Please stop asking if I want to upload photos
Every time I login in the app I get asked if I want to upload my photos. I do not and never will. But there is no possibility to say: ‘stop asking’ so it totally drives me crazy. I can only say: ‘no’. So the app keeps asking me. Please fix this. It’s driving me insane.

Uploading multiple video files from Google Drive is cumbersome and time-consuming: find the file, download to computer, upload to desktop, delete the downloaded file, and repeat, over and over.

Adding Google Docs files to my Dropbox folder adds a copy of the file and not the original
I love this feature but it actually makes a copy of the document that is on Google Drive, which risks having people add edits in different places. Is there anyway to avoid this? Even if there was just an option to open the link to Google Docs from Dropbox. The only way to avoid this, it seems is to create the file in…

Last but not least I'd like to set them directly with "online" view, to avoid that…
