Upload

I noticed that, whenever I'm uploading a requested file on someone's folder, Dropbox change its name. Is someone else experiencing the same issue?

Attachment button in these posts has not worked for some time now. Any hints on why that is or solutions to fix? Or has that button been deactivated? Thanks!

Hey there. I currently use Dropbox for sharing files and upload my files mostly using the desktop app, which uses my full internet connection of 1Gbps, usually easy and no errors. My main issue: Some of my peers also use dropbox and will send me upload requests and vice/versa. These apparently can only be done through a…

I cannot make a folder within dropbox or save any document or file directly to Dropbox. If I want to put something in the Dropbox, I have to do a manual transfer every time. I am the admin of my Dropbox and my colleague has no problem doing this. A banned symbol is shown everytime I attempt to drag a file from my computer…

i uploaded a picture to dropbox, despite the fact that it was taken and modified a year ago, When I uploaded it to Dropbox, it said that the file was modified a minute ago and was placed in the wrong date category

Hi everyone, Does anyone know if it’s possible to create a publicly accessible folder where people can upload content - without needing to join the folder or reveal their names to others? I think Keinemusik do this after their gigs Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm new here and I'm trying to figure out a problem. So our website has embedded a shared Dropbox link to host the files so I can upload them to a server but it is a common issue that it is not syncing with the website. I have already tried to clear caches, checking fire wall, anti virus, network connections but…

I have a large, 165 GB file that my local computer can in no way accept into its Dropbox folder and then select online only. I have read that I can go Dropbox on my browser and upload a file directly to my account on the https://www.dropbox.com/home page. The first issue I see is that I can't select a folder to put it in.…

I'm doing some work for a company and would like to upload large files directly to their Dropbox folder. However, I have a free account, and the research I've done makes it sound like I can't join the folder because I don't have enough storage. Do I really have to purchase a subscription just to upload files to someone…

If this is a basic question then we apologise, but we are confused. Having looked in the Help area we see that it says is possible to transfer files (in this case photos) from an SD card into Dropbox, using the mobile app on an iPhone. We are a wildlife conservation team and would like to be able to do this for infield…

It would be really helpful if Dropbox offered an Upload New Version option. Both Google Drive and Box have this feature, and it makes file management much smoother. In Google Drive, you can right-click a file, go to File information, Manage versions, and then upload a new version while keeping the same file link. In Box,…

Hi, Does anyone have any solutions? Tried several times in drag and dropping multiple files to upload to a folder, but each file seems to upload one after the other. I've emptied the Dropbox cache, but that hasn't done anything. And I have a fibre connection of around 110mbps on a stable wired connection? Can anyone help…

Through file requests, is it possible to allow people to upload to separate folders? Right now all the uploaded photos are going into 1 folder. There doesn't seem to be an option for users to select which folder to upload to.

Hi there, I’m hoping someone can help me out as I can’t figure out why certain photos are being saved multiple times when I upload them. I upload from my iPhone and in my most recent upload, there were 27 photos in my camera roll that I uploaded and the total that ended up in the Dropbox folder was double that….. 54. It…

Hello, Wouldn't be a great idea for Dropbox to include the "Scan document" option in the menu showing up when pressing the app icon (iOS) like for Apple's Notes app ? I can send you a screen capture. Just my 2 cents. Regards. Robert Lespérance

Any idea?

Our team is still getting constant notifications for every new folder somebody creates. How on earth is this a solution?

I have followed and successfully created and replied to the Dropbox email address that has been created for me. When I reply/forward to the email, nothing is appearing in 'email attachments' folder. I can upload a file to this area but that's not what I want to do - I want to forward hotels confirmation emails to Dropbox.…

DB is trying to sync stuff in my Windows folder and I now have 15 sync issues. The "app" is about useless as mammaries on a ******. It lists them, then sends you to the folder if you click "view file," but there is no "don't sync this folder" option available. I can't click the thumbs down icon enough for "was this…

I believe since I updated my MacOS to Sequoia 15.4.1 a few days ago, my Dropbox app has faced a connection problem and tells me very frequenly that it is 'Reconnecting to the internet. This may take a moment'. It seems that the app can at times connect to internet and upload my files, but most of the time it gives the…

I've uploaded photos/videos/files from my phone to dropbox for years. I rely on this for work. In the last, say month, when I try to upload anything from my phone to dropbox, the files are visible on dropbox on my mobile, but they are not visible on the same dropbox account on my computer. This is extremely frustrating as…

For the Dropbox version IOS app 208.2.12 there is a bug that needs to be fixed and updated. I am using an iPad Pro 11" first generation. I am an ebay Powerseller. When taking pictures of my purses to sell and dropbox over to my Desktop PC then upload to my ebay store my pictures will not change to jpg format. They stay in…

Hello. Dear Dropbox Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to formally raise a complaint regarding the repeated suspension of my Dropbox public links due to alleged “excessive traffic.” Over the past 10 days, I have been receiving daily email notifications informing me that my public links have been…

Upload failed. Please try again Has been happening for the last 2 weeks. I'm using Safari. I'm on the basic plan, used just over 463MB. The files I'm trying to upload are pdf and csv files, 20-60MB in size from my MacBook, definitely local files, not on GWS etc.

Help please! I am uploading a folder from the company server and getting "empty files cannot be uploaded" errors for a handful of them. They are not empty and I can open and view the files on my computer to confirm (all PDFs). I tried copying the folder to my desktop and got even more errors. I did clear the browser data,…

Hi, I have always been able to upload my photos from my iPhone to the Dropbox app. Over the past several months it has been working. I am getting an error message - There was an issue communication with your photo library. I have already deleted the app and reinstalled it twice. I have restarted my phone and turned my wifi…

I have been uploading files/folders to my new Dropbox account and have an external hard drive that I've been uploading to Dropbox. I've been doing it slowly, one folder at a time or several files at a time. Yesterday I attempted to upload a file with lots of videos - this was a Photography class with video lessons. It…

Dropbox upload speeds are incredibly slow. Issue persists for years. Dropbox mods shut down discussions I have seen complaints from many people that Dropbox upload speeds are incredibly slow. Often less than 50 kBps. I have experienced this issue intermittently for years, but over the past 3 months it has become a daily…
