Hi, When i open word file, a message show like " This document contains ink, shapes and images that are not legible in Mobile View. To see them, switch to Print Layout View." This message keeps appearing every time I open word, I think there should be an option "Don't show this message again".18Views0likes1CommentEvery uploaded video to Dropbox from Galaxy S24+ is corrupted
I just came to the realization after about 9 months of having this S24+ that all of the videos that are automatically uploading are corrupted. They can play in all of the video applications but are choppy with seemingly decreased resolution. The corruption is apparent both in the cloud and when it shoots back down to my computer suggesting the problem is at that initial level of Dropbox uploading from the S24. What really finally keyed me off was that I was going to make a Facebook post and it wouldn't upload the video which I finally narrowed down to all videos taken from this S24. The videos look great on the phone itself and if I try to upload the video directly from the S24 to Facebook it works well. Provided that I can manually get these videos onto my computer (not through Dropbox) yielding a great, uncorrupted product, the problem is Dropbox which perturbs me as I have many hours of work having categorized and renamed files which I absolutely do not want to redo. I'm very much hoping Dropbox can remedy this with as little work as possible so that I don't need to start looking for a new cloud solution.Solved36Views0likes4CommentsVideo thumbnails not loading for 'available offline' videos on Windows 11
I am running drobox on a newer windows 11 computer and have all my files set to download and be available offline. In most my video folders thumbnails show for image files but not for video files. If I move this files out of dropbox (say to an external drive) the thumbnails load just fine. Therefore I am guessing this might be a dropbox issue. Some, but not all, of them do load after awhile. Are there any settings I can change to get my thumbnails to populate? Thank you.Solved32Views0likes3CommentsAndroid App: Fullscreen mode / Presentation mode / Slideshow for viewing images
Hello, until a few years ago, there seems to have been a “fullscreen mode”, “presentation mode” or “slideshow mode” in the Android app. This allowed you to swipe through photos in a folder without leaving fullscreen mode. Current: 1. click on an image in the image overview 2. the image becomes large (in Dropbox, no other standard app linked) with header and footer (info, share button, etc..., see image below) 3. you click on the image again: Header and footer disappear 4. the current state is the desired one [Now you would expect to swipe to go to the next or previous image] 5. however, swiping only takes you back to the view mode from 2. with header and footer 6. only now does the swipe work However, I would like to present photos and videos in full-screen mode using the app. The cell phone is connected to the TV via WLAN screen share. Why has this feature been removed? MfG André11Views0likes1CommentDropbox removes the images from my Word document and throws a preview error.
I have a Word document, compressed to 13gb that contains over 100 images, when I upload the .docx into Dropbox it either removes all the images and just previews text or it gives me the error ".docx files are supported but something went wrong". Any would be appreciated.27Views0likes3CommentsCommercial use of audio streaming on Dropbox, are there any GDPR requirements?
Hello! I have 2 questions: I sell audiocourses in books and give the users access to the audiofile with a QR Code. After buying the book the user can scan the qr code with his phone and listen to the audios (the audio player directly starts). 1) Is it ok to use dropbox for this function? 2) Is there any data transfer happening from user side, if he access the audio? Does he needs to give permission regarding GDPR? Thank you for your kind support!15Views0likes1CommentCan't use Quicklook or see thumbnail previews for online-only files.
It has been several years since I was able to quicklook a file or see its thumbnail preview. I've had multiple different macs in that timespan. Is this just how it is now or is there a setting I need to fix? Thanks, Jamie PS. I use Dropbox Teams.19Views0likes1CommentNo individual or sharing activity details
In the past two weeks, I am now no longer to view any individual or sharing activity details. I know there is substantial activity but I no longer can view any which has made Dropbox overall much more difficult to use. I am using Mac OS Ventura 13.4.1 All I see is a screen that says "here you'll find files or folders you've recently interacted with" although there is nothing in either my individual or sharing activity. It seems others are also reporting this having happened recently.15Views0likes1CommentBeing redirected to old pages when clicking on links to Dropbox pages
When I click on links to take me to Dropbox pages, I am instantly redirected to an old page and can't get out. I have tried logging out and back in, back can't shake it. In other words, I am jammed up. I review films and often press info is in Dropbox folders. Can anyone help? Thanks1.3KViews1like11Comments
