Scan file lost completely?
Hi
On the Android app (version 266.2.2) I scanned a document but I received an error message while trying to upload it, both on data and on wi-fi. I assumed that I would be able to access the saved...
@Dropbox - After over almost a year, you still did not fix such a critical issue! I had the same problem as Bewlay - Using version 324.2.2 on Android.
As a file hosting company that says "A secure place for everything. Store, share and backup your data", if Dropbox does not save a temp/local copy on the device for a document that is created using dropbox - how reliable is the product?
I have used the scan functionality via dropbox frequently but did not realize that Dropbox doesn't save a temp copy locally on the phone (should an error occur during transfer). Turns out today the network was poor. Scanned 3 very important documents and pooooof - Dropbox simply deleted them due to bad network upload failure. What's more got a notification at least two hours later after I had scanned with a vague info "(Document Name) there was a problem" - that's it. On clicking the notification it did nothing. (did not even open the app).
Never going to use the scan functionality of dropbox now onwards because it appears quite unreliable afterall.
Why is there even a solved-tag on this issue?
Seriously? They marked this as resolved and didn't even fix this?
I don't know if you developers know this, but this "minor issue" causes permanent data loss.
It would be wiser of yall to just turn off scanning from the mobile app entirely if you can't even fix this.
