Printing a list of files in Dropbox

[cengelma]

I've been trying to figure out if there is a way to print a list of files in a Dropbox folder.  Turns out there is no such printing option. However, if you select all files with Ctrl + A, all subfolders and files will be selected.  Then using Ctrl + C, copy to the clipboard.  Next open a new blank Word document and paste (Ctrl +V) to the Word page.  All text should appear from the Dropbox webpage. Delete whatever text is not relevant and you'll be left with a list of folders and files.

Thanks for the tip here, @cengelma!

I moved your post to the relevant board, so other users can see your suggestion.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hello.

Is there a way to pint a list view of all of the file directories from a web browser?

Thank you

Hi @Joseph C.23, currently, there isn't a method to do so via the Dropbox site.

There may be other apps or services that might be able to extract a list of folders on your account.

Wonderful...

Thank you.

Hi @Joseph C.23, if you don't mind, can I ask why you want to print the filenames? I would be in favour of a screenshot for posterity myself, but as noted above, @cengelma found a way to create a word doc. That is a few more steps than I would take, if it's just to have a record, but if you need to be able to copy/paste, that might solve your problem!

Hi Amy,

We don't have all of our Dropbox files syncing on one computer/server, only some files. 

We simply wanted to see a list of everything, at least in the main directory so we can clean up the files. One cannot even make decent print views from the web to achieve this. 

Thank you.

Ah thanks for clarifying @Joseph C.23. I don't think I have a solution for you about this right now, but I will certainly flag it to the team. I am really interested in how different teams use Dropbox, so this has been enlightening. Thank you!
