There are limits, always has been - until recently it was 15 minutes! The videos are only a preview. They are not designed to be watched in entirety on Dropbox. How about exporting to Vimeo?

If you upload via the website it should just replace the existing file. I use Dropbox on my computer and just file -> save as or drag and drop the file to replace it and all is good.

Yes, simply replacing the file with an identically named one will update the file for you without altering the link :)

If you havent installed Dropbox then you cant do what I said above, thats based on you installing Dropbox (as its designed to do) so that you can simply work on the files/folders inside of the Dropbox directory. What you'll need to do now then is go to www.dropbox.com/home, go to the directory you want and if you want…

You would simply go to the folder on your computer and drag/drop in to iPhoto (as you would from any other folder), or, do file -> Open in iphoto and open them that way, again, as you would any other.

You need the newest versions of iOS installed to get the 'Files' app

I'm afraid it has to be merged - that is the thread its being discussed and monitored on. Another thread isnt going to be seen or change anything as it makes it look like its only you on about it. I have tweaked the forum heading slightly though to make it more obvious what it is now. Also, I'm afraid the forum software…

Yes it will - even if you have deleted them from Dropbox it wont re-upload :) [This thread is now closed by moderators due to inactivity. If you're experiencing a similar behavior, feel free to start a new discussion in the Dropbox Community here.]

Yes it does :)

The website is only ever intended as a preview and for best results it needs downloading, but, you could try logging a ticket with support with examples of the links/files to www.dropbox.com/support and then track at http://dropbox.zendesk.com

Are you using the API?

Its possible that the folder structure is very close to the limit on their machines, but, you are over ever so slightly due to a different name maybe (e.g. your My Documents folder name therefore being longer), or, just your Dropbox in a different location. 

Sounds like actually the file folder directory is too long. Windows has a limit on directories of about 250 characters (i.e. 'C:\My Documents' is 15). If it is longer than 250 then they cannot be opened. Try renaming some of the files/folders to a shorter naming structure and you should find they open fine :)

Its currently in close beta. If you are part of the beta you will be able to install it via a pop up on screen when you go to http://paper.dropbox.com

Hey @"Nemanja604" Do you mean you can access both accounts via the computer or website at the same time? If so you are fine - they are not connected in any other way. It is simply a way for the software to allow you access to multiple accounts in one safe place. You can split them if you want, but, then you can only access…

Send in the details to support with specific examples: www.dropbox.com/support And then track at http://dropbox.zendesk.com

It has only done it because you've told it to @"MasterC" - its turned off by default. However, its easy enough to change. Simply alter the 'Camera Uploads' setting. 

Nothing here.... Which version of Dropbox you on? Is it a standard install with no symlinks/junctions etc. and on your main internal hard drive?

It depends TOTALLY upon your own set up - so nobody else can give any sort of comparison. What I would say though is that it will speed up once the initial folder creation is completed and it gets on to larger files. Dropbox sync's smallest -> largest and as smallest has the most overheads these are slowest to download.

Your folder structure must be too long on the device you are copying it to. So, shorten the directory names and it should work (note that error isnt a Dropbox one its one from OS Majave)

Do you have enough space to upload it @"h8_inefficiency"? Is your wifi connected?

Have you tried another browser? Cleared local cache/cookies etc.? I've not seen anything on here which would hint at a Dropbox wide issue.

One word of warning on this - Databases and Dropbox do not play together well. So, please make sure it syncs FULLY to a green tick before you open it on the laptop AND when you are finished with it at the end of the evening it syncs back to Dropbox's cloud with a green tick again before you shut down (you will probably…

There is no way to do that I'm afraid. BUT you can sort of trick the system to force a download of files by altering the URL slightly. 

Yes - and if they are not doing that you need to speak to MS I'm afraid. Dropbox doesnt alter any settings within folders (unless Smart Sync etc. is enabled). So why it isnt scrolling sounds like a bug at their end. 

Hi @"jah000" Good question :) The answer is yes - because that person will need to log in (or already be logged in) to access the share via the link. If somebody did intercept it and click on teh link even if they've a Dropbox account themsleves it wouldnt work since the link was sent to a diff email. 

Where are you seeing this? Whats the steps you are taking to save the file?

If you are using Smart Sync thats your issue - the files are not locally sync'd. So when you are double clicking to open the file its actually having to download it first. Then when you tap left or right there are no files to move to - what you see if just place holders.

No, there is no editing functionality for images I'm afraid. 

As a few of you are having it can I please ask you log a ticket at www.dropbox.com/support and link back to this thread? Once logged you can track at http://dropbox.zendesk.com
