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.

42 TopicsGenerate a unique email address for "Email to Dropbox" based on usernames.
For Emailing to Dropbox, they use a 5 random-word list model... so something like: ecology.tastey.pillow.depth.example @addtodropbox.com There is a big problem with this... both for Dropbox and their users.It's a nightmare to use. Try telling a client that URL. Result: NONE USE. They should use a user generated model with tight guidelines. so Something like: DigitalMarketing1000@ or RickStark100@ Easy to Pick a winner - easy for the user to use. THAT is what we want. There is easily a million easy options for both users above. So why do they do it? This model is easy for the IT department - the computer geeks decided... not the marketing dept. / user advocates. If DB is looking for EASE OF USE for their CUSTOMERS... then go to the trouble of user created addresses. Their current model is EASY FOR THEM... but poo for the user. Let me ask you: Do these super-duper-really-long-multi-word-URLS-seem-very-usable-to-you dot question? Do they seem like they would be popular to users to you? If your answer is NO - then THAT is why adoption is low for emailing to dropbox and I and millions of others don't use it. Switch to a tougher (user-generated address), but better for the consumer, model. Go for usable... which is above functional. Thoughts? Support?

Hi Is there a way of directly backing up my WhatsApp (messages only) to my Dropbox. I cannot find a way of doing this as my WhatsApp only appears to show Google storage as the only storage available for this particular backup Thanks400Views0likes2CommentsUpdraftplus can't upload anymore
Suddenly, my automatic encrypted backup uploads to Dropbox don't work anymore, after years working perfectly. • I tried manual backup and that upload did not work either. • Asked hosting, they said no changes at them whatsoever. • Updraftplus say it's on Dropbox end. Errors: "Dropbox: failed to upload file to ..." Log: "Something went wrong. Don't worry, your files are still safe and the Dropbox team has been notified." I checked Dropbox status and that says ok. Any ideas? Thanks.Solved512Views2likes5CommentsI can't upload pictures from Dropbox to AppFolio using the Dropbox site
I have to write reports on appfolio and it requires uploading photos to the reports. Recently, I've had an issue where if I'm using the online version of dropbox, the files will not upload into appfolio. However, if I download dropbox onto my computer, the pictures will upload. While it's a temporary fix, my computer doesn't have the necessary storage to download all of the files in dropbox to my computer. It wasn't a problem until recently. How can I fix this?255Views0likes1CommentData Migration from Sharepoint/OneDrive to Dropbox - Help
Hello I am new to Dropbox and I am currently setting up Dropbox (former Sharepoint/OneDrive user). I can't find a lot of information on how to migrate from Sharepoint/OneDrive to Dropbox almost all the information are the other way around. Are there some best practices or guidlines I can follow and use. Do tools for data migration from Dropbox exists? The only information I could find was movebot and Storage Guardian. Are there any reviews and helpful tips? Good to know: I have a lot of data 1.5 TB + which I want to migrate without loss. I would be really thankful I someone can provide me with detailled information about this topic or even a guidline. Thanks a lot.1.5KViews0likes2CommentsI'm not seeing all of my Dropbox folders after connecting my account to Epson scanner
I integrated DROPBOX with my EPSON RR-600W scanner. I have many options to save a scan, including DROPBOX. All I had to do was sign into DROPBOX in the Epson Scansmart application with my DROPBOX ID and password. However, when I go to store the document, the software only shows one folder, DROPBOX. The other folders in my DROPBOX do not populate. Does anyone know if this is correct or if there is a workaround? Thanks StevenSolved2.6KViews0likes4Comments
