Can You Download Photos From Dropbox Fixed
Jacalyn Loston
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 can see there was discussion that this was a system wide problem that has evidently been fixed. It has not been fixed for me. I can't reply on the dropbox solution, and nothing allows me to scroll from picture to picture. I literally have to look at a picture then hit the return arrow to go back to my entire folder of photos, select another picture, look at it, and then go back again to the main folder to get yet another photo. I pay for premium dropbox and am seriously considering finding a different way to store my photos - this is crazy. Having to download the photos onto my computer so I can scroll from photo to photo completely negates the reason I signed up for Dropbox!
Going from pic to pic in slide show view works fine, but I can't scroll down a folder page of image thumbnails to find a photo. I can only see the first 15 thumbs. I'm using Firefox on a windows machine, all in good working order
Hi! Basically, it's exactly what the title says. It's got nothing to do with the date I uploaded the pictures, but the file names themselves. For example, I've been scanning, cataloguing and organising my mum's old wedding photos (actual photos on paper from 30 years ago) and before I uploaded them, when I saved the scanned files, I gave them chronological order names with the event, date (year-month-day) and then appendix numbers. E.g Mum's wedding 1991-05-26 0001, 0002, etc. But they won't stay in chronological order in the Dropbox folder they're in. I have them in chronological order up to #40. Then it jumps to #100-160 (in chronological order) then goes back to 41, 42 etc (again in chronological order).
@Daphne I'm on the website; haven't tried it with a mobile app yet but I presume it would be the same. If I'm searching by filename for my photos, it will only let me group by relevance and last modified but if I go to the folder where those photos are stored it seems to be fine. So it's only on the one specific folder where this is causing me an issue; half in chronological order, then skips maybe 20 photos (all in chronological order) then back in chronological order. I think the photos below explain what I mean better. That's with the folder set to filter by name. If I filter by type (image) or extension (TIFF) they go out of order (which is obviously expected). I find it odd as it's seemingly just the one folder.
I am new to Dropbox and have a similar problem. I use a MacBook Pro 2020, macOS Big Sur. I have over 26,000 photographs in Dropbox and want to put them in chronological order, from oldest to most recent, by date taken. By date taken I mean the date the photos were ACTUALLY TAKEN, not when they were modified. I've tried when using the App and also accessing via the website,with no success. How, exactly, do I do this?
Recently, I've run into a problem where photos stored in Dropbox are not appearing in the Photos app included with Windows 10. At first, I thought this was a bug with the Photos app itself and sought support through Microsoft about it. However, when checking my Crashplan backup, I noticed that it wasn't recognizing any of the photos saved on my Dropbox either.
Both Crashplan and the Windows 10 Photos app have no problem finding pictures located anywhere else on my computer, even in Google Drive, but something about Dropbox is blocking them from seeing any photos. What exactly is going on?
ETA: I feel like I should clarify that the photos are visible in Windows Explorer, Dropbox, and Carousel without any problem at all. I've also included the photos's folders in the Windows Photos app. The photos exist, but simply aren't accessible by Crashplan or the Photos app.
Both folders have the same security settings for me, and yet the dropbox pictures folder cannot be seen in Windows Photos. I can specifically add it, and it will show, but at the next reboot (or later) they will just have disappeared again. After a reboot I actually saw them all disappearing...
Dropbox makes it easy to upload and download files, wherever you are. To upload a file, log in at dropbox.com, select the 'Upload' button, and choose the file or folder you want to upload. Or if you want to save some time, just drag and drop.
Dropbox is indispensable for many businesses for its cloud-based file storage and file and folder sharing. But many organizations need better alternatives for sharing visual media files like photos, pictures, graphics and videos. They need to find an alternative to Dropbox for photo & video sharing.
I am trying to download an image from dropbox to my desktop using Python. The script below runs to completion without issues and creates a JPEG file on the desktop (about 200+ KB in size). But when I try to open it, I get a file damaged / Preview cannot read file error message:
In this article, we will explore three methods to help you move photos from Dropbox to the Android Gallery effortlessly. Whether you prefer a manual approach or utilizing specialized apps, we have you covered.
Before we delve into the methods, let's briefly understand what Dropbox and Android Gallery are. Dropbox is a popular cloud storage service that allows users to store and access files from various devices.
There are several methods to move photos from Dropbox to the gallery. You can manually download the photos from Dropbox to your computer and then transfer them to your Android device. Alternatively, you can use the Dropbox mobile app on your Android device to sync and access the photos directly in the gallery.
When you download files from Dropbox on your Android device, they are usually saved in the default download location set on your device. This location can vary depending on your device's settings, but commonly, the downloaded files can be found in the "Downloads" folder.
Dropbox itself does not consume storage on your phone unless you choose to download files for offline access. When you download files from Dropbox to your phone, they are stored in your device's storage and will occupy space accordingly.
To transfer files from Dropbox to Google Drive on Android, you can download the files from Dropbox to your Android device and then upload them to Google Drive using the Google Drive app. Alternatively, you can use third-party apps or services that offer seamless transfers between Dropbox and Google Drive.
There could be several reasons to move from Dropbox to Google Drive. Google Drive offers more free storage space, integration with other Google services, collaborative features, and seamless synchronization with Android devices. Additionally, if you already use other Google services or prefer Google's ecosystem, transferring your files to Google Drive can provide a more streamlined experience.
As we all know, iCloud Photos is part of Apple iCloud storage, which may be the most convenient photo storage for users of Apple products. Because iCloud Photos can be used seamlessly with the photo application to safely store photos and videos in iCloud and can be used on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, Apple TV, and iCloud.com. With it, you can browse, search and share all photos and videos from any device. You can also log in to your account on different devices to complete iPhone data transfer.
However, though iCloud Photos is a good choice for photo sync and storage, there are many other cloud storages available that can not only sync and store photos or videos but also do more. Dropbox is one of the most popular cloud storage for both Windows and Mac users, which can sync not only music and video files but also Microsoft Word documents. Besides that, Dropbox is outstanding in file-sharing.
Dropbox is a brilliant cloud drive that helpsyou upload brilliant photos easily. However, the emergence of Amazon Photos hasprovided users with a better option to not only upload photos but also sync thephotos.
