Need to see if your shared folder is taking up space on your dropbox 👨💻? Find out how to check here.
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.
Make 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.
Clip webpages and notes to Dropbox
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.Make 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.
Download all comments from a folder into a .csv file.
We need a way to download all the comments in a folder as a .csv. For instance, I have over 100 images, each with a comment from the client on it. It is neither helpful nor time saving for me to download a text file one by one. Bonus points if we could also have the images embedded as thumbnails.
