Folders
12 TopicsEnable users to subscribe/unsubscribe to comments for a whole folder
I am a retoucher and share dozens of images in folders with my team. They then comment on the files. The photographer is the owner, so gets notified of comments automatically. I am a team admin and at present, to be notified of comments, I have to subscribe to each individual file (it is a large team and not everyone names me in their comments). I simply don't have time to do this for hundreds of images in multiple folders. My suggestion is that users should be able to subscribe (and therefore unsubscribe) to comments for a whole folder - or at least multiple files at once. It would be a huge time saver!39Views0likes2CommentsDefault drive options
For Windows users, when installing Dropbox the user has no option but to allow DropBox to sync data with the C drive. Many Windows based PCs are now shipped with a smaller C drive (for apps) and a larger D drive (for data). Many folks also use external drives for data. Please give users the option to choose which drive they wish to sync with. I recently had to reset my PC. When I re-installed DropBox, I wasted about 2 hours syncing, resetting the default drive and re-syncing. Thanks, James857Views0likes5CommentsSecure and hidden files
It would be a great idea to implement an extra layer of protection to be able to hide certain files or be able to lock them with a set password within the app since I experience multiple users on multiple machines of mine being able to access most of the files. Therefor I would really benefit from a folder I can lock with my personal password and therefor hide sensitive information or files that should not be accessed by other users but me. I would suggest calling it something like Vault or Hidden Files. This could also be done via integration through the apps, let people decide if they want to install the vault feature or not.51Views2likes3CommentsQuick View: smaller thumbnails option would be helpful
Hi, folder "Quick view" would be more helpful to me if it could show more thumbnails in its panel. Right now the thumbnails are huge and can only show four. Would be great to have smaller thumbnails so I can see 4x that amount in the right panel. Thanks.37Views2likes2CommentsAllow us to export folder data and names to a spreadsheet/document.
Recently was asked with organizing a company folder, unpacking folders and renaming folders to see everything on one easy scroll. Problem is, there are now so many folders that I can't easily review with coworkers to find errors or suggest notes for the folder names (to make sure thing are easily found by name). There should be a way to easily export the folder data to a spreadsheet or blank document to help in review processes. Sometimes things are better reviewed in the physical form (spread it out and see everything in one sweep). Screens can just be so limited space wise.29Views0likes1CommentGet an option to prioritize syncing for folders on the desktop app.
Dropbox currently has an option to prioritize which files to sync first. I'd like to extend that to provide the same functionality for selected folders. This will be particularly helpful in migrating to new equipment but also when changing a large amount of content. Can do?74Views3likes3CommentsNotification icon for unseen new files
Taken from this post. (https://www.dropboxforum.com/idea/101002013/notifications-for-file-request-uploads-and-icon-on-unseen-new-files/826030) For some reason it's giving me an error if I try to put this as a link... My boss really needs a super friendly user experience since he isn't that tech savvy. I think it'd be very helpful if there was an option to show an icon on any unseen new files, and to have folders have a number icon showing how many of these unseen new files are inside. Kind of like unread emails/texts.44Views3likes1CommentNotifications for new file request uploads
My boss really needs a super friendly user experience since he isn't that tech savvy. He'd really like it if the mobile app icon showed the "little red number" for unseen new file uploads. I don't see any option for notifications on new uploads... [edited by moderator to remove the second suggestion] Also, the web interface for posting this has reset twice right before I could post it, wiping my entire post. I had to type it up somewhere else and paste it here. No idea why that was happening...79Views3likes4CommentsAdd detailed folder description to Dropbox Replay folders
It should be possible to add a description to folders within Dropbox Replay. This could be in the form of a text box at the top of the folder, where the admin can input a few lines of text, providing general info or workflow instructions which streamlines the collaboration process.61Views0likes4CommentsAdding more options for folder permissions aside from "Can edit" and "Can view"
Similarly to how local network drives allow for specific permissions, I wish Dropbox had more granular permissions other than Can View & Can Edit. For instance, a user in our company has been accidentally moving, duplicating, and in very rare instances, been deleting files and folders from other user's projects. Thankfully folder activity exists so we can see who was responsible and when it happened, but I would still love to be able to restrict users from doing certain actions in specific folders. Especially for those files you don't want deleted or moved.72Views0likes4Comments
