Uploading images or other files from Android phone to Dropbox via 'share to Dropbox Android app', the behavior used to be that the folder I navigated to and used for uploads would be persistent across sessions & days, unless I changed location on a subsequent upload. Now the upload target directory resets to the top level…
Over and over, what a pita. I Upload a Photo to DB from my Phone. I click on File Explorer so as to access it on my Computer. It's NOT found in Camera Uploads or anywhere else. I check Online; it's there. I have no way to get into my one Folder as it already appears to be there, but AGAIN not synced in that same Folder on…
We have Dropbox business and have just over 1 TB free. But since we only have 6 TB in total, I have to see a FALSE message EVERY time I log in: "Storage will be full soon Based on current trends, your team is expected to run out of storage soon. Consider adding space to prevent workflow disruptions." I am a programmer. I…
Note: This is not about the preview pane that appears when you tap on a file name. It is, however, about the persistent empty preview pane that appears each time you launch the app, regardless of where you are in Dropbox, before you tap on anything. This has made using the app in vertical (portrait) challenging—read:…
I had a folder titled Knitting that had 27 folders inside of it with several hundred patterns in it. I don’t know where it went to and I cannot find it. On my iPad I see the Knitting folder and the 27 folders inside of it and they have the “download” arrows on them. However, when I try to download I just get a circle that…
Hello, on November 3, 2026 at around 3:55 PM (Paris time), I clicked "Restore" in "Deleted files" (account [Removed as per Community Guidelines]) for several files, including a photo folder called "Préville". No error message appeared, but the files disappeared from "Deleted files" without reappearing in "All files".…
When saving a file to a Dropbox folder that already contains a file with the same name, the app asks me to confirm the overwrite. If I choose Cancel, the existing file is still overwritten with the new file’s contents. This causes loss of the original file. Steps to reproduce: In the Dropbox iPhone app, save a file to a…
I am a freelancer with two main clients. I need access to their dropbox and to my personal dropbox. I need to switch between these accounts through my Mac finder easily Account 1 - Personal Account 2 - Client one (Parallel) Account 3 - Client two (Optima) I have three separate emails for each of these accounts. I own and…
I have a personal dropbox account and a work account (Studio parallel dropbox) My personal account quota is full but it's all shared files from my work account. It's like my work account is using all my personal quota. How do I stop this happening whilst still having access to all my files through my personal account and…
Hi there, Some time ago, I opened ticket #23006764 regarding access to my late father's Dropbox account (Bernard […]). Despite exploring every avenue available to us, we've hit a brick wall, so I wanted to reach out to the community again for advice. My mum and I are desperate to recover the family photos stored on his…
I really like that Camera Uploads renames photos with the date and time they were taken. I use the uploaded files as my originals, and the date-based names make them easy to sort and find. I would not want to lose that. The problem comes when I share photos from the phone with an AI assistant (an LLM), which I do often,…
I am a photographer and sometimes I want to show my photos to my clients on my tablet or my phone. But it works in an annoying way. I can show a photo full screen, but to swipe to the next one i have to tap it so the menus appear, then I can swipe and then I have to tap it again to make the menus disappear. It feels clumsy…
Dear Dropbox, in shared-link folder views, please show total folder size and file count before adding or downloading, so recipients can verify a delivery is complete. Thanks a bunch!
Dear Dropbox, in Dropbox file preview on dropbox.com, please include visible timestamps when using “Copy transcript” or copying transcript text, not just the spoken text. Thanks a bunch!
