Make Dropbox More Dynamic for Users and Organization

Make Dropbox More Dynamic for Users and Organization

Okay, there are a couple of things I noticed while trying to really maximize Dropbox and make it easy to use for our organization. Our organization uploads lots of content from our marketing influencers and choose Dropbox as our storage system and also ... explore automations.

 

1. Clicking the info icon for files doesn't display the tags. It'd be much easier if the info would also include the tags added for these files.

2. When you apply a tag to a folder, I hope that it also applies that tag to its nested folders, files included.

3. There is no way to view easy access of files within a specific folder. You'd have to go through "Photos" section and see all the files sorted by date. Is there a way to be in the search tab, search a folder name, click that, and see all the files sorted by date in that specific folder? and be able to set filters by tag, if I want to so it's more dynamic?

 

Any thoughts on this and if this is part of the roadmap?

Well, the highest priority for us really is to push the automations as easy as possible and the tagging system. I'd like to add a couple of things.

 

1. The ability to manage my tags. (Edit, Sort, Nest, Categorize, and automated)

- Best case scenario is, if files are uploaded in this folder, label all files with (tag 1, tag 2, tag 3 and etc)

 

2. The ability to click a parent folder and display files sorted by date.

- This is very similar when you click the "Photos", it shows you all files regardless of what folder it was uploaded to. But with #2, it would be a filtered version of "Photos" displaying files from the parent folder. (I also hope it can work on child folders)

 

3. The ability to automate the creation of automated folders.

- In integromat/make, or Zapier (we are heavy on make), we'd like to be able to create automated folders via automation.

 

I understand that these were all heavy but I think the native features you should have are #1 and #2. It'd be great if you can link me to the existing requests for this feature to see a timeline or really, if it could be done within the next updates, it'd be very awesome!!!
