576 TopicsMissing updates on a file I've been editing
Hi all! I copied a file from one folder in Dropbox to another folder still in Dropbox on nov. 8th. I modified and saved that certain file several times since nov. 8th until today (I last accessed it on thursday nov. 14th). Yesterday evening I tried to access it again and I found it in the same initial version, more exactly the one on nov. 8th. I searched in the previous sessions in my PC and also here online, but it's like my modifications never even existed. Below please find a pic of the activity on the file. How do you think I could get back the most current verision (the one on thursday nov. 14th would be the last one). Thank you in advance for your kind response(s)!13Views0likes1CommentCompressing the size or adjusting the dimensions of a file automatically
I see many new features we can use or schedule, for automatic editing of picture, some of them advanced ... but the most important and basic one is missing: RESIZE. We are affected by the crazy Apple's idea to make the picture bigger and bigger, every year bigger... I think it will be very appreciated from everyone to have this edit option in dropbox together with the others. I did something good, and advanced as I mentioned, but this one is missing. 🙋♂️23Views0likes3CommentsOpen .pages files in Dropbox on iPad
Hi there I‘m moving away from Office 365 to Apple apps. When on my iPad, when I click on a Word file, I get the „open in“ button to open in Microsoft Word. When I click on a .pages file, I only get an „open“ button which, when clicked, opens the file in Dropbox with no editing options. What am I doing wrong? Thanks RomanSolved41Views0likes3CommentsMobile Dropbox app: handwriting/annotations (with pencil) for pdf, photos and drawing files
Do you want to use less paper and organise your handwritten annotations on digital files? In daily business, I need to review documents (pdf): highlighting, adding quick handwritten notes or adding symbols is very usefull. As a sailer, I make notes on weather charts(gif, png or jpeg), plot tidal calculations on a tidal template for a harbour (pdf). Or I need to draw secondary port calculations in a standard pdf template. As a musician, I make notes on a digital music sheet. There should be an option in the Dropbox app to add these annotations to the original document or to create a copy including the annotations (in the file name it adds your initials and a date). I know there is a feature to add signatures, but this proposal takes the next step! I think this would we a very useful add on for the mobile (tablet) Dropbox app. Thanks for sharing, commenting and voting 🙂 (just click vote after reading this) Bass&Art Bart6.5KViews5likes6CommentsI can't edit my Microsoft files on the mobile app.

It would be really useful if a couple of things were added to the editing of PDFs when using a mobile device. - For one, a simple way to add something like a tick or a cross would be really useful. - The ability to copy and paste any edits. - The ability to draw, like you can when editing on desktop.119Views1like2Comments
