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.
Notifications
42 TopicsAdd control over Dropbox Transfer e-mail notifications in the settings.
When sending a file through Dropbox Transfer, you get notified everytime a file will expire within 2 days. When you send all of your work to your clients through Dropbox Transfer, you get quite a lot of these e-mails and they start to clutter up your inbox. It would be practical to have control over all notifications related to Dropbox Transfer in the settings.11KViews42likes36CommentsOption to disable delete confirmation popup when deleting online-only files from desktop
When deleting "online-only" files or folders, I got asked for confirmation with a pop up, but there is no "do not show this next time" checkbox. I know what I'm doing when I delete files and I don't need Dropbox to babysit me. How can I make that popup go away forever?17KViews27likes39CommentsSending Dropbox Paper notifications to slack
Hi, We're looking to make more use of Paper for project and task management but a key thing for us is the ability to send notifications (of task due dates, etc..) to a slack channel as opposed to email. Is this possible? If so, how? Thanks.12KViews13likes15CommentsWarning that other users already have an autocad file open
Is there any way to enable a warning that another user has an autocad file open when you go to open that same file throught dropbox? I am looking for something similar to the dropbox badge that appears when you open files in mircrosoft products.12KViews12likes15CommentsControl the notification emails Dropbox Replay sends everytime a comment is made.
Really get overwhelmed due to the way my team is working. We don't all need to see every comment. It would be so much better to have a global setting to turn email notifications on or off and also a drop down to send a particular notification to only the people who need to see it.1.3KViews10likes3CommentsNew folder creation - Option to change default behavior of "Send an email notification" checkbox
This idea would solve a lot of issues and address many complaints. Creating the option to change a default behavior when creating a new folder within a parent folder. Currently you cannot modify the checkbox below from being checked by default when creating a new folder. If you do not un-check the box, an email notification is sent to every member of the parent folder. Please see a screenshot of the dialogue box and checkbox in question:4.2KViews9likes22CommentsWe need a warning messages for invalid character filenames.
Example: User creates a file named "foo/bar?.txt" in MacOS (? is an invalid character in windows). Under windows the file will not download and the folder appears to be empty. The user can try to move or delete the folder but the folder re-appears after a few seconds. Cause: Invalid cahracter in filename (:? etc.). I understand that there is a check that can be done for these invalid filenames via:https://www.dropbox.com/bad_files_check Solution: Provide the user with a warning that some files could not be downloaded due to incompatable filenames. Provide anautomatic resolution, removing the invalid characters. Example:get_valid_filename(line 229)django file utils git11KViews9likes13CommentsStop pushing marketing/advertising via notifications
Today there was a red dot over my Dropbox icon, with no obvious explanation. After Web searching, I found out that this means a notification is available. I had to search in Dropbox to find how to read the notifications, then I found that it was advertising for the paid Dropbox plans. My suggestions are two: 1. Allow a click on the red dot (and something appropriate on the keyboard) to read notifications so we don't have to hunt down how to read them. 2. Stop advertising through notifications. A notification might be something important, but when it turns out just to be representative of the usual corporate greed, that is very uncomfortable.1.9KViews3likes2Comments
