56 TopicsHow can I ensure that the deletions I made while offline sync to my account online?
Device Windows PC Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Windows 11 Hopefully someone can help with this. I have a full offline sync in place with dropbox. I had a large number of duplicate files within dropbox across multiple Dropbox folders - 145GB worth in fact. With sync paused I deleted this 145GB worth of files on my PC. I now have what I want online stored locally on my PC What I want to know is how do i get this version of the truth to sync online? What I want when I resume sync is the files that have been deleted from my PC will also be deleted from online. What concerns me is when I start sync again it will in fact download all the files I have just deleted. How do I ensure that online now mirrors what I have on my PC, and not the other way round?Solved64Views0likes5CommentsWhat's the best way to upload my photos and keep existing file dates?
Device 2023 MacBook Air Laptop Operating System/Browser (if using the web) Mac OSTahoe 26.0 Questions I want to consolidate all of my digital photos from various hard drives onto Dropbox. Due to the amount of photos (25 years), they need to upload straight to online Dropbox because my laptop doesn't have the memory to store them all. I want to make sure I don't alter any of the creation dates as I organize them chronologically. Once uploaded, I would like to edit the library online including the process of deleting many. Finally, I would like to copy the final project back onto my laptop and other hard disk storage areas. What is the best way to move forward with uploading the photos to achieve my goal? Note: Many of the photos are duplicates but of different sizes- including thumbnails. I am hoping that Dropbox will keep duplicates unless they are identical in size- then I only need 1. How will Dropbox handle uploading duplicate images of different sizes, proportions, edits? Any additional thoughts/comments most welcome!Solved93Views0likes3CommentsCan't remove my access from a shared folder since I don't have the option.
Question or Issue I want to remove my access from a shared folder, where I am an editor to save up space (without deleting the shared folder for anyone else). I followed the advice from here: https://help.dropbox.com/share/leave-shared-folder. The problem is that from "manage permissions", I don't have the dropdown menu, where I can click "remove my access" (I am KA on the screenshot). I tried this on my Dropbox windows app and also from the browser website but I still can't do it. When I select delete on the said folder, it only offers to delete the shared folder for everyone. Is there any way I can remove the shared folder for myself so that it stays for others? Thanks for any help.86Views0likes3CommentsCamera uploads renamed all files to HH:MM:SS format omitting the date
Hello, Suddenly today most (except a couple?) of my files in Camera Uploads folder got renamed to just HH:MM:SS removing the date whatsover from the filename. This included not only latest files but also older ones that were in this folder for long time. Not sure what triggered this action, but I can see all of those were renamed today ~20:54 which coincidentally is when I opened Dropbox app on my phone.: I'm using iOS app to sync my photos for years and it was working flawlessly from two separate iPhones. App version is 434.3.2 Assuming bug?117Views0likes4CommentsI organized a massive amount of files on the desktop app, but sync seems to have stopped.
Yikes! Everything had been going well. Uploads to Dropbox from my main external HDs seemed fine. The DropBox online and my iMac were synced. THEN, I continued sorting, reorganizing, renaming the folder structure, moving around some files, deleting others. Not sure how many hours, but a lot. NOTICED that the online thru browser no longer reflected my files on Desktop. In troubleshooting it seemed okay to quit and restart the desktop app. I also restarted my computer. This has not solved anything. For hours now, the pull down report from menu bar says it's syncing "16.214 files 9MB" but, I do not see any progress. The browser doesn't reflect the changes. WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP? I want to retain all the organization work. I am worried if I redownload and install the app, I may end up with an earlier state of the files. Please advise.Solved229Views0likes6CommentsImprovements in regards to the way the new screenshot feature works.
Deutsch: Dropbox Screenshot- und Markup-Feature – Bitte verbessern! Hallo zusammen, ich bin frustriert vom „verbesserten“ Screenshot-Feature in Dropbox. Die aktuelle Umsetzung stört meinen Workflow erheblich. Folgende Punkte fehlen oder sind unpraktisch: Bild in Zwischenablage behalten oder einfach kopieren können Zoom im Markup-Editor für präzises Arbeiten Teilausschnitte kopieren, nicht nur zuschneiden Standardprogramm wählbar, statt Zwangsöffnung im Markup Vollwertiges Snipping Tool oder zumindest erweiterte Screenshot-Funktion English: Dropbox Screenshot & Markup – Needs Improvement Hi everyone, I'm frustrated with Dropbox’s new screenshot feature. It seriously disrupts my workflow. Key issues: Keep image in clipboard or allow quick copying Zoom in Markup Editor for detailed editing Copy selections, not just crop Choose default app, not forced Markup Snipping Tool-style features or upgrade the current one yours Alex77Views0likes1CommentCan I create a document in my Dropbox folder with links to items in shared links?
Hi, I have a folder in my dropbox with a different item on each page. I have also done a contents page listing each item. I would like to be able to tap on an item in the contents and it take me straight to the specific page. Each page has a specific title. Is it possible to do this and if so, how....I aren't great at the IT aspects so any simple guidance would be great. I have seen music/song books where you can go to a song in the contents and you can tap on the one you want and it takes you straight to that page/ song. There is also a note on each page you can tap and it takes you back to the contents. Clever stuff....thankyou. .104Views0likes2CommentsClean up desktop
Still strugling. As I explained before I would like to clean up my desktop=internal hard disk. I have uploaded all the important files/folders to Dropbox, so they are save and will sync when I change them. If I want to clean up my desktop I have to delete the files/folders which are stored there. This means, because the files/folders are still in use, I have to open them through Dropbox and change them there, right? Thanks in advance.Solved108Views0likes2CommentsQR codes needed for shared files
Hey there Sam, Any new word on this QR code discussion? I am needing to create physical notebooks for co-counsels and some exhibits are too big to print and put into a notebook/binder. QR codes seemed like the way to go. I know I can still do it using a different QR Generator, but it sure would be cool to do this directly with Dropbox. Is there some other tool I can use for this kind of situation that I don't know about yet? Thanks a million!170Views0likes5Comments
