Default PDF viewer on iPad
Is there a way to change the default PDF viewer in the Dropbox App for the iPad? When I click on "Open in" in a PDF, it only shows the option of Adobe, but I use PDF Expert. (In contrast, on my Mac, when I double click on a PDF in my Dropbox folder, it automatically opens in PDF Expert). If I can't change the default PDF viewer to PDF Expert on the iPad, what is the easiest way to open a PDF from Dropbox in PDF Expert? (Of course I already know that I can start IN PDF Expert and open Dropbox files there from Dropbox, which I have linked to it; but this is for when I happen to have begun from the Dropbox iPad app instead.)
My Dropbox account is not syncing to my work PC or iPhone, why?
I am creating files on my home PC and saving them to Dropbox. When I try access them on my work PC they are not in the folder. My subscription is up to date and my syncing says all the files are up to date (on my work PC). The same problem is happening with my iPhone. So basically, none of my "boxes" are seeing one another????
Uploading images/videos from iPhone resets the name to today's date instead of its creation date
Hello Dear Dropbox-Team, I find it very useful that Dropbox changes the names of my images and videos to this uniform format "[Foto|Video] DD.MM.YY, HH MM SS.[jpg|png|mp4|...]" when I upload them from my iPhone using the client. For example, my image named "IMG_1234" will be named "Foto 01.01.20, 12 59 55". This helps me a ton to organise my images/videos on a separate drive by sorting by name, since the date is embedded in the filename. Unfortunately, this does not work for all images. After uploading some of my images, the creation date is reset to today's date, which breaks this organisation system. I have not changed the metadata on these images, but it still happens. Is there a way to make the naming convention consistent, propably with a fix? Thank you in advance for answering my question 🙂Photos and videos display on wrong date on my iOS device
I have an issue where some of my videos and photos have been auto uploaded from my iPhone they have the correct date (2016 08) as the file name. But in my photo display as today’s date 2024 10 31, when you look at information on the files they also show the correct date. So why are these image showing in year 2024 month October? They should be 2016 in May (which the majority of the images and photos taken at the same time do).
