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.
Apple Photos has caused Dropbox mobile camera uploads to upload duplicate images
for years I've been using Dropbox's "camera uploads" feature to upload my iPhone's photos. I also have a separate location on dropbox with a TON of photos from other cameras/sources in a random folder called "photos". recently I thought I would be make my "photos" folder sync local to my Mac, use Apple Photos to to catalog all of it. unfortunately, this causes dropbox to see ALL the photos, to then populate my iPhone and upload them all back into "camera uploads" -- now I have tens of thousands of duplicates, and every time dropbox launches it continuously uploads a ton of duplicate pictures.
links from illustrator to online files
Hi, Since a more recent update of the operating system of apple, when we open an illustrator file, online links have to be searched manually, put offline, and connected again one by one. Before, this all happened automatically, where the illustrator file recognized all online links, and opened with all links correctly connected. What happened? is there something I'm not seeing in my presets or something? Now it's hell to be honest. Thanks for helping.
My app isn't syncing the latest changes.
Hello, It seems that the desktop application is not synchronizing files correctly to my computer. I have Excel files that are flagged as not up-to-date and showing an incorrect format, making them impossible to open. However, when I access the files via the web version of Dropbox, they appear fine, can be downloaded, and work without any issues. My disk is not full. I have already tried disabling synchronization on my computer and re-enabling it. After the locally synchronized files were deleted, the application re-downloaded them, but the problem persists. I have few screenshots if needed. Could you please assist me with this issue? Best regards, Martin
"Reconnecting to the internet, this may take a moment" desktop app error as of 204.4.5420
As of today's update, my Windows Dropbox desktop app is giving me the "Reconnecting to the internet, this may take a moment" error message, and will no longer sync. Dropbox version: 204.4.5420 Windows version: Windows 10 64 Bit Home, OS Build 17134.706 Please advise, or I will have to cancel.
I edit my Excel file, but others don't see my updates and a conflicted copy is generated instead.
Hi, my issue is. When iam in document, that is synced in desktop application. It will not make changes for other users and they cant see me in document, when we are in at the same time. And if i save the changes it will not change the document already present, but it creates duplicate with name 2024_01_OBĚDY_OBJEDNÁVKA_ZAPISUJTE SEM (Back Office - denní's conflicted copy 2024-11-21).xlsx I already checked permissions. And tried unsynchronized and again synchronize data.
Does the file request upload size limit affect trial plans?
The documentation states the following, but despite multiple attempts to upload a 250GB file through the file request feature, it consistently results in an error and the upload does not complete. Since we are currently conducting a Proof of Concept (PoC) and using the Dropbox Business Plus Trial plan, could this limitation be due to the trial version? Customers on Dropbox Professional, Essentials, Business, Business Plus, Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise can receive files up to 250GB in size. Link to the documentation
