Hi! I go sailing on a long trip and use Bracknell maps to analyze the weather conditions at sea. Those gif files are stored (and updated) in my dropbox. As I do not have a printer on board - and we are digitally... off course, that's why we have dropbox! - I would love to find a quick way to make with my pencil annotations on the document (adding arrows, indicating a low pressure area... etc - free hand drawing), using my ipad. Till now I have even not found a feasible app to do this. A workaround is to download from dropbox to 'Photos' and then edit. But... then the edited file is on my ipad in the 'Photos' app and not in dropbox. My basic rule is to work always in files stored on Dropbox, not to make local copies. What are your experiences?2.2KViews1like11CommentsNo search field when moving or duplicating with iOS app
On the iOS app (on my iPhone), when choosing to move or duplicate a file or folder > choose a different folder… > there is no search box. Only the option to navigate my entire Dropbox from the root level. There used to be a search box, and it was super convenient. My app is up to date, and I deleted and downloaded again, same thing. So I’m assuming this feature was removed.Solved1.8KViews0likes5CommentsUnable to edit documents via Office apps on iPad
Previously I could edit documents saved in Dropbox using the various Microsoft Office apps on my iPad. This week I am now unable to edit or save documents unless I have a Microsoft 365 Subscription. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how did you rectify it? Thanks1.7KViews0likes6CommentsSimple Drag and Drop on iPad app to move files
Ok - I’m on the Dropbox Plus on Ipad. I collect a LOT of images that I’m continuously moving from one folder to another within Dropbox. Generally it’s great - I just Drag it to the appropriate folder and it moves over! Awesome! BUT … when I need to go back(even a single level) in the file tree - I have to go through the whole ‘move’ process … and navigate from scratch to find the folder it is in! * HOW DO I drag UP - so it goes to the previous folder?? * OR See the File Tree in Columns (like in the Files App - which unfortunately has a host of other limitations Alternatively - are there settings or add-ins that can: * have a list of favourite folders as a starting point that you can GO TO - as opposed to the automatic ‘recent folders’ list - which go to that exact folder (it just ‘chucks the file in’) Any ideas would be fantastic My current work-around: * Yes - the search feature when moving is a huge blessing, but I’m sorting hundreds of images into different categories * Sometimes I just save it back to Photos, and re-drag it to the correct spot on my next sorting round. * I’ve yet to try using Dropbox and Files apps in Split screen - I’ll try that next. but am I missing something blatantly obvious?1.6KViews0likes3CommentsThe position of a folder changes after renaming files in it
I have a folder with about 1000 files. When I add a bunch of files to it, I need to rename each one to a specific rename. Before the recent upgrade, after renaming a file, it would go to the renamed file or stay in the same folder location from where the file was before it was renamed. Nos after each rename, the position pops to the top of the folder alphabetically. This causes so much extra scrolling and takes a lot of extra time. Id say this is more like a bug report than a how to question. I already contacted support and they know nothing and then directed me here — which is also useless I suspect because the number of users makes it look like a needle in a haystack.957Views0likes8CommentsCan photos I delete from my phone automatically be deleted from Camera Uploads too?
My iPhone photo library is automatically backed up to my Dropbox (which is great) but I find myself having to frequently manually delete photos previously uploaded to Dropbox when I delete them from my iPhone. Is there an option where this can be done automatically? It's easy to accumulate thousands of photos that I no longer need backed up on Dropbox (such as screenshots) and manually deleting them can be very time consuming. Ideally there should be a rclone type synchronization feature added to the the Dropbox iPhone app. Thank you.718Views0likes3CommentsTags aren't searchable on a Mac Computer or iPhone
I have created multiple tags in the info section for a particular photo. Some of the tags are #Peter #friend and #wedding and while they show up when I am doing my initial search after hitting the All files tab under tags, they are not searchable inside of Dropbox. In other words, if I were to type in any of those tags, nothing shows up. Basically, the hashtags are useless, but they do show up under the tag section just not searchable. I have cleared cookies and cache previously.717Views0likes1Comment
