How do I access my files on the site?

How do I access my files on the site?

It used to be when I opened DropBox, a list of my folders would come up.  Now all I see is "recent files".  How do I get DropBox to open up with the folder list?

Hello @cpierce!

 

When you first log into https://www.dropbox.com/ you are on your "Home" page. On the "Home" page you will see Files that are "Recent" and files "Suggested from your activity." You may not see every folder/file, on your account, on the Home page. If you want to see all of your files/folders, please follow the below instructions:

 

  1. Go to https://www.dropbox.com/h
  2. In the Left hand Column, click on Files
  3. Done. You should see all of your files/folders

 

I hope this helps!

This didn't really answer my question. I want to be able to open up DropBox and see my list of folders, not "recent" files or "suggested" files. Is there a way to change the home screen to open up with the folders showing like it used to? The way it is now, it's just another step to go through. I know what files I have dealt with recently, and I don't care what files you suggest I may want. I know what folders I have and what files are in them.

Sign in, click Files on the left, then bookmark that page and use the bookmark to enter the site.
