When using the Content view in the Admin Console in a team/business plan: The buttons on the right sidebar which include Upload, New folder, and Show deleted files should include the ability to modify the current folder settings and sharing, just as can be done to the folder when looking at it from the parent folder's view. "Move", "Delete", "Manage access", "Download", and "Change sync default" could be made available without having to go back to the parent folder.135Views1like3CommentsWhite-transparent logos with automatic white bg

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 :>27Views0likes1CommentView 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.65Views0likes3CommentsMake long filenames visible by wrapping onto additional lines
Please fix the Dropbox.com file display so that long filenames are visible by wrapping onto additional lines. On the Dropbox web app, long filenames are still truncated instead of wrapped. This is basic user interface behavior that has existed for a very long time. The File Requests section already does this correctly. The "file request name" column wraps long text to two or more lines, which proves the platform can support this. Please bring this behavior to regular file listings such as All Files. A file service should not require guessing, hovering or widening columns just to read a filename. This would be a simple change with a major usability benefit.33Views0likes1CommentA 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? I’m 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 bird’s-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.

It would be a nice feature to have to be able to clip webpages, articles and notes to a designated folder in my dropbox account. Evernote is a good clipping tool, but its storage and recall functions are limited. It would be nice to clip a whole web page, with images, as well as a just the basics, even if it is a text file.137Views0likes1CommentMake markdown file text content searchable on web and mobile app
To my dismay I discovered that text content of markdown (.md / .markdown) files is not searchable through the web / mobile app. Plain-text content of many file formats (.pdf, .txt, etc.) is already searchable so this feels like somewhat of a glaring oversight, seeing as markdown has become ubiquitous in software and tech spaces as a common file format for developer documentation, as well as widely used by note-taking / journaling platforms (Evernote, Obsidian, etc.). Since they are essentially plain-text files, this would be a drop-dead easy feature to implement, as the feature is already built. It would simply involve adding markdown file extensions (.md and .markdown) to the list of plain-text files catalogued by the indexing routine that Dropbox already performs.56Views0likes1Comment
