Awesome plugin easy to use! Running into an issue at the moment, Im using this with Woocommerce to add an upload box on a product. It seems any file larger than 250mb fails. I have Max upload in the shortcode builder set to 500mb, and server PHP upload limit is 2GB. Anything I am missing?

Thank you for your question! Unfortunately, Dropbox only supports direct uploads of files smaller than 250MB to their cloud. Larger files have to go through your web server and are subject to your server’s upload limits. So if these files are causing problems, we probably need to check what is happening on the server itself. Feel free to open a support ticket using the link below so we can have a closer look!

Probably one of my favorite plugins to work with. Adds fantastic functionality to a website that is super easy to use and looks beautiful, so its an easy sell to my clients that need this functionality. Just a note if you use Bullet Proof Security (BPS), the authentication to dropbox may revert after a few minutes, double check the quarantine files and restore the plugins cache files that get caught in the quarantine, then reauthenticate if needed.

Is it just me? Since the update to 2.4 you can not select the videos within the Gutenberg editor short code builder as long as you view them in the list mode. When you swith to thubnail view it’s working.

It’s not just you, I can reproduce this problem! Thanks for letting me know. If you submit a support ticket using the link below, I can send you the updated plugin version right away!

Ive left a few emails with issues for the past 2 weeks and have not gotten any reply since I extended my support for the plugin, is this normal or whats going on?

Hey Floris,

I hope you’re doing well. Could you confirm if you’ve received our email since it’s been near another week and we haven’t heard anything back yet.

Even though our email was whitelisted, could you confirm if you still didn’t get the email or something else happened ..? Should we contact you using a different email?

We are currently working with a programmer and are waiting for you to confirm a few things before we can go ahead so please get back to us when you can if possible.

Best wishes

Hello Floris,

This is to notify you that the issue was not resolved and we have sent you more info via email in case our replies didn’t get through again .. We are in the process of updating our website and so this is somewhat of a pressing matter to us.

Thank you.

I have received your updates and I will follow up via your ticket.

Hello,

Is it possible with your plugin to create a gallery that filters images by tag? With DropBox? or with another service?

Thanks

Box (API) does support tags properly and you can indeed search by tags. So although that plugin doesn’t have a filter for tags, you can e.g. add some buttons for your tags and let the module search for those tags when you click on them. I can provide you with a code example if needed.

First, this plugin rocks! I am wondering if there is a way to turn off the file’s date when it displays the documents in a folder? My client just wants the document name, no date.

Definitely, just check the ‘Layout’ tab in the module configuration for your module. You can disable the date via the ‘Show last modified date’ setting.

How to fix the error of curl not supported tls 1.2 +. my website using tls 1.2 and curl 7.67.0 what is this?? nothing works

Thanks for your question!

The plugin indeed checks if the cURL library can set up a TLS 1.2+ connection by simply checking the availability of the PHP constant CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_2 (which became available in version 7.34.0 of the cURL library).

If your server can use TLS1.2+ connections but for some reason the constant isn’t defined in your PHP package, please add the following code to your wp-config.php file:

if (!defined('CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_2')) {
    define('CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_2', 6);
}

Does that already fix the issue for you? If not, could you perhaps create a support ticket via the link below so I can have a closer look at it?

Really? The Plugin stopped working when the license support period ends? I can’t use it any longer and it’s not working any longer!

Thanks for coming back that fast. But meanwhile I have figured out the problem. Your plugin is not compatible with the Redis Object Cache (Redis Plugin). After deactivating the Redis Plugin everything went back to work. But now I am missing the Object Cache for this site, any ida ;)

I am using the Redis Object Cache plugin on my demo site as well which runs without problems. Are you referring to the same plugin? Flushing the cache doesn’t resolve the problem for you? If that is the case, I will gladly investigate this for you.

Floris, thx. Now it’s also running on my site. I guess it was a problem with the sites own or with the redis chache. I will have an eye on it.

Hello! I have a pre-sale question. If I have pdf files in dropbox and I have these files available to download from different sites (buttons, links…) on the web, if I replace the original file with a new version of it (file with the same name and in the same site), is that new version of the file downloaded on the web? In summary, I need to know if when modifying the original file or replacing it with another version, the web user downloads that version or the link is broken. Thank you!

Thanks for your question!

If you use the Out-of-the-Box modules (e.g. the File Browser module) to display your files on Dropbox on your site, it will always display the latest version of your files.

