On the 'Photos' tab, recently taken videos do not show up but photos show up
Today I took a picture and a video on my iPhone 15. On the "Photos" tab in the Dropbox app, the recently taken photo shows up, but the video does not, even when I have the dropdown set to "All". (And several other videos I took a few days ago don't show up either.) And since the app can't see them, it's not syncing them to…

How can I remove my old shared files on my account?
I un-installed Dropbox on my iPhone and PC to purge all files returning to the free account. Re-installing, my iPhone now shows old shared files between the two. These are still live even though my Dropbox folder on my PC only has two small folders. (The old files were removed to a separate folder and should not even be…

How do you remove watermarks from AI-generated images stored in Dropbox?
I have been using Dropbox for organizing my AI-generated images and videos. The syncing and file management features work really well, especially when I need to access my files across multiple devices. Recently, I started creating some AI-generated character content for my own project, and I usually store all the original…

On the Dropbox iPad app, the right panel cannot be closed
I'm reporting a UI bug in the Dropbox iPad app involving the split-panel document viewer. This appears to be a regression of an issue previously reported by other users back in 2019. EXPECTED BEHAVIOR: Open a document in the Dropbox iPad app so that it appears in a split view: a smaller panel on the left and a larger panel…

Searching on the Dropbox site and mobile app is lagging
Out of the blue, while I was using DropBox on the website, the search just started to not work properly. Some files show up, but they do so in a random order, and the results vary based on capitalization. My files are all photos, but when I click on that bar only some show up as well, despite the fact that I've checked…

I can't scroll through my photos on one of my Samsung devices
I have two identical phones. In one of them, when I select a photo to view I can then continue to scroll through all the photos in the folder. On the other phone when I open a photo it is the only one to view so there is no scrolling available

iOS App: Add delete after upload option
I manually upload my photos from my iPhone using the Dropbox app and once a batch is uploaded, I manually have to find the same set of photos on the iPhotos app to delete them. There should be an option to “delete after upload” in the dropbox app. note: I am not talking about the automated camera upload (sync) option.

Free trial pop-up prevents accessing Dropbox from mobile browser (Firefox)
This is mostly a bug report (unless I've overlooked something obvious), as I couldn't find a better place to report it. When using the Firefox browser on my Android phone, I am unable to access my Dropbox files (via https://www.dropbox.com/home ), because almost immediately I get a full-screen pop-up offering a free trial…

Why is there no option for iOS camera uploads to upload new photos only?
this is something that has always bothered me when I use my the Dropbox app on iPhone for the longest time. Why is there no option to upload ONLY NEW files? Why is there just “choose a date” and “all photos existing and new photos”? Is there a way to have Dropbox automatically upload photos that are old in my gallery but…

Enhance the Photos Tab with Search and Advanced Filters
I'm evaluating Dropbox as the primary archive for my professional photography business, and overall I'm very impressed with the platform. One feature that would significantly improve the experience is adding search capabilities directly within the Photos tab. Currently, I can search filenames and folders from the Files…

Does Dropbox compress photos and videos when uploading directly from the iOS app?
Hello, I recently started backing up my photos from my iPhone via the Photos App + Dropbox extension, but I noticed that the file sizes changed drastically between what was displayed on the iPhone vs. what showed up on my Dropbox desktop app. Furthermore, I noticed that some of my videos went from 60fps down to 30fps. I…

Avif viewing inside iPhone app
hello, I love the fact the Dropbox supports .avif image format. But I encountered a problem in the Dropbox app. When I select an Avif image, and then I zoom in, the image turns black and white. After that, inside the app, I can only see it in BW. The image is not changed and inside the desktop app, it is unchanged, with…

Delayed camera upload
It would be very helpful to have an option to delay automatic camera uploads. Right now, photos are uploaded immediately, which means I often have to delete unwanted photos twice – first on my phone and then again in Dropbox. A delay (or temporary queue/“review before upload” option) would make it much easier to sort and…

Can no longer export to Kindle from Dropbox
Until a week ago, I always sent our sermon notes from Word to our Kindle Scribe, but now the files aren't showing up at all. I can still send a link to someone via text, etc. They don't show up in my Kindle app on my phone, either. What happened?

Two‑factor authentication app
Dear Dropbox Team, I would like to suggest that you create a dedicated two‑factor authentication (2FA) app for both mobile and desktop. What would make your solution different from existing authenticator apps is the ability to store a secure backup of the 2FA secrets directly inside the user’s own Dropbox account. This…

I find it very difficult to export files in the Dropbox app for iOS
On iPhone, Dropbox no longer shows an Export file option for me in the Files tab for [FILENAME] or [FILENAME] files. The only visible Share option pushes link sharing, and the only way I found to send the actual file is a clumsy workaround through Print and then the iOS Share button. If this is an intentional product…

ISSUE: In iOS search results, folder names are no longer displayed below the file names
I am finding it nearly impossible to work with Dropbox on iOS right now. To put this into perspective: seeing the folder path (project folder) alongside the file name is absolutely essential for me to quickly locate the right file. Recently, Dropbox stopped displaying folder names in the search results. This functional…

Is there an option to view only top-level folders on the iPad mobile app?
On my Mac desktop there is an option to view all folders via the left side navigation panel. This does not seem to exist on my iPad. Thus, when I choose "Files" from the navigation at the bottom screen on the iPad, there is no such option. Instead, "Files" shows me EVERYTHING as both folders and files. Is there a way to…

OCR feature doesn't work on scanned receipts (Dropbox Plus)
I have a paid account (Dropbox Plus). Supposedly you can scan receipts with the mobile app then search by words that appear in those receipts and it will pull them up. But it doesn't work. The receipts are legible when scanned, but for whatever reason, the OCR feature does not seem to work. I searched the help center and…

I can't find the file I uploaded to my Dropbox account via Voice Record Pro.
I have used Dropbox for years. Once a week I upload a file from Voice Record. Today when I tried to upload the file, I was prompted through a new logon sequence. Then I uploaded the file, but it is not in my regular Dropbox account. I suspect a second account was created because the file was uploaded someplace where I…

How can I re-upload all of my iPhone photos via camera uploads?
I discovered (when I happened to look in the "Camera uploads" settings) that I can upload Photos in the original format from my iPhone to Dropbox. Unfortunately, that setting had defaulted to "jpg", so all my photos until now have uploaded as jpg. I would like to reupload all my Photos from my iPhone to Dropbox but I can't…
