It would be good to sort photos by date, location or people recognition

I keep all my photos and videos in dropbox and it would be great to have a feature for photo library simular to Google Photos where photos can be sorted by date or location or by people recognition.

    Hey chernyavskiy - thanks for sharing your thoughts on this with us.

     

    May I ask if you're familiar with the photos tab in the mobile app or the photos page on the website?

     

    If not, can you have a look and let me know if they'd work for what you had in mind?

     

    Thanks!

    Thank you for your reply. 

     

    Mobile app has only 4 tabs. Home, files, activity, and account. It used to be a photo tab but I guess not anymore.

    Hi chernyavskiy, are you on a Dropbox Business team by any chance? The Photos tab should be visible on the mobile app when signed into a personal account.

    Yes, I am using a Dropbox Business account. To get a personal account I need to create a new account?

    Yes, you'd need to create a personal account under a different email address. If you're able to link that account to your Dropbox Business account, you can access both accounts from the site, desktop and mobile app. 

     

    When you switch to the personal account, you'll be able to see the Photos tab for that account alone.