If you add a download link to a file on Dropbox, that link will point to this specific file. If you overwrite that file with a new version, the link will just point to that new version. However, if you delete the file on Dropbox and place a new file with the same name, the link will not longer work.

I hope this answers your question!

Thanks very much!!

Just wondering, with the video player I am not able to select sever videos from one folder anymore. I can select one video or the whole folder, but I can not select for e.g. 3 videos out of the folder anymore. As far as I remember, this was possible before, wasn’t it?

Thanks for your question! That actually isn’t possible in the Out-of-the-Box as you currently only select a single video or a complete folder indeed.It is on the to-do list to allows the selection of multiple items as well, so hopefully this will be added in a future version!

Hi there,

Can you please tell me how do you activate it for WOOCOMMERCE ?? And how to activate it for products or for cart ??

Also, is it possible to not show all the folders in dropbox, and only lock the plugin to a certain folder ?? This way to stop anyone see what is on the Dropbox account ??

It is urgent.

Thanks

Thanks for your question. Instructions how to use the WooCommerce download integration for the Out-of-the-Box plugin can be found in the online documentation and this video: https://vimeo.com/645168817.

The download integration is set per WooCommerce Product, so it isn’t possible to do this in bulk for all your products.

The Out-of-the-Box modules (e.g. the File Browser module) can be set to a specific folder on your Dropbox. So you can indeed only give access to a specific folder on your Dropbox to your users. Please note that this is a different functionality than the WooCommerce download integration.

Hello again, if it is impossible to do it in bulk, sorry to say but this plugin is usefull for me. I won’t use it on my website because it is impossible. I am looking for a plugin that automatically will upload the file the user uploads and adds it to WooCommerce order, and from there to upload it to drobox, but all this in bulk automatically.

Can I cancel the order and have a refund as I won’t use this plugin. It’s not for my project.

Thanks

The plugin also offers the WooCommerce upload integration (where a customer add files to their order). See the documentation and https://vimeo.com/645168886. Files will directly be uploaded to an upload location on Dropbox as you configure in your WooCommerce Product. So the files will not be stored on your server.

You can request a refund as explained in the Envato FAQ: https://help.market.envato.com/hc/en-us/articles/202821460-Can-I-Get-A-Refund- . Please keep in mind that only requests that are in accordance with the Envato Market Refund Rules are eligible for a refund.

So i’m trying to load my dropbox folder through the embed method and i’m getting error in console that “The loading of “https://www.dropbox.com/sh/um3ej1h3ldq6rch/AAB-d2eldVp0cjyXKzOGGQ6na” in a frame is denied by “X-Frame-Options“ directive set to “DENY“.”

I need solution for this urgently.

I have submitted the ticket today on 1st nov. i need that fixup as soon as.

I have just received your support ticket and I will get back to you via that channel!

Yes i saw your reply and now that issue is fixed. I can see my gallery in website pages now. thanks.

Just a short question: I can see the actual Version of the plugin is 1.21.8.1, but in the WP Backend I can see it’s Ver. 1.21.8 – even I have download and installed the latest version here from CodeCanyon?

Thanks for reporting that, I will make sure that the version number is updated in the next release.

The version you download here via CodeCanyon is indeed the latest one available. There was a very minor fix that was added later on, without updating the version number in the plugin itself. My bad!

No prbl. I was just wondering ;)

Is it possible to set a condition before viewing the files that a user must submit their email address before accessing the photo gallery? Possibly through Gravity Forms? Or would I just need to make a form to submit the email address and give them a page password to access the files?

Thanks for your question. What you are looking for is indeed not possible with the Out-of-the-Box plugin itself. So you will need some kind of lead plugin that points the user to the Out-of-the-Box module after receiving their details.That could be a form plugin with a submit redirect to a page with the Out-of-the-Box plugin or perhaps a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/before-and-after/ (I haven’t tested that plugin!).

You have a message that you are gone in June. Last update was June and no comments for 3 months. Your plugin seems great. Are you still supporting your plugin?

Yes, I am still fully actively supporting this plugin! Not that many questions/issues about the plugin is good in this case, I guess ;).

I am currently working on version 2.0 of the Out-of-the-Box plugin will be released this month.

I hope this answers your question! Feel free to test the plugin on both Front-End and Back-End via the demo website in the link below. And if you have further questions, feel free to open a support ticket and I will do my best to help you out.

Thanks so much for responding. Your plugin looks great.

