Thanks for posting on our Community, samassi76! Welcome aboard. 

Are you referring to the steps that are described in this Help Center article perhaps? If yes, you can create a Dropbox folder shortcut on your Android device that way. 

Let me know, if you need something else.

good morning Nancy, you know the procedure well, on my previous Android I had done it. I just got the Xiaomi 15 Ultra and there is no this very useful possibility.

    Hey again, samassi76! Can you send me a screenshot of what you see when searching for Dropbox in your widgets? 

    If you tap on the Dropbox app for a bit longer instead and then select your Dropbox folder, are you able to create a shortcut then? 

    Finally, what’s your current OS version?
