Where does Dropbox inform potential users of unsupported file types
I am a fairly new Dropbox user and thus far very satisfied until I tried to upload certain file types developed by Google. Dropbox would not allow them to be uploaded claiming they are not supported...
- 4 years agoThanks for the update, this is the case if you're adding files directly from Google docs, since they won't be supported on Dropbox.
If you need any further assistance in future, please let me know!

Have created an epub file which I need to share with the author. I cannot upload this to Dropbox from Android but I can from Windows. The app only allows photos. Will it work to run Chrome on Android and do it from there? The app is useless. I do not want to upload photos to Dropbox. Amazon lets me upload as many as I want.

Hi @Andyjenk2, which option are you choosing to upload files manually?
There should be two options, one for photos and video, and one to create or upload file?
- Andyjenk22 years agoExplorer | Level 4Think I've got it! Was looking for the option in the icons on the bottom, not after hitting '+'. Thanks for the help .
