Upload

I want to upload a file from my python script to my dropbox account automatically. I can't find anyway to do this with just a user/pass. Everything I see in the Dropbox SDK is related to an app having user interaction. I just want to do something like this: https://api-content.dropbox.com/1/files_put//?user=me&pass=blah

I'm getting extremely slow upload/sync speeds. I know it's not my connection as I'm getting 900mps upload. I rely on dropbox for my business and it's causing me to not be able to transfer files by my deadline. 

provide the ability for all uploaded files to be categorized with a-z sorting so that all users may select one or more of the downloaded files in a secure download form.

When a user uploads files via a file request link, the files show as being last modified by me, not the uploader. I tried with the uploader both signed in and signed out, no difference. I really need to see the uploader in the last modified field.

According to this other thread, the feature has been delivered but the iOS app still doesn't support Live Photos from camera uploads. Photos are still uploaded as static images. What am I missing? https://www.dropboxforum.com/idea/101002013/automatic-upload-of-live-photos/569242?topicRepliesSort=postTimeDesc

Hi, I have the dropbox app installed in my Pixel backing all my photos and videos. How do you backup the motion pictures WITH the motion to dropbox? So far only the jpeg gets uploaded. When I look at them in the dropbox folder in my computer or online there is no video. So I can't delete the motion photos from my phone…

How do I sync a folder from my Mac TO Dropbox, while PREVENTING Dropbox from updating that folder on my Mac? I use Dropbox to remote backup roughly 1.6 TB of data in the form of a virtual disk. (Functionally, the virtual disk is a folder containing a zillion data files.) I want my files to sync TO Dropbox when local files…

I am using dropbox to allow people to send me videos for an online class. These people do not all have dropbox accounts and I understand they should be able to send me videos without having an account. I create a folder and send a link and they are having a very difficult time uploading the videos using that link.

Upgraded to a premium account a few days ago and first lot of uploads went fine but now I keep receiving network error message. Im using the latest iOS app with over 20gb free space on my device. I’ve tried closing the app, restarting the device and reinstalling as I’ve seen a lot of people have had this issue. Please help

I have the same 'Waiting to upload' issue on my Galaxy S24 with the latest app version. So far, the only workaround is uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

I am currently organizing my wedding. One of the ideas that I have is providing guests with a QR code that direct them to my dropbox. The intent is for them to take pictures on the big day and upload them to the file so that after the wedding I can transfer the pics to shutterfly to make a book. When I asked a friend to…

I have the 2T dropbox account. I'm uploading my cellphone's pictures/videos in a total size of about 400GB. How can I verify if all my files have done uploading? I'm selling the phone so I don't want to terminate the process too soon, or lose any important data. Thanks

Dropbox stores the garageband projects as packages (.pkgf) instead of .band files, which so far doesn't seem to cause any problems. Is garageband just renaming them to a generic format or is it actually something different? I'm having an issue with anything new I create in garageband on my phone and later copy into…

Is there a way to have upload access only? I have an employee I want to upload receipts to a folder, but don't want him to have access to the rest of the company receipts as some are confidential. 

Hi, My Dropbox seems to not want to upload Apple iPhone Photos and Videos to my created files. I create photo and video content which I need to distribute to clients using my iPhone however the upload process is almost non existent. I have the Essentials Plan with 3TB storage. I select the maximum files for upload (400 a…

Bit of a random one! I've used Dropbox for years without issues, but over the past week, I've been uploading hundreds of client photos, and for some reason, Dropbox is generating duplicate files. These duplicates are all 4KB in size, can't be previewed, and don't exist in the original folder I'm uploading from. They also…

Permissions I know that Dropbox has 3 permissions. Root / Edit, Delete, Upload / Read The permission I need is to allow the uploader to upload, but not edit or delete. Is there a good way to do this?

I navigated away from dropbox.com in mid upload. This seems to have stopped the upload. Is this expected behaviour? I can't see modified dates for my folders, only files within the folders. Is this expected behaviour? I need to see when the upload stopped. How can I tell which file was the last to be successfully uploaded…

Goodmorning, I recently started working with Dropbox again and want to upload all my pictures from my iPhone (iCloud) to my Dropbox. It’s about 125,000 photos and it’s not easy, as my app stops after several minutes. At first it started counting and now counting down as it uploads each photo/movie. But I have to open the…

Hey guys so I uploaded pictures from my DSLR Camera to my laptop and then from laptop to my drop box but now all were uploaded from Camera what do i do please help me pictures are from my kids soccer games

I'm the owner of this account, have created a folder for it ("free" Basic), and used the proper Dropbox channel to UL a file to it. Plenty of space available fpr the file. The person the folder is being shared with received their "folder share" notification. The endless loop is a new glitch, and nothing else about my…

Using the Save As feature, I have a total loss of audio when converting from MOV to a MP4 720P or MP4 360P file (the video conversion looks fine). Any ideas on how to remedy this? The reason for compression is that it's a large file (489MB). I need to reduce to at least a <60MB.

When I upload files to a selective sync folder, the "duplicate file warning" does not appear. If there are 2000 files, they are all uploaded from the beginning. I think this is a waste of energy for both Dropbox and me. However, in folders that are not selectively synced, the duplicate file warning appears well. And this…

Hello, for several days I'm experience a syncing error with the Android app. Anything updated from the Android device appears on other connected devices, but not the other way around. Updated files from my home and work computers appear at dropbox.com but not in the Android app. I have restarted my phone several times and…

Hello, I plan on moving around 250GBs worth of files from my OneDrive to my Dropbox. Is there a tool or anything that I can use to help with this migration? Is there a recommended procedure to run through? Would tools like Robocopy suffice? Thanks

Hi, was wondering what the problem might be. Everytime I go to upload my file (a 40mb zip file), drop box uploads, but after a few minutes it stops. It shows by the file name 'Paused - no internet'. and also there is a brown label at the bottom of the uploads dialogue saying 'Uploads paused Make sure your internet…

Hi, I've created a QR code that links straight to my drop for wedding guests to upload their photos of the day. I've done a couple of tests with the QR code and it links to the drop box and file where I'd like the photos to be uploaded. So that works. However, Dropbox has asked every time the QR code is scanned to 'Add…
