Dropbox for iPad. How to select and copy multiple files at once.
Hi. I am trying to select and copy multiple files within Dropbox folders using the Dropbox for iPad app.
Somehow I am not finding a way to do so. I want to believe it’s possible, and I just mi...
Just for reference, a selection process on some pictures. Initial (no select mode view):
After selection of the first image:
Now everything else in the same folder can be selected and be performed action from ellipsis menu (up-right corner). I haven't changed any settings, it's so by default.
Thanks. This is really helpful. Nothing on my settings that indicates I have this disabled. Can I ask you yo share the version of your app so I can confirm if I am on a different version? I just checked for updates, but there is nothing new showing to me. Thanks SO much!
My version is definitely not the up to date one. Dropbox regularly drops some important features for me. That's why I keep relatively old version with feature available that are missing in new versions. The selection view is not such a feature, as far as I know. Other users in this forum confirmed it works. I don't know what's wrong in your case.
By the way, you can always do the same using web interface of any device type (including your iPad), if nothing else works. 😉
Solved. I had 'misread' a checkbox icon on the top. I assumed it was to see the Tasks. But it is the way to activate the multiple selection process. Thanks SO much for your help. Very much appreciated. m.
