Upload

Hi I upgraded my PC and moved my drives but ever since I have this upload issue. Anything large (over 1GB) gets to the end and just hangs. Tried with the app and web browser(s) but always the same. Smaller files work ok. Still works fine on my lap top too via chrome. I have 2TB DB storage space with well over half free so…

In my workflow, I need to send documents created in Dropbox Paper to external destinations, in PDF format. I'm new to Dropbox Paper but not web apps: I can't insert a company logo image so it's at the top of the document. When I insert the image in the title of the document or even at the top, as the first element, there…

hello I am new to dropbox using the free version. I have 5 files I need to upload and not sure how to begin. I think they can be saved as a file or folder which everyone works best for me. Part of the situation I am not understanding how to get it's email destination. Am I missing anything else I'll need to get it there.…

In the naming conventions it states that periods (.) are not allowed in filenames. I am looking for a data sharing solution for my company but we have thousands of filenames that have dates that use a period as a separator such as "To-do 08.08.2023.pdf". What will happen when this file is synced? Will it sync the file…

We have an external drive with nearly 3 TB of videos, each varies from 5 MB to multiple GB. We have been trying to upload them to dropbox through dropbox.com for days. Each file takes at least an hour to upload. Is there a better way to get this much data into our dropbox?

I used to have an iPhone, and it seems that the iPhone puts all pictures regardless of their source into the same folder, and the dropbox app automatically backs that up to the Camera Uploads. Now I have an android phone, and it puts pictures saved from various apps into different places, and then the dropbox app…

Hi everyone. I would like to create a folder that people can upload pictures to for a party. I plan on using the "File Request" feature in Dropbox and provide the link via QR code, but would prefer if the people didNOT have to enter their name and email. Is this an option? 

Hi all, First off, I do think Dropbox does better than most on monitoring, but a few changes would be good: * Dedicated box for showing uploads that STAYS PUT and does not disappear, esp. useful for those of us uploading very large files (like disk images) that take maybe a day to complete. * Make the display of upload…

Dear all, I'm using Dropbox since years (mostly for PDFs) and for several years had a very (!) slow upload rate (5-7 Mbps), but upload worked. Since a few months now my upload rate is very good (today >28 Mbps), but during upload Dropbox seems freezing just after the start. Actually, this was the reason to cancel Dropbox…

Hi there, Update: Dropbox has now decided that the second file is uploaded and the other one is still going. Which is ... OK, but it should really not make stuff up half-way through the process. I'll keep monitoring and report back once the big file is properly online. OK, first problem with Dropbox encountered already,…

I appear to have two drop box accounts. One shows up in my ipad apps and on my pc file explorer and works great. I don't know how to log in or out of it and I have no idea what my user name or password is but I am paying for it. The other is linked to my older email address and is the only way I can tell people to send me…

I was able to import files directly from Google Drive using the following directions (https://help.dropbox.com/create-upload/copy-from-google-drive), but at some point it stopped syncing (2000/8000 files imported) and the option to do this under the ellipsis disappeared.

I have a large number of mp3 files on my Windows 10 desktop that I cannot upload to Dropbox. These files are not music -- they are files downloaded from a book CD. They were originally cda files, but I converted them to mp3 using Windows Media Player. Other mp3 files in my computer can be uploaded to Dropbox easily. How…

Hi there. I uploaded a bunch of photos and videos when i was on the main Dropbox home page on Windows. I wanted them to show under the 'photos' tab, but they are all showing as files on the main home page. Please can you help to explain what am i doing wrong? And what is the correct way to upload photos manually from my…

Hi I'm on Mac, and I need to backup my external drive. and I can't find a way for the dropbox app to "see" the external drive! 1) when I first setup that drive, there was an auto massage from Dropbox if I want to add it to back up. I clicked No, as I was still setting setting up that drive. 2) Now I need to back that drive…

How to upload to Dropbox, without using up local disk space?

iPhone X, iOS 16.1 Manual upload of photos and videos with .jpg / .mov conversion enabled in Dropbox. Of 2,700 photos & videos uploaded, about 450 are accessible. The files that are accessible follow the expected naming convention of "Photo <mmm> <dd> <yyyy>, <hh> <mm> <ss> [AM/PM].jpg" based on when the photo was taken.…

I have uploaded hundreds of photos from my iPhone, but Dropbox hasn't kept them in the order they were taken, i.e. the order they were on my phone. Please Dropbox, I need a way to sort by the date of creation, not the date of upload. Fingers crossed you can help with this very soon 🤞🙏

I just want to share my photos or videos to my computer/external hard drive. How can I do this seemingly simple task?

Dear Dropbox, I've emailed some ideas, beginning with my most important feature idea to my least. Hello, I feel it an important feature to begin supporting "live" photo uploads from phone. I understand that once I upload a photo from my iphone to Dropbox, the "live" photo does not save as "live", but instead as a still…

Plenty of space but Dropbox keeps telling my team that THEY'VE run out of space when they try and upload files to my Dropbox. What is going on? 

I have recently set up a basic account to try Dropbox out. I have successfully managed to upload some videos and photos from my iphone to my dropbox account. I have hardly used any of the allowance I have. I am now trying to do the same and I keep getting the message 'empty files cannot be uploaded' They are Mov or jpeg…

Can anyone tell me when I upload photos, it says Only You. What does that mean

I can't upload an .odt file (Libre Office/Linux) from Disk Drive (SanDisk/480 GB) to Dropbox. Why?

it was working yesterday, now I have 2 Brother printers/scanner, different model that I try to scan and upload the scan on Dropbox and it fail. Does Dropbox have server down or any upgrades happen in last 24-48h??? And no, my space it not full (48%) and I can login into my account from computer. JC

Is it possible to transfer files from Google Drive to Dropbox with the advanced plan? How can I do it?

I have plenty of space but I can't get a single file to upload. No error, it just shows "uploading" but it never changes from 0.

How do you stop automatic uploading of pictures & videos when you pugin a phone to a PC? I've read the article on how to do this, but I can't find the 'Preferences setting' in any drop down menus like they say. I don't want to use Dropbox for this. It's just not accessible enough.
