How to organize files
Hi there, I would like to organize my files with folders and subfolders. However, the system doesn't let me because some of the files are shared. I have too much clutter now and would like to stream...
- The ability to organize your folders already exists. It's possible to have folders and sub-folders and structure them how you want. In fact, if you have the Dropbox client installed on your computer, any folder structure you create in the Dropbox folder will be synced to your account online.
Does this mean that if I organize my folders on the "finder" window in my mac that it will sync up and reflect that on my online browser dropbox? Or do i have to do it in both places?

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey there jordanbrownmusi,
Any changes that you make to your files and folders in your desktop Dropbox folder will sync to the website (and vice versa) so you only need to make this change in one place.
I would only add that the changes will need to sync, so you might not see the changes reflected immediately. You'll be able to see the progress by checking the syncing status of the desktop app, once it's "up to date" you'll be good to go!
I hope that clarifies the matter, let me know if you have any other questions!
