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.
Dropbox new organized photo experience
I already use Dropbox as my main place to store and back up all of my photos. I intentionally donât keep photos on my phone to avoid using device storage, so everything lives in Dropbox. The challenge is that my photos are now scattered across many folders, because folders are currently the only way to organize them. While this works for storage, it makes it hard to browse, rediscover, and enjoy my photos the way I can in a native Photos app. What I would love is a dedicated Photos section inside Dropbox that treats photos as photos, not just files in folders. What this Photos experience could include: A Photos tab (separate from folders) Automatically surfaces all photos stored anywhere in Dropbox Folder structure stays intact in Files, but Photos are unified in one view (or maybe we can select which folders will be part of the photo section Date-based browsing View photos by date taken, not upload date or folder location Easily see: All photos from a specific year, Months, days, or events This would let me access all photos from one year in one place, without photos from other years mixed in Map view If photos include GPS metadata, show them on a map Ability to zoom into countries or cities and see photos taken there This would make travel photos especially easy and enjoyable to explore Filters and smart views Filter by: Date range, Location, Media type (photos vs videos), Smart groupings like: âAll photos this yearâ âTravelâ âFavoritesâ Gallery-style experience Clean grid view with zoomable thumbnails, Date headers, Album creation without needing to reorganize folders This would allow me to keep using Dropbox as my primary photo storage solution, while also having a modern, intuitive photo browsing experience, similar to native phone photo apps, without relying on phone storage. Since many users already store large photo libraries in Dropbox, a native Photos experience would unlock much more value from content thatâs already there
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.
Photo AI Index search & Detection
Please pass this on to your engineers, please incorporate photo indexing where I can select someone's face and have Dropbox search through all my photos and find all the associated photos. But don't limit it to just human beings but let it be anything. Please incorporate this feature. Because there's so many pictures and or videos i want to delete but i have hundreds of thousands of photos to go through and it's impossible to do so. Also, it be cool if i can choose someone's face and have the option to "delete" their face in the group photo.White-transparent logos with automatic white bg
I work with logos that are white. And after adding it to dropbox they become all white and don't recognizable first is from window explorer that do not add background to transparent pictures second is inside dropbox Add at least button to change color of that automatically added background (to black, gray and RGB basic colors) Thank you for you're time :>
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.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.
