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.
Nothing happens when I tap on the PDF comments on my new iPad.
Help! Here's what I've got going on. I have a 2,500 page PDF (yes, you read that right) I need to review and put comments in to. I received this as a shared link from the original owner. I have begun reviewing this document and entering comments while I was on my PC. I am trying to access dropbox on my iPad. It is a new iPad pro that's about two weeks old, so everything is up-to-date and modern. I go to that shared file and see comments, however, clicking on the comments does nothing (on the iPad). Normally, it would jump to the page and the comment's highlighted text or location on the aforementioned page, however that functionality does not appear to be present for the iPad version. Is there something I am missing, or rather, is there something that Dropbox is missing...? again, this functionality for me is 100% necessary as this is a 2500 page document and I am probably going to enter a total of about 250 comments, and it is necessary to have the "jump-to-page" functionality.
IOS Dropbox offline file need re-download if access from the Files app?
Hi, I have a dropbox folder contain many pdf files set to 'available offline ' on my ipad. However, whenever I try to access these pdfs using the IOS Files app, it seems I will need to re-download the pdf files so that I can open with other third party apps. I suppose I already have a offline copy of these files in the dropbox and why should I need to re-download them? Is there anyway to direct open a pdf using third party apps (not adobe reader) in the dropbox app?
Accessing old Dropbox account on an old iPad.
I pulled out my old IPad mini the other day (last update was iOS 9.3.5) and realized I still had a Dropbox account open on it with an email address to which I have not had access for about 5 years and this account holds old photos of mine that I do not think I have saved anywhere else. When I open the app I can see about 600 “photos/videos” but only about 10 of them will actually load for me to view. When I try to share anything or download any of the photos it tells me that that action failed and sometimes it will say there isn’t a connection to the server. I’m just wondering if there is any solution to this or are the photos that were once on there actually already lost? 😅
