I was uploading files from my external drive to the Dropbox website, and they're all missing.
I have been uploading files/folders to my new Dropbox account and have an external hard drive that I've been uploading to Dropbox. I've been doing it slowly, one folder at a time or several files at a time. Yesterday I attempted to upload a file with lots of videos - this was a Photography class with video lessons. It showed that it was going to take a long time, not unexpected, and I let it run all day. Several times, I lost internet connection, once I was back online though, it continued to upload and there didn't seem to be any problems so I disconnected the internet last night, assuming I could reconnect this morning and it would continue uploading my files. The screen that shows files being uploaded in Dropbox was gone and although a majority of the files were uploaded, not all were. When I went to the external hard drive, those files were also missing. As of right now, I don't know if I've lost them permanently. If so, people need to be aware of this, that there is a chance that you will lose files.....I have no way of getting these files back. To know: I was uploading files through Dropbox online, not the Dropbox app on my laptop. I did not want these files to be available offline in the Dropbox app but I did not have that set up that way and can not figure out how to do it although I've tried through many resources. My VPN was on. Has anyone else gone through this? Any solutions?
I added files from my external hard drive to my computer, but now they're gone.
I transferred pictures from an external hard drive to my computer and when I removed the drive, half of my files were gone. They are not in recently deleted, I tried previous versions. They are nowhere to be seen. I want the file to be restored to 12/30/24. Can someone please help? Chatbot is not available.Files keep disappearing from my folders, after uploading them to Dropbox.
Whenever I transfer files from my desktop into my Dropbox, they appear to move successfully initially, then a couple days later the files are no longer available in Dropbox. The folders that I transferred are there, but they're 100% empty. All the files are gone. Anybody know why this is happening or how to prevent it?
How to Access Dropbox on PC to Delete Photos once Storage is Full
I currently have the Basic Dropbox plan. In the midst of uploading photos to Dropbox on the PC, the storage is now full and will not let me access Dropbox to delete/move files. I do not want to upgrade my plan as I plan to move all of the photos from Dropbox to my other photo files. How can I access Dropbox when the storage is full without upgrading? Thank you.photo managing and upload automatic from phone
Hi everyone, I am looking for a smart way to store and manage photos in dropbox. What I currently do is separating in "albums" the pictures I take with my phone (android - xiaomi 12 pro). And then every month or so I plug my usb cable "phone-to-laptop" and manually upload these "albums" from the phone to the dropbox website, in a folder that I've created where I've organized the pictures in subfolders by year, activity etc... This folder is only online. A quite vintage operation, I am aware of that. So I am here to ask some advice either to automatize this uploading process or improve it in other ways. I have seen that there is a "Photo" application in my dropbox but there is a bunch of images which looks like have just been thrown there without any order (looks like the order is "by last modified date") and is not what I want (or anybody, I guess). So, to wrap up, is there a way to upload the phone's photo albums/folders in dropbox while keeping the possibility to delete the photos from the phone and still have them in the cloud? Thanks folks
Renaming easy before filing to dropbox
When sending a picture to dropbox, the option to change name is including the file ending (type/suffix) like jpg or heic. To avoid changing that one has to manually select only the name and then save. Two extra unnecessary irritating steps. Only the name should be preselected. Please fix 🤓
