Allow us to hide certain folders from the Photos tab.
Sería muy útil contar con la opción de seleccionar qué directorios incluir o excluir en el apartado "Fotos". Muchas veces almacenamos imágenes o capturas de pantalla en carpetas específicas, y estas ...

Many have mentioned the problems with the Photos tab showing all photos in Dropbox. This is probably already said somewhere, but my problems with it are:
- Since I use Dropbox for almost all of my "working" files and folders, I have many images that are not really for viewing purposes. There are even icons from various applications, stored web pages, etc. that aren't really even "photo" images. These just add to the extreme clutter of the Photos tab.
- Because of the clutter, the photos tab is almost impossible to use for it's purpose, to view photo images.
- I have learned this lesson the hard way, but if you remove a thumbnail in the Photos tab, it removes the image from your Dropbox folder, wherever it is. This is just dumb and sloppy programming, but it's the way the Photos tab in Dropbox works.
- Sometimes I have to backup a client's computer folder when I'm on-site. I do this to Dropbox so that I can access it later at a different computer. Any image from the backup ends up with a thumbnail (and that thumbnail links to the actual image). I definitely do not need these images in my Photos tab.
The only feature that works fairly well (despite not uploading in the background due to Apple restrictions) is the camera uploads. These are what I expect to see in the Photos tab. It should be restricted to showing and linking to images in the Camera Uploads, and the Photos folders. Period! If a person want to have the thumbnail (and link) in the Photos tab, they should put the images in the Photos folder. That is the purpose of that folder.
