how do I generate a list of files in a folder?

[ercatx]

I need to generate a list of files in a dropbox folder that I can sort in a text editor offline and send to a user. How do I do this? I can't even figure out how to select and copy the list from the Files view.

Hiya, 

I found a crude cheat on this.  

1. Select all of the folders that you want to make the list for 
2. Click 'copy' button
3. When the dialogue box pops up, hit ctrl + A (or whatever select all is on your computer)
4. Go into word / wherever and paste - if you paste normally they are hyperlinks so you can do a paste special and paste unformatted text.  

Hope that helps.

To @Trace Crisp the windows desktop app has all the DB features built in. You can drop files into a local folder on your hard drive and it will automatically sync with the DB server. https://www.dropbox.com/desktop

Windows of course has loads of tools for generating and managing lists of files.
