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 terminan mezclándose con nuestras fotos principales, generando desorden visual.

Poder limitar la visualización únicamente a los directorios que realmente contienen fotos ayudaría a mantener una experiencia más organizada y enfocada.

It would be very helpful to have the option to select which directories to include or exclude in the "Photos" section. We often store images or screenshots in specific folders, and these end up mixed in with our main photos, creating visual clutter.

Being able to limit the display to only the directories that actually contain photos would help maintain a more organized and focused experience.

    If only they brought it back! 😭 It makes Dropbox Family‘s shared “Family Room” useless for photos because ALL members are forced to see photos in folders added Family Room. It ruins the individual users Photo tab experience.

    They had this functionality long ago but got rid of it. You used to be able to tell it to ignore certain folders, then the images in those folders wouldn't appear on the Photos page.
