52 TopicsCan I view symlinks on the mobile iOS app?
Hi. I've had to move all my files to my local/internal hard drive and use symlinks within dropbox to keep them backed up but now i cant access any of them remotely. The reason for moving them is because it was causing me all sorts of issues when running the files directly from within dropbox / file provider. Does anyone know a way of symlinks being possible to view within the iOS app or website? Thanks83Views0likes3CommentsTranscript option not showing for videos.
Hi. I am having trouble accessing the transcript feature in Dropbox. The Transcript button in the toolbar and the Transcript section in the sidebar are not visible on my end. I've already tried: Different browsers Incognito/private windows Refreshing and re-uploading But the transcript still isn't showing for any video. Is there a known issue with this feature, or is there something I need to adjust on my end? Thanks in advance for your help.76Views0likes4CommentsUploading albums from Apple Photos to Dropbox for Back up
Hi I am trying to sort out cloud storage for my photos. They are on Apple Photos on a Mac running Sierra 10.12.6. I already have an external harddrive on which they are regularly backed up. What I want to do is copy all of my photos and videos and have them on a cloud. I want to export them in albums/ year groupings and I don't want the "library" to transfer to dropbox as I know that doesnt work and can lead to photo loss. I want to keep all of the original Photos library on my desktop. What Ive been doing is creating albums in Photos, selecting then dragging and dropping into folders I have created in Dropbox in my finder on my Mac. Does this just copy them or am I moving the original from the Photos library to the Dropbox? I don't like the way ICloud works so I'm trying to find a solution for that unlikely but possible total failure of local harddrive and local backup. I also want the possibility to delete things locally but still have a backup if I've messed up. Thanks for any insights KateSolved24KViews0likes10CommentsHow to download 500GB from Dropbox online and then add to iCloud?
My company has blocked Dropbox so I’m being forced to move to iCloud instead. This means I need to migrate anll my data/pictures etc to iCloud. Challenge is that the blocking is already done so I cannot download my content and then upload it to iCloud. I’m looking for a way to populate iCloud from my online Dropbox file store. Help, please!

Hi, I have some albums of very precious photos created and stored on Photomyne (online). I would like to move them into my Dropbox, but can't work out how to do it. I have the option of downloading them from Photomyne onto my laptop, and then I imagine from there I will be able to move them to Dropbox, but I don't have enough storage on my laptop to do them all at once. And it would be laborious to do each one and then delete it to do the next? I am not very tech savvy but wonder if there is a way to transfer them directly to Dropbox? and if so can it be explained in very simple terms please? many thanks.Solved385Views0likes8CommentsUsing Dropbox for wedding
I am currently organizing my wedding. One of the ideas that I have is providing guests with a QR code that direct them to my dropbox. The intent is for them to take pictures on the big day and upload them to the file so that after the wedding I can transfer the pics to shutterfly to make a book. When I asked a friend to try the process she was able to get to the file and was able to look at the pics that I have in there. She however was not able to load any of her own into the account and got the notification " this folder is view only". Is there any way that I can change the settings so that everbody that access the QR code can upload pics?Solved10KViews0likes8Comments"Save as" results in Error "API function "files/list_folder""

I am a professor a University of Florida (UF). We have a business Dropbox account through UF (I cannot use this community with that account for some reasons, so I am writing from my private one). I work often from home. All my data and my students' data (Many GBs and TBs) is constantly synced with Dropbox. Fiber was just installed in my neighborhood, and I am debating between 1Gbps and 5Gbps speed. The latter is 50% more expensive, but I would pay for it if Dropbox is able to handle Gbps uploads and dowload speeds. If not, there is not really much of a point, 1 Gbps is more than enough for all the other things I do. Thank you Best A64Views0likes1Comment
