You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Can't download large files to my Android phone using the Dropbox app
So I can upload photos, and download on my cell phone Using the drop box app. A file that is 6 gig that I want to download to my phone using the drop box app wont even try! I have to log onto the Dropbox website login and download using the web based Google app. Drop box app is broken or am I missing something? Drop box hates large files and won't let me download but small files are fine....
Make folder available to other apps on Android?
I'd like to use Dropbox to sync Obsidian markdown files on my Android phone and tablet (since the official Obsidian sync corrupts my files). How can I do that? I tried doing "Make available offline" but that didn't make the folder available to other apps, only within the Dropbox app. I tried DropSync but that only syncs once every hour, which is not often enough for using Obsidian. Thanks!
I get a "permanent failure" error when trying to access a database on my mobile device.
Hope someone can assist... I need to open a file to access the newest database but when I attempt to, I get a permanent failure. I have cleared the cache, cleared memory, uninstalled the app from my mobile device, (Pixel), reinstalled and I still receive the error message. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Can't play music when I minimize the Dropbox app on Android
Hello. When I minimize the app while playing music on android it stops playing. I've tried to add a new player and open my files in external apps but nothing works. My whole music team uses dropbox and it's very incovenient for us, and I saw a lot of people talking about it on the internet. Do you think it would be possible to fix this problem? Thank you so much
I can't open most of my notes in Paper on Android
I created a bunch of notes in Paper about two years ago. When I try to open them now in Android, most of them won't open. I notice the Paper app itself hasn't been updated in 2 years. Has it just been mothballed? Is there any hope that Dropbox will implement native Markdown support? Or should I just convert my notes to plaintext? P.
