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.
AI-Powered Image Upscaling with GFAN and Hugging Face Models
I’d like to propose an exciting feature that could enhance Dropbox’s utility for managing and preserving visual media: integrating an AI-powered image upscaling tool using state-of-the-art models like GFAN and other high-quality options available on Hugging Face. Why This Feature is Valuable: Improved Image Quality: Many users store legacy photos and low-resolution images. This feature would allow users to enhance these images directly within Dropbox without requiring external tools. Convenience and Productivity: Built-in upscaling reduces the need to download, process, and re-upload images, saving time and effort. AI Integration: Leveraging GFAN and Hugging Face’s advanced models ensures exceptional upscaling quality while maintaining image authenticity. Proposed Features: One-Click Upscale: Add an option in the context menu to upscale selected images (e.g., "Enhance Image Quality"). Customizable Output: Allow users to select resolution goals (e.g., 2x, 4x) and control enhancements like noise reduction or color correction. Batch Processing: Include the ability to upscale multiple images or entire folders for bulk operations. Preview Functionality: Provide a side-by-side comparison of the original and enhanced image before confirming the upscale. Potential User Benefits: Preserve Memories: High-quality upscaling of old photos, screenshots, or scanned images for personal and professional use. Professional Appeal: Businesses and designers could use Dropbox for quick, high-quality image enhancements without relying on additional software. Competitive Edge: Dropbox would stand out as a storage service with unique value-added features. Thank you for considering this innovative addition. AI-powered image enhancements align with Dropbox’s commitment to convenience, innovation, and staying ahead of user needs.
Compressing the size or adjusting the dimensions of a file automatically
I see many new features we can use or schedule, for automatic editing of picture, some of them advanced ... but the most important and basic one is missing: RESIZE. We are affected by the crazy Apple's idea to make the picture bigger and bigger, every year bigger... I think it will be very appreciated from everyone to have this edit option in dropbox together with the others. I did something good, and advanced as I mentioned, but this one is missing. 🙋♂️
