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.
Dropbox Paper App: quickly change font size
For the DropBox Paper App I need adjustable font size for viewing the document: In the overall App settings I'd like to set a default font size for all documents, that size shall be applied after loading the document When viewing the document I'd like to quickly resize the text. I want to have two separate options for resizing: First I'd like to zoom in and out the whole document like I would zoom into a picture (the word wrapping would NOT change). Second, I'd like to change the size of the fonts without changing the documents width (the word wrapping would change).Feedback on Dropbox Paper
I've been a long-time user of Paper. I still use it for work. I loved it the first time I tried it. However, the lack of support has hindered this product's potential. Zoom released Zoom Docs today. It is what Paper should and could have been. A preliminary review shows a very powerful platform in its first version (Link). I wish Dropbox would have leveraged the lead they had several years ago.
Can't access PAPER from my laptop
Since late May 2024, I’ve been unable to access my Dropbox PAPER account from my laptop (a MacBook Pro), though I can read and edit from my iPad and iPhone. But on my laptop I get a message (see screenshot below) saying that I’ve signed out and must sign back in. I requested help from Google (see below), thinking it was a login/password issue. I wrote: “When I try to launch PAPER to continue work on a document, I get a message that I've SIGNED OUT and must SIGN BACK IN. But when I try to sign in again, I get another message saying there have been TOO MANY REDIRECTS, and that I need to CLEAR COOKIES and/or my Browser Cache. I cleared some cookies, and I had already cleared my Browser Cache 3 days ago, on Sun 5/26. I am following instructions but my problem is not being solved. PLEASE HELP!” Their response was to tell me that question has been posted to the“GoogleChrome Community”. and most questions get a reply within 24 hours. I’d get an email notification when that happened, I was told . BUT I NEVER GOT ANYTHING. This happened 3 months ago in late May 2024— today, I just tried again to access my PAPER account and the same thing happened, with the same message . Note, I had already cleared my cookies on May 26 (3 days before the problem arose), so I really don’t think that is the issue. Please can you help me with this issue? maralina PS: I use the free version (DROPBOX Basic) — signed up for Dropbox on 11/20/13. And I set up my PAPER account on 6/19/18. The total space on my free version of Dropbox is 5.75 GB. I am currently using 4.37 GB of that My laptop is a Macbook Pro running on Mac OS Mojave (10.14.6)
Dropbox Paper no longer functions in dark mode
Dark Mode suddenly (this week) no longer works (Mac OS Desktop App across 2 machines, mac ventura and mac monterey). Left sidebar with list is dark. Writing / Note area is white. ("on", "off", "auto" settings have no effect ... it's always white bg). Blocks which used to show tools are now just black bars in the app - I can click them but the tool icons are no longer visible. I've written Dropbox support and received a ticket number and response which was entirely irrelevant. (they told me to "use a different browser" ... except that I'm not using a browser, I'm using the desktop app.) Any help appreciated.
