SerĂa muy Ăștil contar con la opciĂłn de seleccionar quĂ© directorios incluir o excluir en el apartado "Fotos". Muchas veces almacenamos imĂĄgenes o capturas de pantalla en carpetas especĂficas, y estas terminan mezclĂĄndose con nuestras fotos principales, generando desorden visual. Poder limitar la visualizaciĂłn Ășnicamente a los directorios que realmente contienen fotos ayudarĂa a mantener una experiencia mĂĄs organizada y enfocada. ------------------------ It would be very helpful to have the option to select which directories to include or exclude in the "Photos" section. We often store images or screenshots in specific folders, and these end up mixed in with our main photos, creating visual clutter. Being able to limit the display to only the directories that actually contain photos would help maintain a more organized and focused experience.

Wouldnât it be amazing if we could customize our Dropbox folders to make them more visually appealing and easier to organize? I think adding more options to personalize folders could make a big difference, and Iâd love to hear what others think about this idea! Here are a few features Iâd suggest: Folder Colors: Imagine being able to color-code your foldersâso much easier to spot what you need at a glance! Custom Icons: A simple icon, like a music note for your playlists or a book for your eBooks, could make folders feel more intuitive. This icon could be applied to the already existing folder image, or replace the folder with just an icon. Upload Your Own Images: Personalize your workspace with photos or unique images as folder coversâpractical and fun! These tweaks wouldnât just look great; theyâd make organizing and navigating files so much smoother. Plus, other platforms already offer similar options, and it would be awesome to see Dropbox join in! If you think these features would be helpful, letâs make some noise and get Dropbox to consider them. What are your thoughts? Do you have other ideas for folder customization? Letâs chat in the comments and show the Dropbox team how much weâd love this!886Views14likes7CommentsOption to select all duplicates for multiple files
When there are a large number of files, we should be able to select them all at once and delete them. Currently, we need to select them one by one and delete each one individually. This is time-consuming and would be very easy to implement.678Views0likes5CommentsWork with multiple folders at the same time on the website
Work with multiple folders at the same time on the web (in one page). For example you can do some tabs. I would like to easely move files between folders. I don't want to go through the entire folder structure every time I move files before I get to the one I want. For example something as new tabbed file explorer in Windows 11.655Views0likes2CommentsA visual tree map for smarter storage management of a Dropbox folder structure
We often need to know what our Dropbox space is being used by. What if we could see it, visually and intuitively? Iâm proposing a new Dropbox feature inspired by tools like SpaceMonger: a visual storage map that shows your entire Dropbox as a treemap of nested rectangles, each one sized in proportion to the space it consumes. Folders would be represented as boxes within boxes, giving you an immediate sense of which areas are taking up the most room. This birdâs-eye view would make it dramatically easier to identify storage hogs, clean up unneeded files, and make informed decisions about organizing or upgrading your storage. Integrated directly into the Dropbox web interface, it would be a natural, powerful addition for users who care about managing space efficiently, whether you're close to your storage limit or just trying to be informed and strategic on how you use it. Of course, the particulars of the UI/UX could be debated by your experts, but the gist is that an intuitive visual representation of our subscriptions' allocated space and how it is being used would be a tremendous addition to the platform.

Iâm not sure why this has been suggested for years now and this basic functionality still isnât present in the app. This makes your automation really frustrating if I canât add tags on my phone when Iâm away from my computer and adding files from my phone.307Views7likes7CommentsOption to select a specific directory in the team member folder upon joining a shared content.
Whenever we join a shared folder it syncs into the parent directory. If we can sync all such folders into a specific directory that would be wonderful and would keep the parent directory clear enough. It becomes clumsy when everything syncs into the parent directory. Currently, we need to join it and then move it to the desired folder.266Views0likes8CommentsTo be able to right click and search through tags.
I'm an Evernote user from the early days. Tagging items has been something I'm accustomed to for a long time. I'm bummed that Dropbox isn't taking full advantage of these. They are not easy to get to in the web interface at all. I count at least 3 clicks, and none of those clicks are "Tag..." Once something is tagged... am I just missing something? It's not evident at all. They aren't distinguished in a "bubble" or "block", color coded, and no option exists in the sidebar. I also cannot add the tags to my visible column set (also really lacking area). The only place I've discovered that tags actually exists in the web interface is under the search bar - but not at all where I would expect to see them in the application.238Views2likes6CommentsViewable tags next to folders/files when you try to preview them.
Hello Dropbox team đ I would really really love to be able to see tags appear besides the name of the files in any view, or folder, and on the mobile app, web version, and desktop app. Just a nice coloured tag left to the star icon would be wonderful. Yes, I know at Dropbox you are not a big fan of small, seemingly unnecessary cutomizations that don't serve an immediate and measurable purpose, but making customers happy is very important (here by improving UI and UX significantly and seemlessly for a small amount of time and effort). I'm sure the intern could figure it out in three days. Also if you are hyper motivated you can add a filter for tags to sort files (but NOT necessary, making them visible and coloured is already a great improvement). Here is what I imagine when I say tags: For colours you can do just like in Notion, where you can choose from pre-determined colours:208Views4likes4Comments
