Can we have the "Sync Next" option for folders too?

[ronill]

It will make my life so much easier if I could choose what folder should be sync first, or at least have the option to make a file sync next, I dont know why this option disappeared.. Im a photographer and I work with a lot of photos. every time Im editing the dropbox takes forever to upload my original unedited photos first before the photos I've already edit. its time consuming and quite annoying.

That would be great, have the option to choose the file/folder that will be sync next would be a fast track for me as Dropbox user. Some times there are those large files that sync in front of my main file and it takes forever!

This possibility will make everything even better!

We've been asking for this sort of function for a long time! C'mon DropBox!  People have voted for this idea on various posts over the years.  The only reply we get eventually is: "This idea has been closed as it has reached the end of the 'Share an Idea' process." 

What nonsense!!

It seems that the "Sync Next" option is only  available for single files so far, why not extended it to folders ?

This would make life much easier 🙂

It would be really handy to be able to prioritize an entire 'folder' or 'batch' of files to be able to use the 'synch next' feature on. As of now, I can only use this feature on individual files. Given that I have a lot of video files I want to be prioritized, this will take a long time selecting them individually. If I could select an entire folder to 'synch next' it would be handy.

Hi @grantburks, your idea seems to echo this one, so I merged your post under this thread. Feel free to take a look and upvote it as well to show your interest. 

For anyone not seeing the 'sync next' option for files, please open a new thread in Ask the Community so that we can assist further.
