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.
Do collaborators automatically have access to new documents in shared content?
When I add new documents to a folder, do my collaborators who have access automatically receive access to the new documents? I notice there's a pop up box that has the option to send to them for review, but I just want to know they have an updated folder with the new documents. Thanks.
Microsoft Teams integration loses login connection every other day
The new Microsoft Teams integration is great; we can now open shared links directly on the Desktop via the native app, which is a great time saver. Only bug for the integration is that users have to login to Dropbox via Teams every other day. It loses the login authorization and the 'open file in app' function is then not available anymore. Users need to login everyday in to Dropbox via Teams to make it work again.
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?
I can't see another user's updates on a shared file and they can't see mine
Please, I am sharing a file that weighs only 120 megabytes with a user who has 1.5Gb of free space in his account. We have shared the file for more than 4 weeks, today when I made an update the user cannot see it, nor can I see the updates he has made. please does anyone know what is happening and how to fix it?Make it easier to remove external collaborators on a Dropbox team
in our account, we currently have 89 external collaborators that I would like to remove. Each collaborator has on average 40 files shared with them and it currently takes four clicks to remove each shared file so 89 x 40 x 4 = 14,240 clicks. I don't have that kind of time or patience. Right now, I guess I just leave them and hope they don't access the files any longer. In the future, we just will not use the exterior collaborator feature - seems completely unworkable.
Do shared files count against my storage space?
Hello- I am wondering if shared files count in the total allowed in the basic (free) plan. There are a number of people and one non-profit organization I share files with for a total of about 7 GB. Personally I use about 1 GB. Will I be able to continue with the basic plan under these circumstances? Thanks for any help/advice!
