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.
I shared files with edit rights, but the recipients can't edit them.
Hello! I have shared files with 2 members and gave them editing access. They can open dropbox on their end and see the file but cannot edit. One user was able to open a file in another window and make edits but they did not appear in the shared file. We have a family plan if that matters. Help!
Why can users edit my PDF files in shared links with view-only access?
I have a PDF I'm trying to share out, view only, to everyone who has the link. I have it set to View only. I have the folder set to View only. But when I share the link, the full PDF edit tools are avaiable and anyone can edit (or write all over) the PDF. This seems to be a Dropbox error. Here's the file — see for yourself. [Removed as per Community Guidelines] Any ideas how to shut off edit capabilities? Needless to say, I'm testing this logged out and in an incognito browser. S
I sent out an incomplete Dropbox link - can I edit it?
Hello, I mistakenly submitted an uncomplete link [removed soas to protect the daily limit for data sharing] for a startup incubator. I cannot edit my submission. Would you know if I can make it work for anybody having the link? Sincerely, FlorianJPG images uploading from my iPhone 11 to Dropbox as PDFs
All of my JPG images in Dropbox on my laptop have converted to PDFs and are uploading as PDFs from my phone. On the Dropbox app on my phone the images are still JPGs. Can anyone tell me the setting to convert everything back and have my uploads remain in JPG format? Adobe won't even let me open the PDFS saying I have to upgrade to Pro!Getting an error when I access a shared file that has been edited by a team member
After my other team member opens and edits a file -- I will go into the same file and get this error message "We found a problem with some content in 'filename.xlsx'. Do you want us to try to recover as much as we can? If you trust the source of this workbook, click Yes. The only way to recover this file is to go onto the web and clip recover file. I am also running into the problem where all the snipped images from the other team member show up as 'UNKNOWN!' on my end when I open the file. I am having a hard time getting a hold of anyone from dropbox that can help.
Having notes available to each file uploaded to the account.
As a content creator, I frequently collect video clips and photos to demonstrate examples of my discussions. However it may be weeks, or even several months before I am ready to use those files. There is no way for me to remember the source, the circumstances, the story and/or details around those files. Rather than creating very lengthy names for these items to describe them, I'd love a way to add a note when they are saved. It would be very helpful to also have a note feature available for my subfolders for the same reason. Thanks for listening!
One user can't update files in a shared folder, why?
I have a folder that I’ve shared with 16 persons. All of them have edit permission and all can read. BUT one of the members cannot update the file. I can see that he accesses the file and it is stated that he has updated the file but his result is not saved. What can be the problem? We are using Dropbox on Windows, desktop.
