Ah, OK I think Dropbox must have changed this recently to require a paid account. I am planning to overhaul the Dropbox action and make it work directly with the API rather than the current method. But this is probably a while away, so unfortunately there's no way around this for now.

Re: No pop-up while dragging request (17 replies, posted in Feature Requests)
It's been added because Apple has made it so dragging to the top of the screen now activates mission control in El Capitan, and as this was the normal method for opening the Dropzone grid this caused problems. Also people often forgot they could drag to the top of the screen, so seeing Dropzones window up there reminds you 'hey you can drag this item here'
But you can disable this feature by opening a Terminal and copy pasting the following command:
defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.aptonic.Dropzone3.plist ScreenTopDragEnabled -bool false
And to re-enable:
defaults write ~/Library/Preferences/com.aptonic.Dropzone3.plist ScreenTopDragEnabled -bool true
If you disable it then you can still drag onto the Dropzone menu item.

Re: Is it possible to lock file in Dropzone? (2 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
I've added this ability in Dropzone 3.5.5. You can now right click on items in Drop Bar and click 'Lock Items' - a padlock will then be overlaid to show you the items are locked and the reference to the files will remain in Drop Bar until you remove them or unlock them and drag them out.
Here's a screenshot:
You can update to Dropzone 3.5.5 by clicking 'Check Now' in the updates in the Preferences or by downloading it from https://aptonic.com/dropzone3/latest

Re: Dropbox upload not working (6 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Did you follow the steps here to get your Dropbox UserID - https://aptonic.com/dropzone/destinatio … ropbox.php
You need to enable Dropbox Public folder by going here: https://www.dropbox.com/enable_public_folder
Then you have to get the right User ID by right clicking a file in the newly created Dropbox public folder and doing 'Copy Public Link'
You can then copy the right User ID out the URL and paste this into UserID field in Dropzone.

Re: BitLy wouldn't work (14 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Yep, OK there was a bug in the Bit.ly action under Mavericks. I have updated the action to fix this now. But also you'll need to use the non-Mac App Store version. Delete your current version of Dropzone and re-download it from https://aptonic.com/dropzone3/latest and then re-install the Bit.ly action by going to https://aptonic.com/actions/install.php … name=Bitly
Then verify you are running 1.3 of the Bit.ly action by right clicking on the action in your grid and then check the version field reads 1.3.
Then try dropping a URL on it again. It should work after switching to the non-Mac App Store version of Dropzone and updating the action version to 1.3.

It should work under Mavericks. What output do you get in the debug console?

Re: BitLy wouldn't work (14 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
No it's not worth it, Dropzone won't know to use that version.

Re: BitLy wouldn't work (14 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Sorry you're out of luck. That action requires a ruby setup that just isn't supported under 10.8.

Re: Is it possible to lock file in Dropzone? (2 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
No but this feature is urgently needed and will be in an upcoming update.

Re: BitLy wouldn't work (14 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Ah, I see the problem - Sorry but OS X 10.8 is no longer supported by Dropzone. I know on our website it says 10.8+ but this is inaccurate. I will update this shortly. You need 10.9 (Mavericks) or later.

Re: BitLy wouldn't work (14 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Strange. Possibly something odd about your Ruby version. Did you overwrite the default system Ruby or anything like that? What do you get if you run:
ruby -v
In a terminal?
Also can you please try downloading the non-Mac App Store version from:
https://aptonic.com/dropzone3/latest
And see if you still have the problem.

Re: Add clipboard contents to the Drop Bar (2 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
This is a feature I've wanted to add for a long time - the ability to take a screenshot and then have it auto uploaded using a specified action. I will definitely try and add this at some point.
Also you're right there isn't a way to add to Drop Bar using the API currently. This has been requested many times and is now a priority item. Unfortunately there are a literal ton of other fixes I need to get out first but your feedback has been noted

Re: Ruby Errors with dropbox (3 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
Yeah that was an issue with an old version of the Dropbox action. It was fixed in an update. It's best to go into the 'User Actions' tab and do a 'Check for Updates' from time to time to make sure you have the newest version of the actions.

Re: Constantly being asked for Serial Number (3 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
There was an issue with the Mac App Store certificates recently that caused people who had transitioned from the Mac App Store version to the non-Mac App Store to have the trial alert screen show. Rebooting will resolve this.
This was not related to the issue mentioned by musicscramble at the top of this thread which was caused by a different (now resolved) issue.

Re: ABsolute noob with no idea... (1 replies, posted in Dropzone Support)
That webpage you found is not related to Dropzone at all. That's a different project that just happens to have the same name. You don't need to know how to code to use Dropzone.
Dropzone is a Mac app so your band members would need to be using a Mac to use Dropzone. You can download Dropzone from our website at https://aptonic.com
You are correct about Dropzone being a sort of FTP for dummies though. You can indeed use Dropzone to drop a file onto it and have it upload to a predetermined folder.
Once you have it downloaded and running, you need to add an 'FTP Upload' action. You can do this by clicking the Dropzone menu item and clicking the white plus then choosing 'FTP Upload' from the list - from there you need to put in the settings for your FTP server which you'd need to get from your web host. Once the action is setup you can then drag items to the top of the screen to open the Dropzone grid and then you drop them on the FTP action you've setup.
I've added screenshots below to clarify the steps to set this up. Hope that helps!

Can you try installing the one linked below instead:

That one installs fine for me. If that one fails to install for you, please make sure you're using the non-Mac App Store version available from https://aptonic.com/dropzone3/latest

Re: Zamzar Conversion (2 replies, posted in Feature Requests)
Hmmm. I have to admit that looks very interesting indeed. Thanks for showing me that. Of course being a paid service I suppose users would need their own Zamzar accounts which I guess is the only downside.
But I will have a play around with their API and see if an action could be easily made for Dropzone.
