STILL can't get my Dropbox photos to show up in my Android gallery
I've read all the related forum posts dating back to 2012 with no avil. Problem: I use dropbox mostly for photoshop files and JPG photos. I have many folders and subfolders with pictures and files. Today I started uploading some of these pictures to instagram, so I first selected a folder and 'saved to device'. This did not show these pictures in my Android Gallery app where I need them to be despite saving them to folders with gallery pictures in them. So I selected individual pictures, used the same process and still they are not showing. I found a workaround online by selecting a single picture, clicking 'export to' then selecting instagram. While this did work, it only works for single pictures and I still can't see them in my gallery. I am now trying to upload multiple pictures to instagram in a single 'carousel' post, but I am unable to select 'export to' instagram with multiple selected. I need to find a way to get my pictures to show up in my Android gallery. I have already looked into the left 'Photos' tab of Dropbox and non of the pictures in my folders show up there, so I am unable to add them to a sub folder named 'Photos' (This was the best solution according to other online users) Any help avaliable for this?? Thanks
How Can I Make A Single Click Direct Download link for Android?
On windows I can make a direct download link by changing the end of the download link from dl=0 to dl=1. eg: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zhdlsdq6ha4wwg9/Test.txt?dl=0 Changed to https://www.dropbox.com/s/zhdlsdq6ha4wwg9/Test.txt?dl=1 Then if I send that link, and someone clicks on it, Windows will download it immediately even if they are not a dropbox user. Unfortunately that does no longer appear to work for Android users. When I send a link ending in dl=1 by Viber, Whatsapp or IMO etc the receipent only sees a series of options, and often doesn't know how to proceed. I have tried to explain that they need toClick 'continue to website', then click 'save a copy' without clicking on the prompts to join Dropbox. However, not everybody understands how to do this which means sending download links on Android is no longer as simple as it used to be. Is there a way to make direct download links I can send to Android devices that will work with only one click to download? Your advice would be appreciated. Kind regards Chris
