Upload

Overs the years I've used Dropbox to backup my pictures and videos. However I recently got a new iPhone, and I want to move all my photos/videos back onto my iPhone. From what I can tell, the best way to do this is using iCloud Photos. But I now see that Dropbox have converted most of my photos into .jpeg and most videos…

I am on the latest iOS and Dropbox for my iPhone 13. Dropbox 324.2 and iOS 16.4.1 I noticed that it was going forth between 5 and 4 photos left. There is plenty of room in dropbox. Nothing has been uploaded. I followed the instructions mentioned here…

Hello, I’ve been using camera uploads since I got my first iPhone in 2011. Somewhere along the way, the uploads became erratic and I don’t believe they have uploaded everything from 2021-2023 correctly. I don’t want to do it manually, since the naming convention won’t match the one I’ve been using since 2011 (the…

Hi, Whenever I connect my iphone to my mac, the "Can't import photos from this device" pops up, but the photos do get backed up to dropbox. However, I do not see my iphone device in Sync and backups tab, and assuming maybe that's the reason why the pop up keeps showing. It's quite annoying because it's not only once that…

Currently, my MacBook Pro with the M1 chip, purchased in October 2022, is syncing my files to Dropbox at less than 1mb/sec, but I've seen that I can send up to 100mb/sec to Dropbox. My initial sync 2 weeks ago was smooth. Yesterday, I made 200GB worth of changes (additions/edits), and since then, the sync has been slow.…

As a Dropbox fan, Google Drive has always been a nightmare to me, due to its unstable download speed, horrible syncing app, irrational sharing logic, etc. I used to be able to transfer files directly from Google Drive to Dropbox using the Dropbox's native feature on Jun 18, 2022. I thought it was the day to end the Google…

I am well below my storage space, yet I can't upload anything; I get the message that I am out of storage space. The details are as follows: Using 0.01 GB of 2 GB space. Can anyone tell me what I am missing here? Thank you.

Why does this happen: 20 minutes and more after my last edit, the message "Saving..." still appears at the top of the tab. If I try to close the tab, I'm warned that changes may not be saved. I think the changes are in fact saved, but why the misleading message? Thanks for any help. Schwenck
