Need to see if your shared folder is taking up space on your dropbox 👨💻? Find out how to check here.
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 ...
Personally this solution would not work for me as I store most of my photos in my family vault photos folder as this is the easiest way to share my photos and see those my family have also taken - I would end up with loads of duplicates if I had to keep copies in my camera upload as well as in family to share them and ensure that I knew when my family added new photos to copy them across. If it was possible to select the root folder for photos, an on / off toggle would potentially work although I would still prefer a filter on the Dropbox photos tab so you can search for filenames / tags (I have raised this as a request) as this gives far more flexibility viewing photos - one photo can be stored once in a date structured folder/file system but with numerous tags could be viewed under many different groupings with other similar photos - kind of creating an albums viewing function but still keeping the photo tab functionality.
I would also be very interested to find out why photo viewing functionality is such a low priority when Dropbox have spent so much time putting together guides on how to store and sort your photos, automatic backing up of photos from phones, created a family fault enabling easy sharing of photos etc and creating a photo tab with good viewing functionality that is not actually usable for a large number of users - I work from home so have shared work folders on my personal Dropbox that contain hundreds of photos of other people’s children (legit photos - I work for a preschool and print photos for their learning journals). I cannot use the photo tab to view my holiday photos with a friend / family as it would inevitably show some of my work photos and I would be in breach of data protection regulations. My only option is to do a search which then only allows me to view the photos using file explorer functionality. The only way around this would be to unshare my work folders every time I wanted to view my photos and then reshare them when I need to work - completely impractical.
What is the point of having an amazing and organised photo storage facility if it is not user friendly to actually view the photos?
My photos are currently all on onedrive as I was given extra storage with my laptop but I was in the process of transferring them to Dropbox because I prefer the file storage and sharing functionality until I realised that the viewing functionality is not practical. So now thinking of leaving Dropbox family and replacing with a different subscription provider that provides me with a user friendly method of viewing my photos.
I think the point here is that any image (icons, logos, graphics, etc.) in Dropbox, regardless of what folder it is in, is shown in the mobile Photos tab. This is where the problem lies. The mobile Photos tab becomes basically useless.
This mobile Photos tab is totally different from the Photos folder in Dropbox where you can make and share galleries with Dropbox and non-Dropbox users alike. Why Dropbox named them both the same is beyond me because they definitely do not have the same functionality.
People are asking that only the images in the Camera Uploads folder (because that's where uploads from, say, iPhone photos, are synchronized to) and other designated folders be shown in the mobile Photos tab. This would make the mobile Photos tab much more usable.
