546 TopicsWhy have new Camera Upload files changed to the format "Photo abc"?
At some point over the last few months, Dropbox randomly stopped uploading my photos from my iPhone 13 (iOS17 and now 18). After lots of poor app behaviour, I eventually managed to re-enable it, having manually been uploading files for quite some time. As soon as I pointed it back at the right folder, it started uploading... but with the word "Photo" in front of the filename!! So thanks to this stupidity, I now have hundreds of duplicate photos, called things like "2024-09-18 19.38.54.jpg" and "Photo 18-09-24, 19 38 54.jpg". So not only has it completely renamed it, it's ruined all possibilities to sort by title. As a final slap in the face, it's processed the images to half their size and reduced the quality! So, Dropbox... how do I disable this ridiculous "feature" that some imbecile decided would be good to suddenly implement?161KViews0likes11CommentsWhy do I keep seeing a 'Waiting to upload' message when trying to upload files to Dropbox?

I have Dropbox installed on my computer, and when I plug in my phone I get the message, "No new images or videos were found on Ashley's iPhone" when in fact there are lots of new images and videos for Dropbox to add to my Camera Upload folder. All my settings are correct on my computer to take the files from my phone and add them to Dropbox, I have enough room in my Dropbox account, I can't seem to figure out why it just hasn't downloaded any new images since March. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, AshleySolved64KViews1like98CommentsBackground uploading not staying on
Is anyone have an issue where if you turn on Background Uploading, it will work for a little while after turning off the app, then you'll get the notification that uploading is paused and I'll need to launch the app to continue? When I do launch the app, uploading begins. I'll go and check the setting for Background Uploading and it will be set back to OFF. Both my iphone and ipad (with iOS 11.0.2) are having the exact same problem. I'm running the latest version of Dropbox (66.2.8) with iOS 11.0.2. I have also checked location permisions and they are set to always use. Dropbox also has access to background app refresh as well photos. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Solved52KViews2likes10Commentschanging the location of Camera upload folder

Hello, when i open any pdf link on smartphone (Android or iOS) it shows the "invalid format" error One of the various links: [removed] Opening it instead in a browser (both from PC and smartphone) works without problem. Why?42KViews0likes7CommentsUploading photos from phone
I basically got Dropbox in order to move my enormous collection of pictures and videos from my iPhone to somewhere else...The transfer went fine for a while, but then it has stopped and I keep seeing a message saying "waiting to upload". I have quit the application and relaunched, which does nothing. I have even upgraded Dropbox, as I suspect I will need the extra space... There is still over 400 pictures which are "waiting to upload" plus a few videos. And did I mention I started this process 13th of December...?Solved37KViews0likes37CommentsLinks in PDF don't work on iPhone, iPad
I have made a project to share informations using PDFs contained in my DropBox space, starting from a QGIS Cloud application. 1) In PCs: the links contained in these PDFs are working only if the PDF is effectively downloaded (I believe that in the PDF reader of DropBox, links don't work: correct?). 2) In iPhone/iPad there is no way to have those links working. Any suggestion? Thank youSolved29KViews0likes5Comments
