I have several “unread” messages from Dropbox which when opened or marked as read the “2” displayed above the icon will not go away. The marked as read button does nothing and there appears to be no way to delete the messages ? Using app on new iPad Pro.Solved14KViews9likes64Comments
Editing PDF'S on a Xiaomi tablet ? Works fine on Windows, Mac, iPad, but not on this Tablet.
Has anyone managed to get the edit a PDF working on a Xiaomi tablet? (I am on MIUI 14.0.4) Editing PDF's from within the dropbox website works fine on Windows, Mac, iPad, using any browser. However on this Xiaomi, I have tried 5 browsers, and none of them will show the "Edit" menu item at the top when the PDF is open. Did not want to go down the the path of launching a PDF edit app, one of the other guys has tried this with mixed results. Native editing in Dropbox, like i can do on iPad would be best.Solved10KViews0likes22Comments

".7z files can't be previewed" message
I have always been able to preview and extract .7z files on Dropbox. They are small 15 kb or less size files. Today when I attempt to access a .7z file, I am receiving the message ".7z files can't be previewed" . I checked the Help Center and under "File types that preview as a zip file". It states "If your file has one of the following extensions, it will preview as a zip file. You’ll be able to see a list of all folders and files within the zip." The .7z file type is included. What has changed? I am running version 346.2.6.Solved6.2KViews0likes6CommentsThird party app not correctly linking to file structure
We are using Bluebeam Revu for iPad which connects with Dropbox. It used to work just fine, but a few years ago Dropbox stopped showing the full file structure within the Bluebeam Revu for iPad app. I've been working with Bluebeam tech support off and on about this issue for this whole time, but they still can't figure out what the cause is. This does not happen with their other users. When in the Bluebeam Revu for iPad app, when we go to the cloud connections, where it connects with Dropbox, the Dropbox listing there only shows three folders and one loose PDF file. We have MANY, MANY more than that which aren't showing. For some reason, Dropbox will not sync the full file structure. It had worked fine from before October 2020, but after that it stopped syncing and showing the full file structure with Bluebeam Revu for iPad.Solved4.5KViews0likes19Comments

PC to iPad.
Scrivener and Dropbox offer this feature where you can back up your project onto Dropbox from your PC and resume your project on iPad and vice versa. I have backed up my Scrivener project onto Dropbox but there is no tutorial or article on how to open up my project on iPad so I can continue writing. Anyone have any answers for this?4KViews0likes1Comment
Dropbox App has disappeared from Kobo Forma
Hi, My Kobo Forma decided to factory reset itself on my way home from work today, so I had to reconnect to the internet and my accounts (Kobo & Overdrive). I had been reading some files in my Dropbox on it around lunchtime, and it was no problem. After the restart, though, I cannot find the Dropbox section in my Forma. I have contacted Rakuten, and they have not noted anything on their side that would have brought this on. I am very confused. Has anyone else seen their Dropbox disappear on their Kobo ereader and has anyone come across how to fix it?Solved4KViews0likes7Comments
