Allow us to create top level team folders locally on the desktop app again.
The new feature wherein no one can create a top level team folder locally on computer is the dumbest thing I have come across. I see it is no longer possible even rename the folders. Hope this idiotic feature is eliminated else I will move to one drive.
Folder Customization - Colors, Icons, and More
Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could customize our Dropbox folders to make them more visually appealing and easier to organize? I think adding more options to personalize folders could make a big difference, and I’d love to hear what others think about this idea! Here are a few features I’d suggest: Folder Colors: Imagine being able to color-code your folders—so much easier to spot what you need at a glance! Custom Icons: A simple icon, like a music note for your playlists or a book for your eBooks, could make folders feel more intuitive. This icon could be applied to the already existing folder image, or replace the folder with just an icon. Upload Your Own Images: Personalize your workspace with photos or unique images as folder covers—practical and fun! These tweaks wouldn’t just look great; they’d make organizing and navigating files so much smoother. Plus, other platforms already offer similar options, and it would be awesome to see Dropbox join in! If you think these features would be helpful, let’s make some noise and get Dropbox to consider them. What are your thoughts? Do you have other ideas for folder customization? Let’s chat in the comments and show the Dropbox team how much we’d love this!
'Your credit card has expired! To keep your subscription, update your credit card' pink banner
A pink banner has appeared stating that: Your credit card has expired! To keep your subscription, update your credit card. However I am part of a family plan and the credit card used to pay for this is my partners, which has not expired. Is this a bug? Can anyone advise on how best to proceed?
Collaborate with others to mark files from a large number of photos.
If I have a folder with 500 images, at the the moment it's just possible to mark an image with a star. But thats not enough to make a selection in several passes with one more teammanager. So I wish to have: In the overview, mark and comment photos with different statuses or stars (1 star, 2 stars, 3 stars, …) so that you and team members can make a selection from a large number of photos. (Top: Maybe a sync with Adobe Bridge?)potential security vulnerability or a bug
Description: I noticed an issue where renaming an empty file in Dropbox results in the creation of a JSON metadata file. This JSON file seems to contain information related to the file preview, even though the file itself is empty.Steps to Reproduce: Create an empty file in Dropbox i chose to make a empty paper doc file Rename the file in the dropbox dashboard into .sql extension (i only tested in .xml and .json and sometimes they give different results like a binary file. observe I am a Software Developer and Tester and I like digging around, please don't think I was trying to hack, I do this for fun and I report my findings, Always. Thanks.Give us the ability to create .txt files on the Dropbox website.
Simple editor for TXT files. I can only read TXT files (web and mobile app), but I would like to make new TXT fle directly on web or mobile app and edit it there. Yes, we can make DOCX or XLSX files there, but TXT file has a lot of advantages. For example: - No text formatting - No paging - No checking and repairing text - Multiplatform - No automatic break text into lines - May contain unchanged parts of codes and commands - The master of the format and content of the text is the one who writes it
I'm having issues renaming scanned files in the iOS Dropbox app
I use Dropbox App on my iPhone a lot for scanning. I scan the file, then select Rename and change to what I want the name to be. Today I scanned a document and clicked on Rename. I had the name in the edit box and several suggestions below that I could select, but there was no keyboard for backspace where I could put in the name I wanted. This just started today. After I scanned the document. I opened DropBox on my Mac and easily changed the file name. Needless to say this is a hassle using two devices to scan then change the name! Any help would be appreciated.
