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.
Photos tab previewing comments, and wishes to locate files using geolocation.
OneDrive has a feature where it syncs photos across Galaxy devices - so a photo taken on my phone, can be viewed in the Gallery app on my tablet - as well as on my computer or online. I currently have Dropbox Plus to backup all my photos, but the photo viewing experience in the Dropbox app is terrible - no searching by location (on a map), slow and painful due to no cached thumbnails, etc. I really prefer giving my money to an independent company like Dropbox, but double handling my photos is becoming a real pain (if I delete a photo from dropbox, I have to separately delete it from Gallery as well). Please don't make my swap my data storage needs to Microsoft!
Our large PDF file has been separated into individual files after uploading to Dropbox via app.
Hi, I was recently asked to upload a large file set from our local storage to dropbox. We basically dragged and dropped into the dropbox app... however now that we are looking at the data, it has separated our multi page PDF files into a new PDF file, one for each page!!! Has anyone else experienced this and is there a way to reverse this or at the very least keep it from happening again? Thanks!
Why is Dropbox Browser so slow?
I use the browser version of Dropbox exclusively, and am baffled as to why the speeds are so painfully slow. We have gigabit internet at our studio, and while very other browser-based activity, download or upload can utilise the full bandwidth (commonly seeing 80MBp/s down and upload - on wetransfer for example). Dropbox, however, will typically never go beyond6MBp/s either way. And opening new browser windows for each file upload is tedious. We're paying for a business service here, and I dont see why the featurset of the browser version should be so neutered. If there's some sort of setting that's been overlooked I'd love to know. Thanks A
File Corruption (.icloud)
Hello, A couple of days ago I uploaded a big amount of files that were also uploaded in my iCloud. After I uploaded them to my dropbox I deleted them from my desktop (which was showing that were synced in my iCloud) and then deleted them from my trash. Now when I go to view these files in dropbox they appear with an .icloud in the end and they won't open even if I download them to my computer. Please help me, thank you so much!
Video upload quality is bad
Every time I upload a video from my iphone to Dropbox the quality is awful. Although the videos look perfect on my iphone12, once uploaded to my Dropbox, the image is glitchy. The file is glitchy on all my devices when I view in Dropbox, but plays fine from my photos app on my Mac, iPad, and phone. My WiFi is good, so that’s not the issue. I use Dropbox to share photos and videos from my phone with the person who handles my social media, so it’s important for her to have full rez hi quality images to work with. I have no problem working with still images, but the video quality is awful.
