You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Viewing Backups from regular mobile phone app rather then browser.
In regards to having to open up a browser on my mobile phone to be able to view any files that are in the "Backups" section of dropbox.. This has made things very troublesome by not allowing everything to be read via the normal dropbox mobile app. I understand the principle of having the major "backups" be in a different segment of dropbox.. but it shouldnt be that hard to access all the files. Maybe inside the regular current Dropbox app, feature a button that allows you to actually open the files that are in this "backups" section? OR maybe create another "Dropbox Backups" app that will allow us to remotely view these backup files without having to go thru the hassle of opening up a browser on the phone and try and track things down? If I search for a file from within the dropbox app, that is located in the "backups" portion... it will show up, but wont allow you to view it. Just throws an error, with no mention of having to actually access it via a browser even. It wont even allow you to go into the file info to be able to see exactly where its located or if it IS located in the "backups" portion. Its just tedious and a pain. There has to be an easier way.
Access Dropbox Backup on Mobile?
New Dropbox customer here. I've signed up for Dropbox backup, and looking to use it to fully replace my Backblaze account. Is it possible yet (or planned) to access the Dropbox backup files from the mobile? Or should I just put everything into the Dropbox folder if I prefer that? Thanks
Beta Build 191.3.4950 all my Backup files moved to their original location.
The client just updated to this build on MacOS (Sonoma 14.3) and its moved all my folders out of the backup folder and into their original location. I disabled and re-enabled the backup but while it said it would move the files into the Dropbox backup folder, they remain in their normal location still.External backup doesn't show on Android App
Howdy! I just noticed that while I have access to my PC backup in the Dropbox app on my phone, the backup for my external drive is not shown or accessible in the app. It shows up fine online, and the PC app shows that the drive is completely backup up. I am using a Moto Edge 2021 with Android 13.Any thought on how to make the backup accessible as well?Cannot access my Download folder after uninstalling the Dropbox app
Hello, I've been trying to access my Download file on my PC for a few days now. However, I've been unable to access it since I uninstalled Dropbox, without realizing that my files were linked to it. I've reinstalled the application, but it won't restore the right files. Dropbox was directly linked to my computer and there was no way of recovering a year's worth of work. Every time I click on the "Download" folder, this pop-up appears. Do you have any solutions?
