31 TopicsPersistent Indicator for Files with Unresolved Comments
Currently, Dropbox shows a comment notification only when a comment is new or unread. Once the comment is read, the indicator disappears even if the comment is not resolved. This makes it hard to see which files still require attention. I would like Dropbox to introduce a persistent visual indicator (badge, icon, number, highlight, or any small marker) that appears whenever a file has unresolved comments, regardless of whether they have been read already. Why this matters: Teams use comments for review and approvals. After reading a comment, there is no quick way to see that the file still needs action. Users must open each file and check the comments panel to find unresolved comments. This leads to missed feedback and slower collaboration. How it could work: Show a small badge next to the file name in the file list when unresolved comments exist. In the file preview, show a subtle âunresolved commentsâ indicator even if all comments are read. User impact: This would help teams working with shared documents by making outstanding work visible at a glance, reducing mistakes and speeding up reviews.132Views1like2CommentsHide 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.304Views14likes8CommentsDropbox 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 there124Views4likes2CommentsHide the photo
1-Hide Selected Files in a Shared Folder. We need an option to hide specific photos or files so they do not appear in the drop box gallery view. 2-Preview Photos Inside ZIP Files When sharing a ZIP file, Dropbox requires users to open each file individually. It would be invaluable if photos inside a ZIP could be displayed directly on the main page, just like a normal shared folder. 3-Show a Thumbnail Under Shared Links (Optional) When sharing a link, please allow an optional preview image (for example, the first photo in the folder) to appear under the link, similar to pCloud. Thank you so much85Views2likes1CommentCustom playback order for music files in a folder, or a player plug in.
As a music producer, after finishing produced mixes, the mix versions are moved to a Dropbox folder to listen to them. It would be great to be able to listen to them in a custom order without having to rename each file with numbers and then sort them by name. For an album, it would be great to order the songs on the fly to see which order sounds best. A great option would be a player in the style of VOX inside dropbox additionally with a level adjustment option for each audio file or mp3.84Views0likes2CommentsDisplay 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.90Views0likes2CommentsLive stream capability from Dropbox
I have been doing more video lately. Facebook and Youtube are ok but DropBox has been convenient to share recorded video. Now my idea is this, to be able to share a pre-determined easy to use link, that a live stream event could be viewed. I understand the copyright issues; a live event you never know what music will be used or heard. SO, what can we do about it??? There is an app called MixCloud that is used for podcasts (live or pre-recorded) that does identify music and pays the pennies to copyright holders, so Facebook does not "flag" a production, something a little guy like me cannot do. However, Mixcloud will not do the live video copyright payments although I have suggested this to them! DropBox would be so popular with the video community if the live streaming could be done through your application but, the icing on the old chocolate cake would be the copyright ID and payment!93Views0likes2Comments
