33 TopicsIs there a way to run the Dropbox app in the background on my iPhone?
Hey everyone, I just switched to an Android from an iPhone. I am facing a feature problem that I loved on my iPhone! Which is, if I open up an audio file from my dropbox app I can just do other stuff on my phone. On android however, it stops playing whenever I switch over to a different app. Is there a way to let it run in the background just like the iPhone? Thanks!3.2KViews1like9CommentsFull screen view navigation on the Meta Quest is no longer working
Hi, The full screen view function of Dropbox on Meta Quest is quite convenient, but there seems to be one drawback: I can't go back and forth between files in the full screen mode. I used to be able to do so in the past by sweeping the blackened area to the right or left, but this functionality seems to be not working anymore. So when I want to view the next or previous file, I first have to quit the full screen mode, go back to the preview mode, choose the next or previous file, and then go back to the full screen mode again, which is a bit frustrating. Am I missing something?653Views0likes3CommentsAutomatically Open Excel Doc in MS Excel in Dropbox
I have uploaded an Excel file that I will only update in Dropbox using MS Office Online. When I open the file I am forced to choose the app Excel from a dropdown menu. Is there a way to tell Dropbox that when I double click on the file to do so directly in MS Excel? Thanks in advanceSolved2KViews0likes4CommentsIs there a way to change the framing color of images on the website?
My question: Is there a way to change the framing color in web view to something neutral like white or grey? The backstory: I always view Dropbox on my iOS app but I had a client complain about artifacting on images delivered (another issue for another thread) so I went to the website to see what they might be seeing. I noticed that all of the images were "framed" with a warm beige-ish color instead of a neutral. This happened in both thumbnail views as well as individual image view. The client also complained that the images weren't warm enough. I am concerned that the warm color framing the photos changes their perception of how warm they are. I edit all my images with a neutral framing color (whether that is white, black or grey) so it is as versatile and accurate as possible.433Views0likes2CommentsFile details not viewable in Windows 11 File Explorer
I have Dropbox version 152.4.4880 installed on a Windows 11 (21H2 Build 21000.739) desktop. I have "Dropbox system extension" ("store files as online-only to save hard drive space") enabled on that PC . When I go into the Dropbox folder via File explorer and examine a folder customized for music I see zero details in the columns (Title, Artist, Album, etc.). A separate media management app running in Win 11 confirms the metadata is present in the tags with all my music. Also my Win 10 laptop with Dropbox correctly shows all the details in Win 10 File Explorer. Back in Win 11, if I right click any file's properties and select details it shows only "Details are unavailable for the selected file" in place of the details properties pane for files still in the cloud. For files I have opened, to force a download, it shows the details properties pane, but no entry values. Similar behavior is occurring with other files types such as .jpeg Suggestions, anyone? Thanks!4KViews0likes10CommentsMobile app crashing on Android, when previewing certain Word docs
Hi. I have a Samsung S22 Ultra (One UI 5.1). Within the past few months, Dropbox (352.2.2) keeps crashing when I open certain word docs. These are files that have been in use for years without issue previously (always on Basic). I've tried making it available offline vs online only, and it doesn't matter. Error reads: "Something went wrong with Dropbox, etc." After enough tries, it tells me to clear the cache, which I do, still crashes. Tried uninstalling, then reinstalling, same issue. Eventually, the phone tells me that it's crashing too much and Dropbox is causing a battery problem, so maybe put it in a deep sleep, which I don't do. I can open a small word doc (22 kb) in the same folder, but not a slightly larger one (56 kb). I can open all of them if exported to Microsoft Word. I can also open them on my Macbook, so the files are not corrupted.1.7KViews0likes9CommentsSeptember 2023 iPad app update removed ability to hide the preview pane
If it's still there, they've hidden it really well. If the preview pane cannot be removed or hidden, then the app is almost useless as you cannot browse longer file names without tapping on each one. That's ridiculous. Seeing thirty of the same file name, and having to click on each one to find the one you're looking for makes the app almost unusable.Solved1KViews0likes6CommentsDropbox Capture not working since I updated to MacOS Sonoma
Good morning, everyone. Since I updated from MacOS Ventura 13.6 to MacOS Sonoma 14, Dropbox Capture has stopped working. Specifically, the app allows me to record the video, and I can see it in the rendering queue on the app. However, when I try to open it via a Dropbox link, it doesn't display. It remains in a perpetual loading state. I suppose this issue is somehow linked to what has been afflicting Dropbox for MacOS Sonoma for the past ten days, where the indexing of new files is completely stuck. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I'm effectively stuck and can no longer send my clips to clients. This is having a really negative impact on my workflow and my relationship with my clients. Thank you.1.3KViews0likes3Comments
