Newbie to Dropbox needs help sorting a large library by author.
Gentles all....I am going to use Dropbox to back up my Calibre library of over 6000 books. I can sort by title, author, or date added in Calibre. I would like to be able to do the same in Dropbox....
Don’t see how to attach screenshots!
In my Calibre library I can sort by author, title or date added. It is sorted by author now. In my old Dropbox somehow the books that I add are in a Public folder with subfolders of authors name and the subfolders arrange themselves alphabetically. I tried to see in Preferences how that works but no joy
When I add books to my new Dropbox they are alphabetized by title(which comes first for each book). Can’t figure it out! Thanks

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey ljrkrispes, you can try creating individual folders for each of the authors, and adding their books in there.
At the moment, these are your options when it comes to sorting content: 
.
If you wish, renaming the file would also work, if you wish to put the author's first or last name in the beginning of the file's name.
