8 years agoHi there MikeHK!
Could you be referring to the option to see the file structure of a folder? In this case, this isnât currently an option from the website, but instead, you should be able to do this from the desktop app.
Since the Dropbox folder is just like any other folder on your computer, you should be able to view the folder structure just like you would for any other folder through your OSâs file browser (File explorer for Windows and Finder for Mac).
In any case, Iâd be more than happy to pass your comments along to the dev team for future consideration. Hope this helped to some extent! :grinning:

Lusil,
Thank you for your reply and sorry for the late reply in response.
What I would like to do is create a file directory to help people navigate a Folder I have shared with them rather than looking at the file structure of a Folder. It would be a document ( Word or PDF) and the contents would look something like this
Master Folder
1. Sub Folder
1.1 Sub Folder A
List of files in Sub folder A
1.2 Sub Folder B
List of files in Sub Folder B
2. Sub Folder
List of files if Sub Folder 2
3. Sub Folder
List of files if Sub Folder 3
4. Sub Folder
4.1 Sub Folder C
List of files in Sub folder C
4.2 Sub Folder D
List of files in Sub Folder D
Do you know a way to do this?
Thanks
Mike
