SELECTING MULTIPLE STARRED FILES
Hi, Can anyone help with a shortcut to selecting multiple starred files?
I have over 300 starred photo files I'm trying to download.
There's got to be a better way than clicking all those fil...
Hi porchbaby, and welcome aboard the Community!
What you can do is go to your Photos page on www.dropbox.com and then, click on the Starred column there; all of your starred photos should appear.
If you have many images for each year, you can also select the âYearâ option from the menu, and click on the small checkboxes above each yearâs photos. That should select all of them and you can then, download them in bulk.
I hope that makes sense, but Iâm here if you need to ask me something.
Hi Nancy,
coming back with this solution a few months later because that works bit only for me ... I do not see all the starred files ... as there was a missing identification / refresh.
Do you know any way to "re-index" all the starred files?
Many thanks for your attention,
Maxime

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi Maxime Coevoet, sorry to hear about that!
Would it be too much of a trouble if you could attach here some screenshots of your starred content, as shown in the mobile app, and some as shown on the web?
When did this behavior start happening?
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
Hi Megan,
thank you for coming back to my questions!
Here are some screenshots:
1. In a specific folder, you can see starred files:
2. The same folder, "Favoris" selected, no files:
3. Here is the screen of "January 2020", same period of time I made the screen shots:
Is there a limit of "starred" files we can select? Then to be displayed: any "cache issue"?
Many thanks,
Maxime

Hey Maxime! On your mobile app, Iâd like you to tap on the small button with the 3 horizontal lines, right next to the upward arrow, at the top part of your Dropbox app.
After that, please make sure youâve selected your Starred items from the menu. Can you see all of them now perhaps?
Hi Nancy,
thanks for coming back. The screenshot you see is already a filter view (through the upper roght button) on the starred files on my Android phone.
Does that help?Maxime
