Hey milomilomilo, I hope you're doing well! 

 

When you star an image, that will show up only on your end, not the person you're sharing it with.

 

The best alternative I can give you for this is to comment on the shared files you want to work on. 

 

Would that work? 

 

I hope this helps!

This would be unbelievably useful—if there was an option to "favourite" or "star" images along with comments that are visible and collaborative to both sides. Currently, we have to use third-party programs to share photo proofs with clients just so they can select the images they want to purchase. Comments alone are too cumbersome when there's hundreds of images to go through. One tiny addition of a star would make Dropbox for photos unbeatable!

    I would suggest that you use our "Share an idea" board, when you have a moment; in order to present this as a feature request. That way, other users can also upvote it, and if it gets enough votes, our engineers might consider it. 😊
