Hey photographers, just popping by today to let you all know about the new Dropbox Replay group we launched a couple of weeks ago.    What is Dropbox Replay?   Repay is a tool that I am sure lots of you are already aware of and some of you may even already be using, particularly if you also dabble in the world of videography. It’s a video, image, and audio review tool that allows you to mark up, comment on, and finalize projects.   With Replay, you’ll be able to share your work with clients, team-members, colleagues, or collaborators and get feedback in real time without ever having to exit your browser. Saving you time and helping to keep your projects moving in the right direction and completely streamlining the entire approval process.           The Replay group will be a space where you can discuss your work, share your knowledge and experiences with Replay, and it'll also offer you the unique opportunity to connect directly with the Replay team and direct your feedback and ideas to the people in charge of the product.   Joining the Replay group   Joining the group is super easy; all you need to do is follow this link and hit the “Join Group Hub” button and you’re in! Hopefully, we’ll see some of you over there soon!       ... View more

Hey everyone,   I hope you're all doing well and feeling creative. I just wanted to let you all know about some awesome new updates to the folder automation features that I thought would be really cool for photographers.   You'll now be able to configure multiple automations on selected folders and subfolders to automatically rename files, add watermarks, and more. You can find out more about these automations and how to get started with them by reading this post.   Do you think these automations will improve your workflow and save you time? Let us know what you think by leaving a comment below.     ... View more

My wife keeps the pictures of our two year old daughter synced with dropbox. We want to share pictures of her with our large extended family, but we also don't want to post the pictures to social media. I created an app that takes dropbox folder and creates a secured online photo gallery for your friends and family.   https://www.producthunt.com/posts/myphotos-by-gembani ... View more

Happy New Year to everyone. After a long debate about storage options, I decided to start using Dropbox as the online option where I can access photos anywhere in the world. However, I am not sure what is the best workflow, opportunities and limitations if editing is done in Lightroom? I am travelling most of the year and it is impossible to carry discs, the NAS server at home is too slow to work with from abroad. Can I use Dropbox as the main storage for RAW and edited files? If yes, what have you found to be the best workflow and process overall for it? Thank you.  ... View more

Christmas is definitely a time of year that I find myself taking more pictures than normal. Meeting up with family and friends and wanting to capture special moments means that I have my camera on more than I don’t. If you’re anything like me, you’ll want to be able to share all of these photos with those closest to you.   Social media can be a good way to share photos, but there are definitely times when we might want to keep these photos within a private group of people, especially when family are involved, Dropbox makes it easy to share with exactly who you want.   To start with, I’ll always make sure that my camera uploads are turned on. You’ve probably heard me talking about this a few times here in the Photographers group before, but I’ll stand by my words again because I love this feature, it saves me time, space on my phone and makes sure I never lose any photos, so it’s a no brainer for me. If you don’t know how to turn on Camera uploads you can find all the information you need right here.   Now that all my photos will be automatically added to my Dropbox account, I’ll figure out a way to organize all of the photos I take at Christmas into folders. Generally speaking, I’ll be meeting up with a lot of different groups of people on different days, so I’ll only want to share photos with the people that are in them, so I’ll start by making a Christmas folder, then inside that I’ll make folders for Christas Eve, Christmas Day, Stephen’s Day, New Years Eve and any other days I might be out and about. Then, dependent on what I’m doing, I might make different folders within these daily folders, for example I might do Christmas morning swim and Christmas Dinner, or Stephen’s Day lunch and Stephen’s Day drinks.       Once I’ve got my folders created and all my photos put in the right place, it makes it really easy to share with all of the other people who I was with. To do this, all I need to do is create a view-only shared link to the folder I want to share, and share it with everyone who I was with when I took those photos, or anyone else I want to see them. This link will allow anyone with access to it to view and download the photos inside that folder. If you’re not sure how to create shared links, you can find out everything you need to know here.   Now, if your friends and family are anything like mine, you’ll know there are 2 types of people, those who take photos and those don’t. When I want to add photos that friends or family took to my collection, I use file request. This allows them to simply add their photos, which then go directly to my Dropbox account, allowing me to easily add them to the folder they belong in. You can find out more about using file request here.   When it comes to using Dropbox for organizing photographs, there are literally hundreds of things you can do, and everyone uses it a little different to everyone else. Check out how our very own @Sheena used Dropbox to help create a Christmas Family Calendar for another awesome example.   We’d really love to hear how you plan on using Dropbox to organize your photos this Christmas, let us know in a comment below. ...
