I have the Dropbox app on my previous tablet, the Fire HD 10. At one time Dropbox was in the Amazon app store (analogous to Google Play store). It's not there any more. The Kindle is an Android device, but Google Play apps can't reliably be installed. I assumed I'd be able to install Dropbox on the newest Fire tablet. Not so. I spent an hour on the phone this afternoon with an Amazon CSR who ultimately told me that if an app isn't in the Amazon app store, you can't install it. Even though the Dropbox app is in my Amazon app library, I still can't download/install it on the new tablet. But I wouldn't expect him to know of a secret way to do it, or if he did know, to tell me. I can log in to Dropbox.com on the Kindle's Silk browser, but when I try to open a "paper," I get a message to download the app. 🙄 Yeah, that's what I'd like to do. I do have a Dropbox Plus paid subscription. It would be great if I could somehow transfer the app from my older Kindle to the new one. Can anyone help?299Views0likes4CommentsIs it possible to have multiple Dropbox windows open on iPad Stage Manager at same time?
I am wanting to open multiple Dropbox windows on Ipad Stage manager at the same time. I often have multiple documents stored in Dropbox that I want to have open at the same time. Not sure if there is a workaround for this or something that might be available in the future? Thanks312Views0likes2CommentsI'm having issues locating Dropbox as a path when accessing the Numbers & Files app on my iPad.
I’ve followed some other threads on this issue, but have not had success with the potential solutions offered there. I also didn’t see anything very recent, so figured I’d start a new thread. I seem to be having some issues with Dropbox integration with native iPad apps. My specific example: I can open an Excel file through the Dropbox app, but when I tried to use the Numbers app to access the file, I don’t see Dropbox as an option for file location. I also don’t see Dropbox as an option in Files or Excel. I have deleted and reinstalled Dropbox, restarted the iPad multiple times and ensured all apps have been updated, but to no avail. Any assistance is appreciated.248Views0likes1CommentApp sidebar gone out of the blue on Android?
Why did my Dropbox Android app sidebar disappear literally while I was editing a document and how do I get it back? I tried dragging from the left side, closing and reopening the app, no sidebar. It was there literally moments ago, and Google Play says the app hasn't updated in 4 days. 😕589Views0likes3CommentsLogging out from the app remotely.
we use dropbox on our PC desktop but primarily use it on our our phones and iPads. We were traveling in Europe and it occurred to us that there’s no automatic logout feature for dropbox that we could find, if we were currently logged in to our iOS device and it were stolen from us, someone could immediately get into the Dropbox app. it seems to me that’s serious security feature. I emailed support and they said they do not have a feature now so I wondered if the group had to work around. We use a password protection software on the devices it times out after the time range that you set. Any help is appreciatedSolved1.8KViews0likes6CommentsIs there a free version of Dropbox I can install on my iPad?
I use the free version of Dropbox on my MacBook and would like to share that folder on a newly purchased iPad (I've never used an iPad before). If I go to the iPad App Store and download it it seems to insist on doing a one month free trial for the subscription version. I'd like to stick with the free version however when I look it up on my iPad web browser and click on the DropBox offer to get the free version, once I login I appear to be in that shared folder *however* all of this is happening within a safari page, whereas I thought it was downloading and launching a free version of the app. Does this mean I can only access the contents of the dropbox folder via a browser page? Thanks.Solved1.7KViews0likes9CommentsAfter a Dropbox desktop app update, selected folders on PC don't appear on my tablet Dropbox
I want to share a few folders on my PC with my tablet. So i can acces the latest versions when i am not at home. This was working perfectly. I could click on a folder and select something. A little green v would be in the corner of the folder. And I could open the folder on my tablet dropbox app. (If i added something to te folder on my pc, it would be on the tabletapp also). On 11/4 the pc wanted to do a dropbox update, since i don't have my folders in the tabletapp anymore. Te green v is also not on the pc folders. If i rightclick on the folder i have only 2 dropbox options: send a copie, or move to dropbox. If i move to dropbox, the folder is gone from it's original location and is now in a new folder called 'dropbox' on my desktop. It has the green v AND i can see it on my tablet! BUT that way my folders are no longer in their original place. I have al lot of folders and i want it to be organised.446Views0likes2CommentsNew message notifications will not go away
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.Solved13KViews9likes64Comments
