You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Auto upload videos from camera roll
Please automatically upload videos from camera roll to Dropbox. Videos can be more precious than photos to users and this feature being optional with no prompt or notification to warn as such can cause great distress if missed. Most other platforms have this done automatically so users do not think to double check this presumably given feature. If you insist on this feature remaining please at least incorporate more notifications/banners to clearly show the user that it is off as a warning.
I can't seem to find my pictures anywhere.
When drop box first came out they offered 2 gigs of free space for storage. Everything was simple and easy to acess through my phone app and computer. Once introducing more storage option and a new platform I can't find my pictures anywhere. About 6 months ago I stumbled on it and found the pictures so I know they are there but Dropbox has made it impossible to find now. They keep pushing the upgrade. Anyone else with the same issue?
Issues with the photo size on Android when using the Box app
I have an Android (Galaxy something). Using the box app, continuous capture is set to take small photos, but seems to still be taking full resolution 2.7-3.1 MB instead of something in the 300KB size. Is there some other phone setting I need to adjust to allow the Box App to take small photos?
Picdrop style image review integrated with Dropbox.
We use our dropbox for getting image selects on large batches of images. We find out clients dislike using dropbox for this process (unless they already use DB but most dont) and have been pushing us to use picdrop (picdrop.com) instead as they find it much more user friendly. Annoyingly this means we're then copying our folders into picdrop and then selects back to dropbox. Id love to be able to have dropbox function like this. it would save us a lot of time and errors. Would this sore of quick thumbnails style image review be helpful for anyone else: photographers/filmmakers/moodboard people?
Photo sync issue with new phone
Previously when I have upgraded to a new iPhone, I have not had problems with Dropbox remembering to sync with my Camera Uploads folder. I upgraded to an iPhone 16 Pro yesterday and Dropbox is now uploading all of my photos elsewhere, although I do not know where they are going. The individual activity dropdown screen is also not working, so I am unable to know where they are being uploaded. I want to avoid them being duplicated and backed up elsewhere. How can I resolve this problem so I understand where my photos are being uploaded and can re-sync them with the original folder I've had for over 10 years where my photos and videos should be being backed up?How to stop my camera photos from being backed up into Dropbox?
I have a desktop computer - HP - and in past I would put my camera scan disk into side of computer and the photos would be downloaded to my computer in my PICTURES folder; now - for some reason they are going into Dropbox which I do not want. Help. How to do I stop this and return to the way things were before?
Compressing 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. 🙋♂️Can I link a folder to another website gallery and export the folder structure from Dropbox?
I am helping my father in law get his collection of postcards into an online gallery. I am hoping to use the Wix website to create a database of the postcards and include the web URL that each can be found at. All of his postcards are in a Dropbox folder. The issue is that there are over 10,000 postcard images that need adding to the database collection. With this volume, it makes sense to use the Import facility available in Wix. So I need a way of: Getting the folder structure from Dropbox, including subfolders and files into a spreadsheet Making an entire Dropbox folder public including subfolders and files Constructing the web URL from the filename and folder info obtained in step 1 I believe I can do step one easily enough through Excel and using the "Get Data" from folder. I also believe it is easy enough to give public access to a particular folder. My issue is creating the individual web URLs that will be in the sub folders. I don't want to have to visit each f the 10,000 items and copy and paste the public URL for the image into a spreadsheet. Hopefully that makes sense, but if not please ask for clarification and I will do my best :)
