Dropbox Sign - Text tags partially visible during signing.
Hey everyone, As the title suggests, I'm facing an issue where text tags are not removed when a document is sent for signing (when the user opens it for signing), even though the `hide_text_tags` flag is set to true. This problem started recently—it used to work fine before. I'm wondering what might have changed and if there's a way to fix this. P.S. I know the documentation suggests changing the font color to match the background instead of using `hide_text_tags`, but I have many documents to update, so I'm looking for a programmatic solution.

I'm no longer able to edit documents in Word/Excel on iOS
I’m using a basic account on an iPad mini and have had no problems over the years opening and editing documents in word and excel. I recently switched to the newest model (7 with iOS 18.3.2), updated Dropbox, word and excel, restarted the tablet and am continuously being asked to activate Microsoft 365 to edit documents. I’ve tried just entering my Hotmail info which has worked in the past but it says subscription not found. My Dropbox account is showing in word on the left hand side as an other storage option and I can view and open all of my documents but can’t edit them. How can I fix this?
Slow playback when streaming with AVPlayer
We’re building an iOS App that streams mp4 video files from DropBox. We use SDK’s getTemporaryLink method and feed the returned URL to AVPlayer(url: …). The streaming doesn’t start until after a few seconds/minutes depending on the size of the file. Same issue when opening this link in a regular Safari tab. When opening the file directly in Dropbox website the video plays fine.
How can I make my password-saving app save its database to Dropbox and sync it to other devices?
I have a password program on my pc that saves the data base file to Documents\My Safes when it closes. Do I have to direct the program to save to the DBox folder instead of the...\My Safes folder if I wish to have the file automatically synced with Drop Box each time it is updated? Secondly, is it possible to have the file that is on DBox sync to the one on the PC if I change the Dbox file from my phone?Captcha when connecting app to dropbox on phone
I tried to connect Onlyoffice app to my Dropbox account on my phone (android) and should then prove that I am "human" by sorting a puzzle of placing a figure in a seat by combining a number wíth some icon. Even though I managed to sort the puzzle (several times) the Captcha just started over again. It was a terrible waste of time, when I just wanted to be able to write in my drop box files using onlyoffice and I feel really stupid that I am actually PAYING for this. Even though I until now have been a happy drop box customer. There must be other ways. Also it is difficult to see the icons, and being both a bit seeing and hearing impaired I feel that You are letting me down. Yours truly, KGApps in my iPhone say my Dropbox is empty when I try to attach files
Hello! Whenever I try to attach a file saved in Dropbox from an app (for instance, WhatsApp message, or Mail app) in my iPhone (iOS 18.1), the app says my Dropbox is empty, although it is fully synced in my phone. Interestingly, from the Messages app I'm able to attach a file and if I open the Dropbox app and select to export a file to WhatsApp or Mail, it works. I've tried disabling and enabling Dropbox from the Browse option, clearing history and website data and restarting the phone, and nothing worked. Any suggestions? Thank you!
Please implement a possibility to export all data to another Cloud Service
Please implement a possibility to export all data to another Cloud Service, just like Google did it with Google Takeout. For me flexibility is really important and so I don't want to use a Cloud Service, where I have to stay until I die if I can't or don't want to download all my data – which is with data from about 2 TV very difficult – and upload it to the other Cloud service…
Dropbox for Outlook: Option to save selected types of images
Hi The Outlook app needs options. I tried to use it to download pictures, but it took all the pictures inkluding icons from the mail signature. That is not usefull at all. There sould be an option inside the app. Something like: Only save those types: ☐ PDF ☐ Images ☐ PNG ☑ Gif ☐ JPEG ☐ Word dokument Size of file? mb: max min ETC.
