Download From Dropbox To Iphone
Josefina Polly
If I delete photos from my iPhone that I have uploaded to Dropbox, will they still be available in Dropbox. I have read several threads, some of them say they will, some of them say that If I delete photos (from any device) they will be deleted from Dropbox (or any other cloud based programme). I want to be able to auto upload photos, then delete them from my phone, then when I have time I can organise them into folders/delete any I really don't want to keep when I log into dropbox on my laptop. Hope that makes sense! Thanks in anticipation.
In the Dropbox app, if you enable Camera Uploads, that sends photos that you take to both your iPhone Photos and to Dropbox. These are then two separate locations that are not linked -- you can delete a photo from your iPhone's Photos app (not the Dropbox app) and the photos will remain in Dropbox. You can delete a photo from Dropbox and the photo would remain in your iPhone's Photos app. These are separate and unlinked storage locations.
I think what you were hearing is that if you delete from Dropbox on one device, that deletes the item on all other devices linked to your Dropbox -- that is true. But you'd be deleting from your Photos app, not Dropbox.
Thanks for this, so if I select the photos to upload, then upload them to a folder I set up in DB using the method you describe (rather than using their App), then it won't matter if I delete them from my photos folder on my phone or mac, as they should be stored in DB permanently? I have a ton of storage on DB still unused so it would make sense to put them into DB.
I've also deleted the 1Password apps from my idevices (you would think THIS would fix it, but it's not syncing to any other Dropbox location as I have verified it but I have no idea how it's getting the same info) and rebooted the idevices. I even moved the 1Password vault on Dropbox, but I'm unable to tell my iPhone (at least) where the new folder is (it keeps going to dropbox/1Password/1Password.opvault and I renamed the 1Password folder and made a new one under the Apps folder of Dropbox), but it keeps pulling the out of date info from somewhere.
I followed those instructions, but still my iPhone & iPad are not syncing with Dropbox that was created on my Mac. I did do the Reset Your Dropbox Data. I deleted the 1Password file completely from Dropbox. Deleted the app from my iPhone & iPad. Restarted all 3 devices. Set up sync with Mac. Downloaded the app again to my iPhone and iPad and synced them to Dropbox. They seemed to pull some cached file from god knows where.
@ag_ana I was wondering that too. I even went in my my iCloud settings - Manage Storage and deleted anything with 1Password (there are 2 items - one was about 30MB and the other was about 7.6MB). Both deleted. I deleted the iOS apps again. Rebooted the devices. Downloaded the app again and set them up. And somehow it's still pulling info from some mysterious place.
I move to my iPhone and delete the data and the app. When I go into a newly downloaded app and go to set up the sync, it only sees the OLD vault name, 1Password/1Password.opvault and syncs that OLD data (and I'm not sure from where since that file IS deleted after I unsynced my old vault on my Mac). There is no was for me to change the name or search for it on iOS and it only sees/lists the old vault, not the new one with a NEW name.

I was saving my KeepassXC database on Dropbox. I updated a password with KeepassXC on my computer, but the entry wouldn't update in Strongbox on my iPhone. It updated only after I copied the database from Dropbox to iCloud with my laptop, then re-opened it from Strongbox on my iPhone.
I use keepass on my laptop. I downloaded mini keepass on my iphone. First i believe you have to upload the keepass file from the laptop to either dropbox or google drive right? What other programs can you use to upload keepass on it? Would icloud be okay or not?
So i downloaded dropbox on iphone and signed in on iphone. I then see my keepass database file on recents where it shows file name and dropbox right under it. How do i then add this file? When i click on the file, it says this file can't be viewed no preview available.
Once you have the database open the important bit is to sync updates, which you can't do with MiniKeePass, only with KeePass.
If you update an entry on the iphone you need to ensure the updated database is synced with Dropbox, then download the database to a separate location on your PC and tell KeePass to sync with the file in the temporary location.
If you update an entry on the PC you need to sync with the temporary file and then use Dropbox to update the file on the iphone.
All downloaded files with infuse Through the dropbox API have the same effect as in the screenshot and play the same way everywhere. If you upload directly on the site or through the dropbox app, the file is fine. We conclude that there is some problem with infuse working with dropbox.
Locate the tool bar on the bottom of the app screen. Inside the tool bar, there are four icons to choose from that perform different functions:
A) the first one from the left is a shortcut to your dropbox folder
B) the next is a shortcut to the photo-uploading service
C) the third takes you to your designated favorite (starred) files
D) the final icon on the right is a portal to the dropbox settings.
Use them to navigate between different sections of the app.
If at any time you want to un-link your iPhone from your Dropbox account, simply follow these steps:
1) Tap the settings icon in the tool bar.
2) At the bottom of the settings screen, tap the red banner stating "Unlink iPhone from Dropbox".
(Note: by doing this your Dropbox folder will become inaccessible to you through your iPhone. Only conduct this step if you wish to remove the Dropbox app's link to your account or if you wish to link a different Dropbox account to your iPhone Dropbox app).
On my iPad, the notes from the time of installation (August 27) synced. However, my notebooks were not added (but tags were). Also, anything created on my iMac after August 27 have not synced. Similarly, a test note and notebook created on my iPad have not synced to my iMac.
Documents serves as a central hub for all your cloud services and local files. It's the easiest way to use Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, and WebDAV on iPhone and iPad to access all your files from one app. You can either work directly in the cloud storage or download the files you need to use offline.
Dropbox is helpful because it allows you to access all your stored files from any device, as long as you're logged into your account. And with the Dropbox app on your iPhone, accessing and sharing those files is easier than ever.
Has anyone tried using dropbox to share a database from a imac to an ipad?
I have created a dropbox account purely to do this and I can see that dropbox has a copy of the database but it will not apparently let me open it as I seem to need my ipad roots app to see a database which I cannot link. I am not needing to pay for Dropbox for the size of the file in question.Nor do I need Dropbox for anything else. Seems a poor app to me but?? Can I connect my mac to my ipad pro by cable and would that work? Sorry to be so stupid.
RM is a computer program and does not run on iOS.
the RM ios app is 7 years out of date and not updated and read only via dropbox.
Just upload your tree to ancestry and use the excellent free ancestry ios app to see and edit your tree on your ipad. Ignore dropbox.
Jerry; apple mobile devices use a separate operating system different from apple computers. Apps can be designed to use files transferred directly from mac to pad or shared through iCloud. Older cruder apps used a klutzy approach like dropbox.
Uploading from RM to Ancestry can entail considerable data loss or very little data loss. Downloading from Ancestry to RM can entail considerable data loss or very little data loss. The data model used by Ancestry is very different that the data model used by RM. The difference in the data model is the chief cause of any data loss, not software bugs per se.
If all you want to do is to see your RM data on your iPad, uploading from RM to Ancestry and using the Ancestry IOS app on the iPad is probably sufficient for your needs. But if you want to update your Ancestry data via the Ancestry app on the iPad and then copy the data back down to RM via TreeShare, you would need to consider the data incompatibilities that will be involved.
Thanks for the thoughts. As other reply I will study it all again. However just a word of caution about family trees. My most serious and respected Family History friends would council great caution about use of any sites for uploading FT data for reasons of security but also due to uncorrected data errors. Much on line is rubbish, sadly, as one person puts in errors and another copies it into their FT etc etc.I have seen FTs with people baptised before they were conceived, dead before born etc. Ok review but always confirm from the actual and real data sources. Getting before 1700 and proving it seems impossible for my lot yet people using the same records as me claim ancestors in 1500s. I suppose we all came from a couple of folk but. Enjoy the season.