Is there a way to optimize the plugin so that when it streams large or multiple files without any lag or slow loading? I’m currently running into the issue where it’s really slow or simply lagging for users to use when there’s a lot of files in the folders even though the files are in small sizes.

Please let me know what I can do or get to make it go faster or more optimized for sharing multiple files.

Thanks for your question! I am not sure if you are referring to the download speed of the plugin or the speed of loading e.g. a filelist via the plugins module. If you want to share some more details, feel free to create a support ticket via the link below so I can have a closer look at it.

Hi!

Is there any way to embeed ALL the documents of a Dropbox folder, automatically? For example I choose a specific folder, so if I add/delete documents inside, the Wordpress page/post just shows in real time all the documents inside that Dropbox folder?

Thanks, Francisco

Yes, the File Browser module of Out-of-the-Box will automatically show the content of a by you selected folder in Dropbox directly on your WordPress page or post. If you add/delete documents on your Dropbox, the change will automatically become visible on your site within a couple of minutes, and you can always get the latest updates immediately by pressing the refresh button in the module.

I hope that answers your question! Feel free to test the plugin on both Front-End and Back-End via the demo website in the link below.

Hi, the plugin is excellent, I started using in my website.

Is there any way to add the possibility to use the “microsoft office” view for DOCS or EXCEL instead of the Dropbox View?

I was using this plugin https://codecanyon.net/item/embed-any-document-plus-wordpress-plugin/ that offers Google Docs Viewer Microsoft Office Online Dropbox

Thanks, Francisco

Interesting, Francisco! I wasn’t aware that the Office previewer now does support external content, so I will definitely implement this previewer for Office files in the Out-of-the-Box plugin as well. If the user isn’t allowed to download the file, but only to preview it, the plugin will still show the PDF version.

If you need this implementation straight away, just send me a support ticket via the link below and I can provide it to you when ready.

I need to find a way to have private users on the site load files into a one drive folder. I think based on what I am seeing your plugin does this but can you confirm? If we have a folder setup on one-drive can this provide a way to upload to that folder from our wordpress site?

Yes, you can use the plugin to upload content to the cloud. For Dropbox you can use the Out-of-the-Box plugin, and for OneDrive/SharePoint you can use the Share-one-Drive plugin.

You can e.g. add an Upload Box module to your site and select the upload location on your cloud account. You can also select who or which role should be able to upload content via this module.

Please note that the plugin also offers the ‘Private Folders’ feature, which gives each user their ‘own’ folder on your account. So you can for instance use that to let users upload content into their own folder in your upload location.

I hope that answers your question and feel free to test the plugin on both Front-End and Back-End via the demo website in the link below!

Pre-Sale Question:

Hi.

How does the private frontend sharing work?

What I need is that I can share an assigned Dropbox folder with each of my clients so when they login, they see the files uploaded to their folder but cannot see the other folders on our Dropbox account.

Example: The member’s username is “abcmember”, so we create a folder named /abcmember in the Dropbox account and map the folder to that user

Is this possible? If it is, how does it work in your plugin?

I appreciate your prompt reply so I can purchase the plugin.

Yes, that is perfectly possible with the Private Folders feature of the plugin (documentation). This feature allows you to link each user to their ‘own’ folder on your Dropbox. You basically add a single Out-of-the-Box module with the Private Folders feature enabled on (e.g.) a portal page and the Out-of-the-Box plugin will make sure that each user will only have access to their own folder via this module.

The Private Folders feature has to methods: ‘manual’ and ‘automatic’. This are basically two separate mechanisms which cannot be combined together in the same shortcode/module.

Manual mode (video) In this mode you manually link your user to an already existing folder on your Dropbox. You simply link your existing users via the [Out-of-the-Box] -> [Link Private Folders] menu. An user can only be linked to a single folder, and all shortcodes using the Private Folders in the manual mode will thus link to this folder.

Automatic mode (video) In this mode, you select a top folder where the Private Folders of your users will be created and the plugin will automatically link the user to his own private folder based on a specific ‘name template’ that is set in the module. By default it will create folder named like <<username>> (<<email>>). Each shortcode using the Private Folders in the auto mode can point to a different location.

Automatically linked users will not show up in the list of manually linked users as they have a different mechanism, are fully dynamic and are used for different solutions.

I hope that answer your question! If you have any questions regarding the configuration of this setting, just create a support ticket via the link below and I will do my best to help you out!
