Once I successfully upload my photos to Dropbox from my Camera Roll on my iPhone and iPad, can I delete those photos - or some of them - from my devices (to free-up space) and if I do, what happens to them? Thanks!Solved176Views0likes2CommentsTagging while using Dropbox App & online
I’d love to be able to add tags to each of my photos, while using the app. I’m a sports photographer and it would be great if I had the ability to quickly add a tag for each player the way I’m able to add comments to each photo. I can do it on my desktop, but that is also very clunky. There’s got to be an easier way to see a reasonably sized photo while adding a tag.117Views0likes2CommentsCan't edit Excel files on my Samsung tablet.

I had 3700+ pics/videos in my dropbox. I was having slow phone issues so decided I would transfer (all) data from phone to a USB drive, reset all settings on phone then reinstall saved info on USB to see if my phone was improved. All other info, apps ect came back except dropbox. My worst fear came real!! Please help me recover-I have tried all the help center methods and no luck.

Hi there. Whenever I use Pages on my iPad for word processing and the file it’s using is sourced from Dropbox I’m getting multiple conflicted copies generated. It feels like 1 every 5 minutes or whenever the program auto-saves so 30 minutes of writing will generate multiple conflicted copies in my Dropbox folder. Anyone have any solutions or workarounds to this? Thanks356Views0likes3CommentsRead-only file, only on Dropbox for Android (!)
One file, docx., in a Dropbox directory - and only that file - appears as "only-read file" when I open it in Dropbox app for Android. Instead I can modify it without problems when I use the app on Windows 10 PC. I have copied the file from Dropbox to my PC, deleted it on Dropbox and uploaded it again: nothing changed. I reinstalled Dropbox on my Android tablet, no way. Others similar files in the game directory of Dropbox work perfectly. Can you help me, please? Thanks.Solved4.2KViews0likes22Comments
