Hi. Have just checked my Files, and the one I uploaded yesterday, plus a whole slew of others, is not there. I always get an email confirming when I've uploaded, but never checked the Box before, so it's a bit of a shock that most of my audition tapes are not there! Does this mean they were never actually uploaded after all? Does it make a difference that these were tapes requested OF me and not BY me? Seems odd and worrying. Thanks.20Views0likes1CommentMy file request files are named with "inbound" and a number
I have noticed that in my file request folder, there are several files named with a pattern such as inbound 116653248292738278 (as an example). I would appreciate it if you could help clarify the following: What does the "inbound" designation signify in this context? Is there a specific meaning or identifier associated with the sequence of numbers following "inbound"? Understanding this would help me manage the folder more effectively and ensure that all files are processed correctly.22Views0likes1CommentSeamless Photo Collaboration with Dropbox
Working on projects with remote clients and endless file transfers? If you're a photographer, you know the joy of trying to send a stack of huge files across the world. Get ready to have your mind blown, I’m about to share some tips for remote collaboration on photography projects, whether it’s organizing shoots, sending revisions to clients, or just making teamwork a little smoother ⭐. Large Files, No Problem (Seriously) You’re ready to send those high-res photos or a full video project, but... oh wait, it’s the size of a small planet. Dropbox Transfer to the rescue! You can send files up to 250 GB - yes, that’s GB, not MB. Plus, you get to see who’s opened the file, so no more “Oh, I never got it!” excuses from clients 😉.

Large Files, Tiny Downloads (Because Who Has All Day?) Let’s talk downloads. Sure, you love working with high-res photos, but do you love waiting for them to download while your coffee goes cold? Probably not. Dropbox lets you convert those enormous image files into smaller, preview-friendly versions 🤗. Got a RAW photo that’s the size of a small mountain? Bam.. it’s now a lightweight JPEG that won’t make your Wi-Fi cry. Perfect for quick previews or where your Wi-Fi is giving 1996. Don’t Worry About Large Files Remember when reviewing photos meant endless downloads and crossing your fingers that everyone had the right software to open those giant files? Well, worry no more! Dropbox’s preview game is 🔥. Clients and collaborators can check out your high-res shots without downloading a thing. Need to zoom in on those details or scroll through a whole series at once? Easy peasy, no extra apps needed. Just sit back, let them preview away, and enjoy the look of awe when they realize you’re a file-sharing wizard 💌. And there you go!

I find drop box incredibly unreliable for transferring files. It's almost unusable with the web version. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The main issue I have is i have provided a Dropbox File Request link to a friend. They need to upload files for me each week. They use a web browser on their windows laptop. It almost always fails and they have to take 4 or 5 attempts and loads of wasted time, They have have a basic drop box account so dont seem able to use the drop box windows app. Is there anyway to get this to work or am i better just switching to wetransfer which has always been very reliable. We are both wasting so much time with dropbox each week. Life is too short!60Views0likes3CommentsUsers don't get an email confirmation when uploading multiple files via file request.
I am trying to enable my users to upload files directly from their iPhones (Files apps) using a file request. When my users upload a single file (in response to clicking the file request link), they receive a confirmation message when complete. When they upload multiple files they receive no confirmation message. In both cases I, the account owner, receive messages indicating the users have submitted files, and the files are located the the correct DB folder associated with the file request. Thank you.Allow file requests via mobile app (Android, iOS)
Seems like this has been recommended in the past but was closed fairly quickly. Would definitely like to have this available on mobile, it's a hassle when I'm trying to create these on a go, and your mobile website is really clunky. Absolutely hate trying to do this on mobile web and it seems kind of silly not have the option in the mobile app. Would love to see this implemented!33Views0likes1CommentPut File Requests back on the menu prompt.
It was soooo simple to send a file request until dropbox took it off the "menu prompts" that appear in file explorer or finder. Just right click on the folder, select request files and then fill out the form. NOW its awful -- at least 13 steps - starting with needing to open dropbox on line - then fumbling around and eventually having to scroll through the entire file structure of my dropbox to find the folder i'm trying to attach the request to --- that last part is the absolute worst --- there's no way to search for the folder in some sensible way and THEN make a request -- PUT IT BACK ON THE MENU NOW --- you've negatively interrupted my work flow in a totally unnecessary and counter-productive way (and read your forums -- LOTS of people agree with me)46Views0likes3Comments
