Shortcut to files and folders

Shortcut to files and folders

Hi, I would love to see this feature come to Dropbox as already this is possible with local file systems and Google Drive.

 

Create a folder shortcut inside another folder to provide easy navigation and save space, not having to duplicate that folder into new folders.

 

Example

I create a different folder for different projects and have different people shared with each folder. Inside each project folder, I have similar template files for our teams to use. Right now, I have to duplicate it in each folder if I want my team to have access to that. Instead, it would be great just to create a shortcut to my template folder inside all my project folders.

Hey @biscaldis, thanks for posting here!

 

We do offer a feature that would allow you to create a shortcut of another web page in your Dropbox, through our website, which works for files and folders in your Dropbox.

 

You can see more info about it here.

 

Is this something that would work for you?

Hi @biscaldis, did you have a chance to have a look at what my colleague Hannah suggested? 

 

Would that work out for you?
