The Parrot Teleprompter app deletes files in the Dropbox folder after opening them once.

This is a weird one. I use the Parrot Teleprompter app synced with Dropbox. I put my new scripts in and go to my studio to record them.

 

Recently I noticed that after I open any of the scripts, it works, but once I close it, it automatically deletes it. When I check the Dropbox folder, I see that they are all deleted. I have no idea if this is a problem on the app side or the Dropbox side, but I decided to post it here to see if anyone noticed this behavior.

 

Thank you.

  • Yes, I did reach out to the developers and they did confirm that this is a bug that they are working to fix. So I am guessing it will be resolved soon. But it is not a bug on Dropbox's end, so I guess this can be closed here. Thanks!

    I would reach out to the Parrot developers. Dropbox doesn't delete files unless told to, so if a file is deleting during your use of the Teleprompter app, then it's likely telling Dropbox to delete the file.

    I experience that problem, too and I noticed it fist, about a week ago.
    I'm glad that it seems to be a general problem.
    Did you reach out to the developers already?
