Duplicate Folders in Shared Dropbox - Deleting One Deletes Another
We’re experiencing an issue with our organization’s Dropbox where duplicate folders appear, and when we delete one, the other also gets deleted. Specifically, we have a main folder that contains subfolders for various reports. These subfolders were moved into the main folder (not copied), but now duplicate copies of these subfolders are also appearing outside the main folder. The strange part is that if we delete a subfolder outside the main folder, the corresponding subfolder inside the main folder is also deleted. Has anyone encountered this issue before? Any advice on how to resolve it would be much appreciated! Thank you!
Is it possible to differentiate between speakers in a Dropbox AI transcript?
Hi, all-- I do a lot of online interviews and am trying to improve my workflow for processing them. I've tried Otter, Dropbox, Word 365, and probably others. I record the interview on Zoom, then upload the audio file. Dropbox transcription is super-easy to use with Zoom, and the transcriptions are more accurate than Word365, with fewer spurious breaks between phrases. BUT: It seems to lack a feature that is indispensable for me: Having the name of the speaker at the beginning of their comment. Word defaults to Speaker 1 and Speaker 2, then lets me change each to the person's real name. This is standard for professional transcripts. Is there a setting or something that I can turn on in Dropbox/Capture so it captures and labels the changes in speaker? If not, is there a workaround? Or is the workaround "use a different program"? I am on a MacBook Pro M4 running Sequoia. TIA, --NC
I don't see a list of my folders when copying/moving files on the Dropbox website again.
The Folder List will not populate when trying to copy of move files on the Dropbox website. I wish Dropbox had told me what the problem was the last time this happened. After way too much time addressing it then, issue just went away and resolved itself or Dropbox did something to fix it without telling me what it was. I'm actually a bit angry now that I wasted over an hour selecting items to copy only to get the same problem again (Chrome Aw Snap error and Edge page-problem errors after waiting for Folder List to populate) still with no idea on how to solve it other than to rant on this Community. Then wasted at least another 40 minutes just documenting the problem and putting together this post. I have done all of the troubleshooting (screenshots below), restarted laptop and used 3 different internet carriers. Folder List will not load on Chrome and on Edge (on regular, in cognito, and with extensions removed). Oh, in case you're wondering, my laptop has plenty of storage/capacity available. This is now a recurring Dropbox problem. My project should have been done hours ago but now I guess I'll have to go back and WRITE DOWN the file numbers from the Dropbox website and then do the copying on the laptop app. (I cannot do this project on the laptop app, because I need to see the photo/file details to know which ones I need to copy.) Please fix this (again) and then let me know what is causing this problem to recur so next time it happens I can fix it and avoid another project delay and then wasting even more time having to put together a Community post. Thanks....again!
Opciones para organizar y personalizar la visualización de fotos
Sería muy útil contar con la opción de seleccionar qué directorios incluir o excluir en el apartado "Fotos". Muchas veces almacenamos imágenes o capturas de pantalla en carpetas específicas, y estas terminan mezclándose con nuestras fotos principales, generando desorden visual. Poder limitar la visualización únicamente a los directorios que realmente contienen fotos ayudaría a mantener una experiencia más organizada y enfocada.
Folder/File Automation and Tagging improvements
Add logic to automations via file tags "if file tagged X, rename file with Y". "if file tagged X, convert the file to a different format". "if file tagged X, resize the current image file". "if file tagged X, perform any other automation actions". "if file tagged X (on upload) put a copy of it in folders Y, W and Z" Every file should have a tag associated with it by default when its uploaded via mobile or desktop. We could then build all of our automations based off file tags, regardless of what folder a file is in. Right now its the other way around, automations are built on folders, not the files themselves.
I'm unable to rename a file after copying it from another sub-folder on my Mac.
Having this issue over the past several months. Saw another thread where others were having the same issue, but that thread was locked. I copy a file from one subfolder in Dropbox to another subfolder on my Sonoma 14.5 Mac, (Dropbox v199.4.6287) and then I can't rename the file. This doesn't happen every time, but has happened a couple of times in the last 4 months since Jan 2024, and may have started happening before that. Other files in the same folder have the Dropbox Quick Actions context menu items when I right click on them. This file does not. I can open the file, change contents, and save, and that works. I can copy the file with a ctrl-c / cntrl-v in the same folder, and then the copy of the file appears to inherit the same problem, I can't rename it either. I can delete the file. A menu item "Do not sync" is not available in the right click menu for this specific file, although not in the Dropbox Quick Actions section of the right click menu. If I quit the Dropbox app, still can't rename the file, start Dropbox back up, still can't rename the file. Force quitting the Finder, which then automatically restarts, all the finder windows ... does work! So letting others know this is a workaround for this problem rather than rebooting the whole computer, which also works. But this does appear to be a bug around something with file copying in Dropbox folders, unless it's a Mac OS level bug. I noticed after restarting the Finder that the little green circle with the check-box next to the filename is back, which wasn't showing before, so there was something going on with Dropbox integration with the finder perhaps.
