Upload

I was hoping to avoid uploading and downloading a 125GB file multiple times that I already have in WeTransfer. Other services allow for a dedicated email address to send large files to that will automatically add those files to storage. Perhaps you could convey that to your product management team as an enhancement…

It seems that the maximum size of a file uploaded (from the desktop application) to dropbox is 2TB. How can I get around this limitation? Does using the API allow this? I have very large files to transfer. Thanks for your help! On the Dropbox desktop app Files and folders uploaded on the Dropbox desktop app can be up to 2…

Automatic uploads keeps remaining files. Please allow to keep the original file name when uploading. This makes the files harder to manage as I cannot search for their original names anymore.

I can see lots of posts asking for support for Live Photos. I feel quite cheated that I have lost the ability to see these photos. As someone else has also posted, I have little snippets of my mother’s voice and movement that I have lost forever and she has passed away. Dropbox offer a photo sync service which means they…

I noticed Dropbox Backup today, looks good for my needs as a long time solo user w/ a 2TB account. Selected documents and music folders in my Mac user account, all looked OK then....nothing, no movement. Stuck at 0% even though it says updating 2,367 files and 1 sec remaining. Nothing, nada. I've rebooted, removed the…

A client shared their dropbox link with me to upload files and it keeps telling me my personal account is full and to upgrade. I don't want to upgrade my account. The clients have a full account and I joined their folder to upload too. How can I get rid of this error.

Hi everyone! I need to integrate a web widget into a website so that users can upload their photos. Dropbox have such a widget or do I need to look for a third-party solution to integrate with your storage?

I have been a long time free user of Dropbox. The free plan was enough for an occasional share. But I have a huge photo archive as a photographer, and I also scanned all the family photos and digitized all the VHS and film videos. I have a backup of everything on at least 5 different physical storage media. I am thinking…

Hi everyone! I want to switch to using a Dropbox service from another service, and I can't quickly find the necessary information regarding such functionality that would help analyze photos before uploading them to storage. Does Dropbox have such functionality?

I have a website where I share recordings of my piano playing with family/friends. I use blogspot to link to the audio files that are in a public folder on Dropbox. I have used the same html for 12 years, but suddenly the copied links from Dropbox won't work embedded - the controls are greyed out. I've spent 2 hrs trouble…

Anything I try to sync or upload from my mobile device stays in the queue until I log out and back in. Once I do, I can sync/upload again, but after a short time it stops. Cache has been cleared, latest updates installed, no locked folders. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how to fix. Thanks!

HI, There is currently no way to set the naming convention when creating a file request through the API. Therefore the uploader name is added to the file automatically and we have no say about it. The idea to implement the option to set the naming convention through the api https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/file_requests/create…

My screenshots are not saving to Dropbox at all even though the option is checked to do so right under settings. In fact I have the Snipping Tool for Windows 11 turned 100% off because I hate the dang thing and prefer screenshots hence why I use the "PRT SC" button in the first place! I don't want Screenshots going to…

I want my lives to automatically save on DropBox and then when I come to DropBox and download it to my apple products I can still see them as Lives.

So I'm sure this has been solved previously and posted here, but I just can't find the post (I've searched and tried various AI for answers too). Windows doesn't seem to allow drag and dropping files onto the drobox taskbar icon anymore. I'm sure someone created a workaround though, It might have been something like…

I have set up the option to email attachments to my Dropbox folder and have tried several times and from different email addresses but nothing is ever showing up in the designated Dropbox folder. Any help with this would be gratefully received!

Hey everyone, I've been running into some frustrating issues when trying to upload large HD videos to Dropbox, and I was hoping to get some insight or possible solutions. Here's what's happening: * Extremely Slow Uploads – Even with a stable, high-speed internet connection, large files (a few GBs) take way longer than…

I have multiple Dropbox accounts for several different clients, and as such, I must use the Dropbox website for uploading and downloading files I share for one of my clients.

I am the owner of a shared folder that is available on my desktop. However, I cannot add any files to that folder. I get an error that I don't have permission. However, I can add files to that folder when I'm on the web. 

Hi, I am using dropbox http api to automate a file upload using php. The script is fine but sometimes I noticed that the file upload is stucked. Is it possible to retry the upload? Hope someone can help me.

Why this automatic change of date to current date when upload files to Dropbox -- no other cloud type storage system does this date change? I use both Safari & Windows (depending which laptop I use at time) to do these file uploads. Its a pain in ****** that it changes date so I have to upload then go in and modify to date…

Hi, I’m an Emergency Services photographer, and I regularly provide USB’s filled with images of their station, trucks and personnel. Each time I receive a USB back to add new content, I have to manually delete the existing files from the USB to put the new Synced DropBox stuff onto it or manually select the rows of photos…

I am setting up a system for my clients to be able to upload files using a file request link but I can't find a way for them to be able to comment on the files. Once they click upload, they no longer have access to the file and most don't have a Dropbox account. If it's not possible, I would suggest that it be submitted as…
