Save Offline Folder Link to Home Screen on iOS
I want to be able to go directly to a single offline folder directly by clicking on an icon on my Home Screen on iOS just like I can add (share) a URL from Safari to my Home Screen. One click on an icon on my Home Screen takes me directly into a specific folder in Dropbox folder.

Tab of external users and folders they have access to in Admin Console
Running into the Issue of how do we manage multiple external users. managing external collaborators is a manual nightmare, requiring us to check each shared folder individually or parse unwieldy CSVs from External Sharing reports its driving us crazy

Retain folder structure when using Camera Uploads on mobile app
Backing up photos on mobile dumps them all into one 'Camera Uploads' folder. The expected behavior is that the photos uploaded will stay in their own folders. This should at the very least be a toggle option. Every other Dropbox Backup solution retains folders, so why are photos any different? You even select the folders to upload from when setting this up, so the functionality is a step away. Pretty jarring UX from an otherwise great service.

Enable the option to view and sort folders by modification date
Our team often relies on sorting folders by modification date in descending order to stay organized and focus on active work. Currently, Dropbox doesn’t show modification dates for folders, making it hard to track recent updates at a glance. Adding this feature would greatly improve usability and help users stay on top of their work.

Duplicate should only duplicate and not also move
In the Android app, when I duplicate a file, I usually want the copy to be in the same directory. However, the initial directory to save the copy is the root directory. Therefore, I have to tap many times to get back to the initial directory. This behavior is very similar to the behavior for the move feature. My idea suggestion is that the duplicate feature should only duplicate the file and not also include the move behavior. If I want to move the duplicated file, then I can do that after. Alternatively, the duplicate feature can include the move behavior but use the current directory as the initial directory.

Display the last modification date for folders in normal view.
Displaying the date of the last modification. The information is available because when you open the folder info, you can see the date of the last modification, but in normal view, it only shows the date of modification of the files, not the folders.

Can you make it so it automatically plays the next video when you're watching videos on Dropbox?

Allow for custom Folder sorting
Like the Topic suggests, allow for custom folder sorting. I might want files in one folder sorted by name whereas in another by type or modification date.

View shared photos as a gallery
When I share a Dropbox link to a folder with photographs, the web link is not optimized for photo viewing on any platform (phone or desktop). The thumbnails are too small and compressed. And on a phone's web browser, users can swipe through individual photos, but it requires two separate taps, thereby quickly becoming cumbersome. I am suggesting the idea to have Dropbox photo folders appear as a dynamic, tiled gallery, much like on a dedicated iOS or Android app. Google Drive's photo gallery is a great example of how to implement such a feature on Dropbox.

Detection of photo dublicates from selected folders
It would be nice if I could select the folders where I want to find photo dublicates. This would speed up the search process and allow for more focused work.
