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.
Weird transparency issue when using Dropbox Replay with an Apple ProRes video file
When uploading a ProRes MOV with graphics to Dropbox Replay, we see a weird transparency grid during graphic transitions when full-screen graphics appear in the video - during playback. Has anyone come across this issue before?
Confusing access of Dropbox files when compared to different cloud providers
I often get very confused accessing my Dropbox files via various Apple, Google and Microsoft apps on my Mac and iPad. This is particularly problematic for me when trying to locate and open files on Mac and/or iPad for Microsoft apps (such as Excel & Word), for Google apps (such as Numbers & Sheets), and for comparable Apple apps. For example, some .xlsx and .docx files in my Dropbox will open from my Mac, but I'm not allowed to open them from my iPad. And sometimes vice versa. Some Dropbox files don't even appear on both my Mac and iPad, for reasons I don't understand. I wonder if this may be the result of confusion around rules to ensure proper software account integration. Or perhaps that syncing in the integration world get too complex to for casual users like me to understand or manage. Is there a single document available that explains all the steps necessary to make sure Dropbox will present a standard, consistent list of the entire file content of my Dropbox to the same apps on my Mac and iPad.
Sycn issues when moved to DropBox File Provider on Mac
When I moved from Dropbox as a folder, to the File Provider service on my mac these errors started showing. All of these files are on the Mac HD, have never been in my dropbox ... and I don't want them to sync. Can someone please advise how to resolve these issues, without the need to give Drop box access to the files. thanks in advance.
PC and Mac users editing same files thru Google
After March 1, the Google integration will no longer work. I am part of a team that works remotely, and they are on PC and I'm using Mac. Is there is a better workaround out there that will prevent me from downloading the file from DropBox, editing, then exporting from Pages/Numbers to Office files, and then re-uploading to DropBox? There are lots of places for mistakes here - formatting, compatibility, not being able to access the new files.....help!
