Mobile Dropbox app: handwriting/annotations (with pencil) for pdf, photos and drawing files
Do you want to use less paper and organise your handwritten annotations on digital files? In daily business, I need to review documents (pdf): highlighting, adding quick handwritten notes or adding symbols is very usefull. As a sailer, I make notes on weather charts(gif, png or jpeg), plot tidal calculations on a tidal template for a harbour (pdf). Or I need to draw secondary port calculations in a standard pdf template. As a musician, I make notes on a digital music sheet. There should be an option in the Dropbox app to add these annotations to the original document or to create a copy including the annotations (in the file name it adds your initials and a date). I know there is a feature to add signatures, but this proposal takes the next step! I think this would we a very useful add on for the mobile (tablet) Dropbox app. Thanks for sharing, commenting and voting 🙂 (just click vote after reading this) Bass&Art Bart

Easier editing of PDFs on mobile
It would be really useful if a couple of things were added to the editing of PDFs when using a mobile device. - For one, a simple way to add something like a tick or a cross would be really useful. - The ability to copy and paste any edits. - The ability to draw, like you can when editing on desktop.

The ability to add tags in the mobile app.
When can we have the ability to add tags on the mobile app? It's very difficult to always have to go to the desktop and use the website to add photo tags.

Folder automation video conversion settings for proxy media
Hi, I would like to have adjustable video encoding settings within folder automation settings. For example, I would like to have the option to be able to convert a large 4K MP4 file with a 50kbps bitrate and large file size into a more manageable proxy file at 720p with a lower bitrate of 5kbps, or any combination of resolutions and bitrates.

Edit text file in browser
Hi, it would be *really* useful to be able to edit .txt (text) files in browser. There are several threads asking for this, and it's possible in the Dropbox apps on mobile. Please support light weight text editing in browser. I can sign, save, download, upload, etc. I just want to change one word in a file without doing that. Please help! I am often on a work computer and want to edit my files in dropbox, but only option is web interface, and that doesn't have an edit feature. Other similar posts that have unfortunately been closed:https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Dropbox-ideas/Edit-text-file-in-browser-window/idi-p/19795

Allow editing of Dropbox Capture transcription (and thus closed captions)
I am trying out Dropbox Capture. Unlike Loom, there appears to be no capacity to edit transcripts and associated closed captions. Surely I am mistaken! The ability to edit a transcript (with flow-on effects to closed captions) is integral to reliable video production. Please remedy. I won't be using DB Capture until that is done.

Prevent members from Moving any folders within team folders.
I've seen a topic like the one I'm writing now suggesting to prevent team members from moving any selected folders. I came here just to emphasis how this feature (Member roles Or Folder restrictions) is VERY important in business and I can tell in short words what happed to the business yesterday when one of the member mistakenly moved one of the HOT working projects to another destination. The project literally paralyzed for around 3 hours after noticing the MOVING action and trying to fix it and not to mention what happened to the team when suddenly they couldn't save their work(Media footage editing) the moment the files disappeared and also the whole team was setting waiting for the synchronization process to finish (first the mistaken moving and next moving back the moved folder to its original path). Wish we can have a specific restriction on selected folders and giving the permission to move to selected member by the admin. Here is a recap for my suggestion suggestion: FOLDER SETTINGS ---------- VIEWING , EDITING, MOVING ON ON OFF USERS PERMESSIONS DELETING, MOVING OFF OFF

Merge Multiple PDF Files Together.
Now that Dropbox has advanced editing features for PDFs. It would be super helpful to Select Multiple PDFs and merge them together. This will save time, and improve efficiency throughout my work day.

Automatically lock files when opening from Desktop app
Re-postingbarrondunn'sprevious idea after it was locked. It makes sense for a multiple user system to have the option to automatically lock a file when they open it, and it automatically unlocks once they save and close. The locking feature as is is fine, but people will never remember to unlock the file when they're done, especially if you're in and out of many files throughout the day. A lesser but viable alternative would be to have the Dropbox badge for all file types, not just Office.
