Add an option to delete or rename in photos previews.

Add an option to delete or rename in photos previews.

It would be great for Dropbox to add two features to the preview view: Delete and Rename

For example, my photos from my phone automatically go to my Camera Uploads folder, which is great.  Now, I want to delete all of the photos that I do not want and in some cases rename the file to reflect the content of the photo.  I currently have no way to do this with the current way that the preview view works.  I can comment and view the version history as well as open in Preview or View in Finder (I am on a Mac), but there is no way to delete the file or rename it while in the preview.  And going to the Finder on my Mac is not an option because I do not sync my Camera Uploads to a computer because it takes up too much space.  

I have been frustrated with this problem for years.  Happy to hear any solutions and workarounds while waiting and wanting for this feature to be implemented by Dropbox.

This would be huge for me.

Thanks,

Stan

+1 -- makes no sense to use a cloud storage solution that doesn't let you organize files in the cloud. I don't know what a photo looks like until I open it up, and going back and forth between photos means I can see which one to keep and which not.

I also don't sync all my Camera Uploads.

A Dropbox alternative might be to allow us to increase thumbnail size or use a thumbnail size slider as in Windows Explorer so we can see which files we're working on better in the list view.

Please, please, please, add the Delete button on picture preview. It's extremely annoying organize pictures without it.

 

Thanks

Often times I don't know what an image is just by the little thumbnail. I need to click into it to decide wether or not I should delete it. Then I need to click back, find it in the list again, and delete it from there. I don't see why I shouldn't be able to delete it from this page:

Btw the "idea labels" field is broken. "The following tag are not available here:" If I need to select from existing labels, give me a list... why are you making me guess?

I've recently been to a conference and took approx 150 photos which I want to post on social media and add to websites. I created a separate folder for them in Camera Uploads.

Now I'm reviewing them in preview,  and of course, some of them are duds.  Is there STILL no 'Delete in Preview' button? Or (hopefully) I may be just looking in the wrong place on the screen.

Or a workround please?How to delete.jpg
