You can't see what other people star. Starring a file or folder is like marking it as a favorite so it's easier to access. It serves no other purpose. If someone has left a comment on a file using the Dropbox comments feature, then you can view it via the Dropbox website. Refer to this help article for information on accessing comments left on a file.

Thank you for your response. For us dropbox has turned into a must have. Here is why, I've backed my computer with dropbox which allows me to right click any folder and share the link of a folder "in my computer" and share the link with my marketing team. In this case the folder has photos and they usually pick (star) the ones they want to move forward with. Obviously I can see their comments but they need to copy the image names and list them in our project management app (Wrike). We have been working with this option but it will save us so much time if we can see what the team has marked/picked with stars. Or maybe if dropbox can add color highlights to showcase certain files from the team.
