes2CommentsSearchability of media content: Efficient evaluation of videos, photos and audio files
It would be desirable to make the content of videos, photos and audio files searchable. We have customers in the music industry with extensive video archives (for example, concert recordings from the last 20 years). The ability to search all videos for specific scenes or content, for example for a compilation of a band's 20th anniversary, would make work much easier. This function could easily be transferred to other industries, such as advertising agencies looking for content in their archive for a showreel, or video productions sifting through the raw material for video editing. Example search term: man eating ice cream Result: Dropbox searches certain videos for all scenes in which a man is eating ice cream.124Views0likes3CommentsBypass 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.116Views1like4CommentsAllow us to use bold/italic/underlines for the textbox etc fields in Dropbox Sign templates.
There is no selection to change fields to Bold/ Italic/ Underline which are basic functions for letter template. Is it possible to allow these formatting to fields like textbox, date signed etc in the creation of dropbox sign template?104Views0likes2Comments
