Files not showing on oculus quest
Ive linked my account to the headset but none of my files are showing even though they are supported file types. i asked oculus and was told to ask here because they said it wasnt an issue with the h...
Mods can go ahead and delete/lock this thread...i found a workaround for it...problem was i dont have (and dont plan to have) a PC so i couldnt just plug it in and transfer but i just used my xbox to upload from the external drive the videos where on, downloaded them on to my tablet from there, reformatted them, then uploaded to google from tablet and downloaded them on to the headset from there...took a bit of time but it works :D

Dropbox StaffHi CallumDoesStuff!
Thanks for posting about this.
I moved the topic you created in this discussion, because we have several helpful users offering workarounds for this third party app. You can even write back to them asking for clarifications.
As this thread explains, currently there is no way for Oculus and Dropbox to directly synchronize and it is not recommended, but I am confident this thread you will find a workaround to manually export and finally import your videos to Dropbox.
Please get back to our Community with any feedback or questions.
Thank you. Have a nice week!
Just a quick question... Is this app not developed or supported by Dropbox itself?
Has it been discontinued?

Yeah it's really odd that this is a "built-in" option in the quest but it doesn't work. I would like to know if this is supported officially by drop Box.
It was working fine for month..and then Oculus Update 12 came and they broke something in the code. They where too quick for the preChristmas updates and didnt make proper tests to avoid those kind of problems i think. Hopefully it gets fixed with the next update. Just sad that they dont push little patches to fix those obvious and annoying errors. However....opening Dropbox from the Oculus browser works fine too.
Also, this thread is showing as solved. The problem hasn't been "solved". I would suggest that it should be left open, especially if mods are copying further threads into it. Otherwise it is a little misleading.

Thank you for your feedback CannarWilm.
You will find threads in the Community where the solution accepted is a workaround from users to users. Unfortunately, the way things operate at the time there is no actual solution for Oculus files on our end.
I hope the workaround in this discussion can be a solution for you.
JohannesMeyer thank you for adding updates to this topic! 🙏 :innocent:
Cheers!
