257 TopicsUsing 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 somethingSolved2.7KViews7likes10CommentsSorting folders by date created
Dear Dropbox developers, First of all, I really love how Dropbox is always innovating and always coming with new cool features, thanks for that! However, I am struggling with a problem for some time now. I have a lot of folders which I really need to sort on the date I created these folders, could you guys enable this function? I would appreciate it a lot! Thanks in advance. Cheers! Marijn766Views1like4CommentsSearching keyword terms on the website and getting no results
I am hoping to migrate to Dropbox from Canto, but one of the few important features I need is the ability to search by tags. I don't see any simple way of creating tags en masse with an import, but the files exported all have tags showing in the file keywords. I figured I could then just search for a keyword, so I went with "stand against" - a term I have on a few hundred files. The screenshot below is a file with that shown in the keywords. Here is me searching that term: There are no filters at all, just one term. I tried quotes around the term(s), and used several other keywords as well. I haven't been able to get any result searching for keywords listed in my file details. Are keywords not a searchable field? The Dropbox helpdoc titled "How to search your Dropbox files" at /view-edit/search says it is, but I'm not seeing that in reality. Is there something I'm doing wrong here? Is there perhaps another way to better tag photos on an import (from Canto)? I'm doing this on dropbox.com / via chrome and firefox on windows.52Views0likes3CommentsSelect/Select all feature in the Starred folder
I use dropbox mostly as a photographer these days. I like to sort pictures by starring the ones I want to keep. It would be very useful if I could select all starred pictures in the starred folder, instead of selecting each of them to save them.18Views0likes1CommentDropbox 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?7.9KViews5likes13Comments"Couldn't extract files. Can only handle files up to 512 MB."
I have 2TB of available storage on my Dropbox account, but am unable to open a ZIP file (approx. 3.2GB) -- instead, I'm getting an error message that says "Couldn't extract files. Can only handle files up to 512 MB." Any thoughts on how best to resolve this? Thanks.Solved9KViews4likes19CommentsCan 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.316Views0likes2CommentsI 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!!234Views0likes1Comment
