Watermarking issues

I upgraded my dropbox so I could add watermarks to my images. I set up folder automations to add watermark words to everything I added to that folder.

 

At first, it wasn't working. I'd add images and they stayed the same. Then out of nowhere it worked. But it added 2 copies to the folder, one original and one watermarked. No big deal really. 

Then it changed on its own to only adding one copy. But it was a watermarked copy so I was happy with that.

Then the next day I transferred and watermarked a handful of images and then in the middle of it all, dropbox stopped watermarking altogether. It has now been another 2 days and it still will not watermark. 

I've tried creating a new folder with a new automation, but still no watermarking is happening.

Any thoughts on what the issue could be? Why was it so inconsistent from the start?

    Hi there katibug - sorry to hear about this.

     

    Have you by any chance cleared your browser's cache or used another browser to see if the issue persists? 

     

    If not, please give it a go and let us know how it goes.

     

    Thanks!

      So I have tried it in Chrome, Microsoft Edge, the desktop app, as well as on my android. Even after clearing caches, my watermark automations just are not working.
