User unable to access Dropbox files when using InDesign.
Question or Issue We are experiencing a problem where a user is unable to access a Dropbox file through Adobe InDesign. The project folder contains two directories — one with the content files and another with the InCopy file. Dropbox shows that all data is fully synced. However, when the user attempts to open the content folder file directly from Dropbox in Adobe InDesign, the image frame loads but the linked text content does not, and an error message appears This issue does not occur when the files are downloaded locally. in that case, everything opens correctly. We have already verified that the files are synced and that the user has the necessary permissions. Could you please confirm whether this is a Dropbox-related issue and advise on how to resolve it?
How can I save a Dropbox backup folder to Google Drive?
Question or Issue I've been receiving OVER THE LIMIT emails for years now re: my dormant FREE DB ACCOUNT so I just went and transferred all of my DROPBOX files to my Google Drive. But I supposedly still have 340GB in a video file (folder, actually) sitting in my DROPBOX BACKUP folder. But no matter what I do it refuses to drag & drop into my Google Drive like I just did with all of my regular files and folders. How do I transfer that backup folder to my Google Drive or can I NOT transfer backup files and must just delete? Thanks in advance for the solution! CJG1
Display thumbnails for .procreate files on the iOS mobile app.
Hello all, I use Dropbox to back up artwork created with the iPadOS application Procreate. They use a proprietary format called .procreate, and I prefer to save in this format for maximum compatibility with the app if I decide to work on a particular piece again in the future. However, when browsing these files in the Dropbox app, no thumbnails are displayed, which makes it hard to differentiate between files (since I’ve neglected to give them descriptive file names, lol). I think this integration would be useful to many people who use Dropbox on iPadOS, because Procreate is a very popular app and digital art fills up storage really fast! I also think that this integration would be doable, if not trivial, for the following reasons: The native Files app can display thumbnails for .procreate files. People have made plugins to display .procreate thumbnails on MacOS, Windows, and Linux operating systems. The .procreate file format seems to just be a zip archive, so displaying a thumbnail would just be a matter of extracting the image from the archive. A Procreate developer on the Procreate forums stated that this integration would need to be done on Dropbox’s end. In conclusion, my workflow would be greatly enhanced by adding thumbnail support for Procreate files. :)
Broken links in InDesign files on macOS Monterey 12.3.1
Hi there, I've been happily working with Indesign files in Dropbox for a year now where my files are all stored Online Only. It used to be the case that Dropbox would automatically relink all the supporting files that are stored on Dropbox.com and I would be able to edit the InDesign file. Recently, upon opening an InDesign file all the links to picture files etc are broken. Added to that, when I try to relink the files through InDesign I get a message that reads: Import Failed! (see attachment). My Dropbox App says that the files I am trying to relink are all Zero Bytes. When I access my account at Dropbox.com the files are all good. The only way I seems that I can relink my files is if I download them to my iMac. I'm currently using Mac OS Monterey 12.3.1. Any ideas?Can't open encrypted files via Boxcryptor
W11: not possible anymore to open encrypted files via good (old) boxcryptor. no matter which filetype and when it was last changed. Was possible without any problems before the update for the last 8+years Installing non beta 185 doesn't solve this. Moving the encrypted folder out of dropbox everything is fine again. Maybe related to problem in mac, since there is no preview of files either https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-desktop-client-builds/Beta-Build-186-3-6103/td-p/722282
