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.
Can I change the order of the photos I've saved in a folder?
Hello all. Will try to keep this brief. *I have a 2024 Dropbox folder for photos. *I am taking photos on a camera (because I want to) then once a week, copy the photos into the dropbox folder. *I have the sort set up to 'date order'. *Quite often I want to change the order of the photos within the Dropbox folder and/or add a photo into the folder that someone has sent me on whatsapp, or that I have taken on my phone. *These phone photos just land in a heap at the end of my Dropbox folder and don't automatically go in to date order. *Also, Dropbox doesn't allow me to simply drag some photos into a different place. (I have tried changing dates on photos, but it just gets ignored). I'm sure there is a very simple solution to the above, which I look forward to as I'm not that computer literate. Hope the above makes sense; when I put this query into Google, it seems to just ignore my actual question.
Using AI to sort and search my photos
Hi, it's 2024 . IA is here. Please, scan all my photo and suggest something to sort them or help me find what I need. I have a Folder "Camera Uploads"with more than 30 000 photos from my phone. It is impossible to sort them or search them or even to navigate in the folder. Ex : I want to find the photo in a night market in china . It takes seconds within the Iphone. It is impossible on dropbox except if the photo is named "night market china" (spoiler : it isn't) . So Dropbox is good to save the pictures but barely usable to use/search for them . Please do something
I can't sort the Dropbox files on my Sonoma 14.4 by name, nor drag them into subfolders.
Hi Jay, maybe you can help me with a couple of issues.I just bought a new Macbook running sonoma 14.4. My dropbox on the desktop won't sort by name. It will sort by anything else.when I use LIST it sorts fine, but as columns it will not. i also cannot seem to drag files into a sub folder. It will go as far as a root folder but no further... maddening!!
Dropbox Vault offline access
Hello, Dropbox Vault sounds like a very nice new feature, and I was wondering how to access it while I'm not connected to the internet (i.e. offline). On my Mac, when I click on the Vault icon it always opens up the dropbox website, and doesn't seem to be letting me access it locally. Any way to access dropbox vault offline/locally?
New named Dropbox structure
I am a user of DropBox Business, on Windows 10. Last week, I suddenly realized that the shortcuts to some of my Dropbox folders were broken. A quick look learned me that the structure had changed. While I used to access my folder through: C:/User/{username}/Dropbox (COMPANY NAME)/, I can now find them at: C:/User/{username}/{COMPANY NAME} Dropbox/MyFirstName LASTNAME/ Now, both structures seem to remain while the first one is now a hidden shortcut (although I can't seem to see where it links to). So that I don't really know where my files actually are. Is this change documented anywhere? Thanks After a couple of days, I realized this happened to all of this Dropbox Business users across the company, Mac and Windows, and that it messes up with backup strategies. I didn't find anything about this new structure in DropBox's changelog.
