114 TopicsI can't see the content of my Keynote images after uploading them to Dropbox.
I have been using Dropbox for years to share Keynote files to another computer. This last time my shared file did not include the background images on my slides. (However, they were visible on the thumbnails, just not on the main viewing section.). The slides were unusable as there was no contrast between the dark grey slide and the text. What I created had good contrast and was very readable. This happened with 2 different computers on 2 different days with the same file. Whey did this happen and how can I avoid it in the future. I had no way of knowing there was a problem until I got to church to run the slide for worship! I was able to quickly work around the problem. But all my work was wasted and I will not be there every time to correct the issue on the fly. Please help me solve this problem. Thank you.127Views0likes3CommentsBackup a SQL Server database and transfer it to Dropbox.
Hi, I want to backup a SQL Server database using a bat file. This is the contents of the bat file when I backup it on my laptop : cls set SERVERNAME=DESKTOP-6PULTF9\SQLEXPRESS05 set DATABASENAME=AssetManagement set DATABASESHOP=HuntsmanShop set datestr=%date:~6,4%%date:~3,2%%date:~0,2% set timestr=%Time:~0,2%%Time:~3,2%%Time:~6,2% set FileName=%DATABASESHOP%_%DATABASENAME%_%datestr%%timestr%.bak set BAK_PATH=C:\Data\Test\ set DEST_FILE=%BAK_PATH%%FileName% :: -------------------------------------------------- :: BACKUP Database :: NOTE: If error "access is denied" appear - go to service properties - log on. sqlcmd -E -S %SERVERNAME% -d master -Q "BACKUP DATABASE [%DATABASENAME%] TO DISK = N'%DEST_FILE%' WITH INIT , NOUNLOAD , NAME = N'%DATABASENAME% backup', NOSKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT" and this works perfectly. Now when I want to make a backup to a Dropbox folder it doesn't work : cls set SERVERNAME=DESKTOP-6PULTF9\SQLEXPRESS05 set DATABASENAME=AssetManagement set DATABASESHOP=HuntsmanShop set datestr=%date:~6,4%%date:~3,2%%date:~0,2% set timestr=%Time:~0,2%%Time:~3,2%%Time:~6,2% set FileName=%DATABASESHOP%_%DATABASENAME%_%datestr%%timestr%.bak set BAK_PATH=C:\Users\miche\Dropbox\Huntsman Shop\Backup\ set DEST_FILE=%BAK_PATH%%FileName% :: -------------------------------------------------- :: BACKUP Database :: NOTE: If error "access is denied" appear - go to service properties - log on. sqlcmd -E -S %SERVERNAME% -d master -Q "BACKUP DATABASE [%DATABASENAME%] TO DISK = N'%DEST_FILE%' WITH INIT , NOUNLOAD , NAME = N'%DATABASENAME% backup', NOSKIP , STATS = 10, NOFORMAT" I have been looking for a solution for a long time but I can't find it. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance. Regards MichelSolved263Views0likes1CommentWhy can't I preview Scrivener files?
Just made an account, put a desktop app, and uploaded some text files created in Scrivener. Every item I click on yields an error message: Can’t load this file type This file type is unsupported here (download button) Evidently, I am doing something wrong, and I don't know what it is. So, I can't correct it! a. Why would I download something that I just uploaded? b. why would Scrivener recommend using Dropbox if the .scriv are not supported? c. Why do all your commercials make it seem like just drag and drop - yet nothing works d. I remember paying for DB a couple of times and losing all interest after a few frustrating experiences like this one e. Why can't DB hold hands of totally new-to-cloud apps and go one step at a time f. I took the free tutorial on three separate occasions, but each time my questions were ignored g. I am hoping this latest attempt to use DB will be good, somehow.358Views0likes3CommentsMake folder available to other apps on Android?
I'd like to use Dropbox to sync Obsidian markdown files on my Android phone and tablet (since the official Obsidian sync corrupts my files). How can I do that? I tried doing "Make available offline" but that didn't make the folder available to other apps, only within the Dropbox app. I tried DropSync but that only syncs once every hour, which is not often enough for using Obsidian. Thanks!296Views0likes2CommentsDrag and drop URLs of files to other MacOS apps
Hi, we want do use dropbox as an alternative for our current DAM and so we must be able to drag and drop image files from dropbox into Affinity Designer, Publisher or Photo. This way the files stay connected with their web-source, if a certain key (ctrl) is hit in Affinity while dragging the images from Safari. It works great with websites and their images (i.e. resulting in a path like https://static.agravity.io/af6827b1d-080b-4f76-9b1f-5ee91cf12514/p3a350b8a-076f-4b1b-bdc2-9f2035c54c74/1130x810.webp), but not from Dropbox. Here the result comes as an error like i.e. "https://previews.dropbox.com/p/thumb/ACUiEmcmtP9lV0Lkv0cbOcemd_8sBc9L_V4Fy8uCAYb66ACWnhyPezUrxGbhHf7SeY4P8L7bJPrO3uDPFy5tOvLO5fdgZ2AcWRsJE-LnZsTDE2gi31md0SF5yDiPeqKgwQ0FGfnnXXM-YzWxbTntsgF23d5REr_nP0O-0PIY27WABzIU4sTdGoaypuchIKQkBjkPAq5LPdgqk7SzXEWsM0GSzMAwYqxML1nKD5xBCxDWR4WUrMmN64KfN7VWr1-a5m8_usmTuBhJQW14xhC2tQP7RUMedPrh8hVV70lGf7IsobhChycCu6q2pz1iw5VmS4KF-YNPUCKOqyng4I1rMNnf1Bs-2mZi6lhbI8j3lJ8CXdSQaLPWxs9xrVAGgViJ_Kw/p.jpeg". This is strange. How can we drag and drop assets with actual URLs from Dropbox to other MacOS apps to keep them linked?554Views0likes7CommentsAutomating File Sending from Dropbox to an Email Address
Hello, I'm new to this forum and am seeking guidance on whether the following task can be automated. Each month, I need to send the files I've uploaded to my Dropbox account to a specific email address. Is there a way to automate this process? To give you some background: I regularly upload my daily expenses in PDF format to my Dropbox account. Previously, my accountant would retrieve these files via a shared link I provided. However, he's now asked that I send the files directly to an email address, where his accounting software will automatically process them. He finds the previous method too time-consuming. Maintaining my current workflow is important to me for a couple of reasons. First, having my own organized file structure in Dropbox allows me to easily retrieve specific expenses whenever needed. Second, I frequently upload files by simply scanning them with the Dropbox app, which is incredibly convenient. Any advice or suggestions on how to automate this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!383Views0likes2CommentsExcel files all open as corrupted files
Hi. I have a large amount of excel files stored in my dropbox..... Yesterday they opened and worked ok, but today, they all generate an error when being opened which reads..... "Excel cannot open the file '<filename>.xlsm' or <filename>.xlsx because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file" This occurs on 4 different computers running the latest Office365 version. Ive also tried downloading the file and then opening, but the same error message is generated. The files also will not open in the online version of excel or the quickviewer. We're talking about hundreds of excel files which were all working then suddenly are not. Any help, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards854Views0likes4Comments
