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.
I update a file using my laptop but the file in the mobile app isn't updated
I am having more problems with Dropbox and after this week of having issues with the app on my windows 10 laptop, I am about fed up with dropbox to the point where I am ready to think about a different cloud service. I compose a word document on my laptop and save it to dropbox. I go to my tablet, access the document and it looks fine. I make changes to the document on my laptop, save it again to dropbox, same file name, same location. I pull up the document on my tablet from the dropbox app, and its the previous version. This has been an ongoing issue with dropbox. The same document looks different on my laptop than it does on my tablet. For some reason, the dropbox app on my tablet hasnt received the updated document that I saved to dropbox (same account) on my laptop. In the past, I would not be able to see the document in dropbox on my tablet until I opened dropbox on my laptop. very aggravated
Auto sync from different devices save in same folder
I have iPhone and iPad. Both of them saved photos to same folder and my photos are mixed. How I can set different auto sync folder to different devices? I already try: stop syncing, pushing some fotos to different folder, auto syncing window pop-up, starting auto sync with hope it will start working based on different folder.I cannot create a folder. I get the same message whether on a browser or phone app...
as per the title... what i did do is move a very large directory in the same structure -- which is now finished (i think!) Is there any way to monitor a large move process (this one took around an hour -- all server side) as it would make sense that i cannot update things while it is still running a large operation. is there any feedback i can monitor?
All of my devices show 0 bytes for my Scrivener files, except my MacBook Pro.
I use dropbox on ipad and 2 Mac's essentially for the app Scrivener. I saw last week that all my scrivener projects'size (it is packages = folders) was 0 byte. on my macbook they still had the correct size (a chance as since I trust dropbox I don't make backups of my dropbox folder, I know it's terrible) but the sync is not correcting the problem: the scrivener projects stay at 0 byte while they have the correct size on my macbook and I have "everything is synced). On my iPad and my other mac they are at 0 bytes I re-installed dropbox.. but still the sameHalf the files from a third party app were synced to my Dropbox - how can I find the rest?
I’ve recently have to delete an app (which was synced with DB. And before I deleted I checked the app and it said the last syncing was yesterday) and reinstall it. But when I install and export the Dropbox data I realized that literally every single file modified at different times. Some of the files from couple days ago was there, some of them not even exist and some of them didn’t get modified since January. When I checked the storage it shows that I still have storage left (1,7 GB used out of 2.)so I don’t know why would Dropbox didn’t synch files properly and synch only some random files at random times. I’ve been keeping my school work and there’s no other place I can recover them from and like I stated the app itself shows that the last synch was yesterday so how is that possible?
