Hi Joseph C.23, if you don't mind, can I ask why you want to print the filenames? I would be in favour of a screenshot for posterity myself, but as noted above, cengelma found a way to create a word doc. That is a few more steps than I would take, if it's just to have a record, but if you need to be able to copy/paste, that might solve your problem!

    Hi Amy,

     

    We don't have all of our Dropbox files syncing on one computer/server, only some files. 

    We simply wanted to see a list of everything, at least in the main directory so we can clean up the files. One cannot even make decent print views from the web to achieve this. 

     

    Thank you.

      Ah thanks for clarifying Joseph C.23. I don't think I have a solution for you about this right now, but I will certainly flag it to the team. I am really interested in how different teams use Dropbox, so this has been enlightening. Thank you!
