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.
How get notified if automation was successful/failed?
I have an Automated Folder that converts the uploaded file to PDF and saves it. I am using Dropbox API for it. Is there a way for me to programmatically check whether/when the PDF file generated by the automation is available? How should one go about it?
Can I automatically move the subfolders I've listed in an Excel file into a shared folder?
I have 10,000 subfolders with unique numeric names. I need to sift out 1000 of these subfolders into a shared folder. The list of these 1000 folders is in an Excel (or .csv) file. Is there a Dropbox automation that will move or copy the correct subfolders into the shared folder based on the Excel list?
Why Watermark Automation Is NOT working?
Hi, I have the professional essential plan, and I added watermark automation into the folder including all subfolders. I also adjust the size, color, and opacity to make sure it will show up. However, none of the photos in the folder was watermarked. I have to go into each folder and added the watermark manually which doesn't make sense at all. Can anyone tell what I did wrong? Thank you!
Folder/File Automation and Tagging improvements
Add logic to automations via file tags "if file tagged X, rename file with Y". "if file tagged X, convert the file to a different format". "if file tagged X, resize the current image file". "if file tagged X, perform any other automation actions". "if file tagged X (on upload) put a copy of it in folders Y, W and Z" Every file should have a tag associated with it by default when its uploaded via mobile or desktop. We could then build all of our automations based off file tags, regardless of what folder a file is in. Right now its the other way around, automations are built on folders, not the files themselves.How to categorize images automatically based on content inside with Dropbox AI?
Hi everyone, I checked on Google and found that Dropbox has AI feature. I want to ask how to use it to categorize images based on content inside with Dropbox AI. I have 5000 images about fashion mostly. Some are leather clothes, some are Jean, some are Blazers, some are T-Shirts... I want to move all images auto to some folders that fit with their categories automatically. If Dropbox AI or Dropbox Automation or any tool out there can do that, please guide me. Much appreciate!!! Yours Sincerely, Nathan
Allow automated folders to be duplicated with the automation in the duplicates
Would it be possible to duplicate folders with automation in them, aside from performing them manually? Would love to create an "automation" that can easily be added to new folders created, or simply copy over when duplicating an existing folder.
