1. I'm really sorry, but I can't find the customise icon anywhere within my Dropbox Android app.
2. This is a two-click, not a single-click solution (and anyway the folders should remember their views).
3. Thank you.

Hi Haluk K.! What you can do instead, so that no one can access your Dropbox account, is to set a unique passcode when opening the app, that you’ll only know. Here are the steps on how to configure this.

 

Antony P.3, the customize/palette icon should be visible at your Home tab (not the Files tab) and at the top right corner. 

 

Hope this helps!

    Hi Nancy,
    Yes, the palette icon has now appeared in a new update. However, now the spacing is different between folders – is there a way to customize (reduce) that, so that more fits on the screen?

      Hey Philip Kapadia, welcome to our Community! 

       

      Can you clarify the OS and Dropbox app version you're using on your end, and also let me know if you're talking about camera uploads, or manually uploading files by clicking the + icon? 

       

      Feel free to send me a screenshot too, if you have one available. 

       

      Also Antony P.3, I do not believe that's possible, but give me some time to check internally about this, and I'll get back to you.

        Hello Megan, Thank you. 

         

        I'm on the latest Android OS and Dropbox (Apologies - too lazy to find out for the moment, but I don't think it's relevant for the suggestion I'm trying to make)

         

        I'm trying to download files from my Dropbox account, but I noticed when I initialize the download, there is no progress bar within the application, which indicates how many GB is left to download.
