1184 TopicsMy GarageBand project files keep getting deleted/renamed when adding them to Dropbox.
Dropbox stores the garageband projects as packages (.pkgf) instead of .band files, which so far doesn't seem to cause any problems. Is garageband just renaming them to a generic format or is it actually something different? I'm having an issue with anything new I create in garageband on my phone and later copy into dropbox, the file either disappears completely or renames itself (greyed out) until I open dropbox and rename the file. I would like to get the files off my phone, I used to use iCloud for storage but it stopped synchronizing correctly with windows 10 for me last year. I run a daily backup from my computer to an external hard drive so I have multiple backups, but I currently don't trust iCloud or dropbox for my garageband projects. Curious if anyone could provide any feedback on their experience using dropbox to store garageband projects. Ever had an issue trying to reopen a .pkgf file into garageband?18Views0likes2CommentsHow to disable annoying "Upload Complete" pop-up
I have multiple Dropbox accounts for several different clients, and as such, I must use the Dropbox website for uploading and downloading files I share for one of my clients. When I want to add my files to a Dropbox folder via the website, I always get a pop-up box with a confirmation that my upload has completed. This pop-up box is very annoying. It takes up a lot of space in the lower left corner of my screen, and the only way to get rid of it is to close it by clicking the "X." I upload files all day long and this confirmation pops up every single time. This requires a lot of extra clicking so that I can uncover and see pertinent information on my screen. Question - is there any way to disable this notification, or at the very least change it so that it pops up but disappears on its own after a second or two?708Views1like3Comments"Email to Dropbox" feature ...
for "Email to Dropbox" feature i rather have random numbers for email address (like UUID number, "591b6596-1632-434b-9dea-fb85db01ceab") or option to create you own email address (UniqueName@addtodropbox.com or username@addtodropbox.com) (no special characters, like !@#$%^&*, this could cause problems with email apps/tools) this is much safer and easier to use .. thank you André12Views0likes1CommentDropbox taskbar icon on Windows 11 doesn't allow drag and drop anymore.
So I'm sure this has been solved previously and posted here, but I just can't find the post (I've searched and tried various AI for answers too). Windows doesn't seem to allow drag and dropping files onto the drobox taskbar icon anymore. I'm sure someone created a workaround though, It might have been something like creating a file exlorer shortcut, then changing it to open dropbox folder, then pinning that to the taskbar.... But I can't remember - help appreciated!!! OS: Win11 x64 24H2 Dropbox desktop app.18Views0likes3CommentsWhy are photos being uploaded twice?
Hi there, I’m hoping someone can help me out as I can’t figure out why certain photos are being saved multiple times when I upload them. I upload from my iPhone and in my most recent upload, there were 27 photos in my camera roll that I uploaded and the total that ended up in the Dropbox folder was double that….. 54. It seems to be saving every photo as a png AND a jpg….? Please help. Thank you!35Views0likes3CommentsFile requests: Option to edit both the name of requester and description
Hi all! It would be great if we had a rich text option when writing descriptions for our file requests. It would also be great if I could change the name that's sending the request so it can come from my client and not me personally. Here's an example where some line breaks and HTML markup would be super helpful!20Views0likes1CommentHow can users upload files to my Dropbox account without editing/deleting them after that?
Permissions I know that Dropbox has 3 permissions. Root / Edit, Delete, Upload / Read The permission I need is to allow the uploader to upload, but not edit or delete. Is there a good way to do this?12Views0likes1CommentUpload stopped, how to see last file uploaded?
I navigated away from dropbox.com in mid upload. This seems to have stopped the upload. Is this expected behaviour? I can't see modified dates for my folders, only files within the folders. Is this expected behaviour? I need to see when the upload stopped. How can I tell which file was the last to be successfully uploaded without opening each individual folder?12Views0likes1Comment
