Allow us to hide certain folders from the Photos tab.
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. [translated with an online translation tool]
Imperative: Camera Uploads Update
Hello. Can you please make it so that people are able to change the name of the "Camera Uploads" without it cancelling the automatic uploads after doing so and also make it so that people can simultaneously upload files from multiple albums in their device into separate folders on Dropbox? This will make it far easier everyone to organize everything, especially when sharing the folder(s) with others. Point 1: As of right now, if someone were to change the name of the "Camera Uploads" folder to something else, let's say to "Andrew's Content," the automatic uploads will completely cancel future automatic uploads into that folder and create a whole entire new folder, again named "Camera Uploads," resulting in 2 separate folders which is inefficient, can lead users to become very confused, and what can be seen as an error in the algorithm from my point of view. Point 2: If a business has multiple people sharing their "Camera Uploads" folder to them, that business has no way to distinguish between which "Camera Uploads" folder belongs to whom, nor is the business able to change the name of the folder for themselves on their end. This is a major problem. Point 3: When people want to set up automatic uploads from multiple albums in their phone named, let's call them 'Content 1,' Content 2,' and 'Content 3,' and have them saved in either the same and/or separate folders in Dropbox, they can't because it is not even a feature. Can you please look into this and make these, what I think would be very beneficial quality of life, updates? Thank you so much for your time and consideration! Thank you, Andrew
Viewing my files in a chronological order- especially necessary for photographs.
Viewing my files in a chronological order- especially necessary for photographs. An example of the need for the photos that I put in a folder for a client is this- I photographed a construction site to capture existing conditions along a perimeter of a project. Itâs important that all the photos facing north be grouped together- one shot after another. If the client wants to follow along the walk and the conditions, it just doesnât make sense for the shots to be out of order. Not only that, it makes me look unorganized and unprofessional. Another example is taking photos of a goalie at at soccer game. Doesnât it seem logical that the shots would reflect the action of the ball and the player in the order that the ball is played? Having the shots in order is a necessity. Having to search and arrange myself takes extra time. I view this organizational tool as a priority. Thank you.
Camera Upload filtering & Album organisation.
I would really like to see some key features added to the camera uploads folder. For example, having separators by the year when photos were taken or the ability to filter by location (if available) would be very helpful. Also, a tab for albums would be a nice addition. I'm trying to shift away from using Google Photos for backup and instead rely on my Dropbox plan, since I have plenty of space. If Dropbox could enhance its camera upload backup system, it would be a game changer!
Enhanced filter / search using the Photos tab directly
I really like the photos tab functionality that allows you to select which type of items and show grouped by year /month / day and resize the images with the - + (this layout below) and being able to move to a specific year by clicking on the menu on the right of the screen but I would really like to be able to filter the photos to show a selection of them using the tags I have allocated to the individual files on this photos tab. The only way that I have found to filter the images is to use the search bar to look for a tag - it does show the correct photos but on the "All Files" tab and I lose the functionality to use the years/months/days viewing and the sizing - + and in particular I can't then select a year because the menu on the right disappears. This would be useful if searching a tag that would return a large number of photos ie. #holiday
Scroll through photos in fullscreen mode on Android devices
Currently, it's not possible to scroll through photos smoothly in the app on Android devices. This limits usability, especially when browsing photo collections. I suggest implementing a swipe or scroll feature that allows users to navigate between photos seamlessly, simular to galleri apps. This would greatly improve the user experience for photographers and others who manage visual content in the Dropbox app. Thank you for considering this improvement.
Hide folders from Photos tab
I have a lot of photos in my Dropbox, both edited and raw/unedited files. It would be great with the possibility to hide certain folders from the Photos tab so that e.g. all of the unedited raw files doesn't show up in between the final versions. Also, this would allow hiding folders with other image files that you don't want in your photo collection. This could either be some right-click folder property, or it could be done by adding e.g. a .dropboxhidephotos file to the folder.
