1. Read this post (you’re off to a good start)!  

2. Next, search to see if someone else has already suggested your idea - your vote is powerful!

3. So, if your idea is unique - amazing! It’s time to share it with us.

4. Name your post something clear - something that you might search for. 

• This helps your potential voters find your idea!

5. Separate each different idea into a new post.

6. Give us as much insight as possible into how this feature or suggestion would help you use Dropbox better.
