Add a Dropbox feature to help us find empty subfolders.

Hello, I would like to suggest a feature to locate subfolders that have no information in them.  I love the duplicate finder feature and have used it quite a bit but now, I am having to go back through each sub folder to find the folder that I deleted the duplicate from.  It would just make life easier:). Thanks, Marsha

    Hi MChamb4150​,

    I just wanted to check in and see if this workaround would suffice.

    You could sort your folders by file size and go directly to the smallest ones as these would logically be the empty folders.

    You may need to go through a few parent folders but I thought I'd just share this quick fix with you and anyone else interested in the meantime.
