Hi Dropbox Support Team,
I’d like to report an issue I’m experiencing when using Dropbox in combination with DaVinci Resolve, as well as suggest a potential improvement.
In my workflow, I edit videos in DaVinci Resolve and store my project folders inside Dropbox. I collaborate with clients and project partners directly inside these folders and use Dropbox comments for feedback, which ideally should appear inside DaVinci Resolve’s timeline.
However, when I export a video from DaVinci Resolve and enable the option “Upload to Dropbox”, the application behaves unexpectedly: it creates two versions of the file. One version is correctly saved in the project folder I selected during export (which is also synced via Dropbox), but DaVinci Resolve additionally uploads another copy into the root folder of my Dropbox account.
The issue is that only the copy in the root folder becomes linked to Resolve’s comment integration, meaning comments and feedback are associated with the wrong instance of the file. This leads to confusion and unnecessary duplicates in my storage.
Suggested improvement:
It would be extremely helpful if the “Upload to Dropbox” functionality would upload the file only to the folder selected during export, rather than defaulting to the root directory. This way, the file used for collaboration, feedback, and timeline comment syncing would be consistent and properly organized within the designated project folder.
This change would significantly improve efficiency and clarity when collaborating with clients inside structured Dropbox project directories.
Thank you very much in advance for your support and consideration.
