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.

1307 TopicsDropbox Capture: more options / abilities once the recording is complete.
After finishing a recording, I would like it tonotopen a browser window with the video to show a preview in a small window in the bottom right corner (like the screenshot behaviour) Allowing me to drag that window into e.g. a Github comment box to directly upload the video there automatically copy the video into clipboard (if it's below 10mb or whatever), so I can paste it not wait 3s for the recording to begin (or an option) Thanks, Konrad20Views0likes2CommentsSome of my files show up as zero bytes
When I save file, the file will appear in my DropBox, but when I open it the file is completely blank or only kept an older version of the document. I realized some of these "saved" items are being saved as Zero bytes. I am not sure why this is happening.Solved30KViews0likes88CommentsOn Mac Sequoia, my Finder does not find Dropbox files.
Hi everyone! On my Mac I have a Dropbox folder which is automatically synchronized with my Dropbox online. I move may files from my Mac into that folder. I see the files in my Mac's Dropbox folder, and I know they are also in Dropbox in the cloud. The problem is that when I search in the Mac's finder, I cannot find the files. I can find them when I search via the menu bar app icon and find the files that way, but it's not convenient, I have to then select "show in finder". Before I could search in the finder directly for the files and the Finder would find the files in the Dropbox folder. What has changed? Why can't my Finder find files which are in my Mac's Dropbox folder?24Views0likes2CommentsTurn off line numbering when viewing text files
Is there a way to disable the entirely unnecessary and unhelpful line numbering when viewing text files? I don't need it and I don't want it. Why on earth was that added? I love Dropbox but they really need to stop springing surprise features on customers and allow us to opt-in. Some of the interface changes lately have been a huge nuissance and I've had to waste a bunch of time figuring out how to roll them back or disable them.12Views0likes1CommentDon't show this message again Print Layout View
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".19Views0likes1CommentEvery 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.Solved38Views0likes4CommentsVideo 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.Solved33Views0likes3CommentsAndroid 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 André15Views1like1CommentDropbox 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.27Views0likes3Comments
