Automatic logout
I think it would be great and very secure if dropbox logged out automatically after a period of time - decided by the owner of the account (for example after 1, 2 or x minutes) - when no actions have been made on it. This would prevent other user from using the account if the owner unadvertedly got away from the pc and left his account open. Thank you
Centralized Tag Directory
In addition to having folders and files within dropbox having some kind of icon indicating they have tags associated with them, another key feature would be to have a centralized tag directory or "pool" that could allow users to not only view all active or inactive tag, but also delete and add en masse tags to files and/or folders as well. The line of work I deal with as a Global Asset Coordinator is that I am building out and organizing our assets in various ways and levels. Automation tools have been a help, but to truly achieve maximum efficiency and ease of use for all of our users and employees, making the above a reality will be a huge win and game changer for many. Finally with that, having a dedicated search to tags would be a tremendous step forward as well to go with the tag directory.
Turn Auto Play off for audio Files
Please add a way to stop audio files from playing instantly, as soon as you open them. On the Dropbox app, using an iPhone, the minute you open the file it starts playing. If you have previously played that audio file and paused it half way through, you can't stop it from playing in time to take it back to the start. We use Dropbox for our choir and keep our backing tracks and sheet music together. During a performance we need to make sure all the files have been returned to the start and we can't have them ready to go to press play.
AI Assistant to understand contents and organize Dropbox files
I’m a personal plan user and would like to request an AI assistant that can actively organize my Dropbox, not just search it. What I’m looking for is a chat-based AI that can understand the contents of my files and folders and: - Execute direct instructions (e.g. “Rename these files using this pattern”) - Propose organization actions and apply them after confirmation Examples of actions: - Renaming files based on their content and a given naming pattern - Moving and grouping related files into appropriate folders - Identifying duplicates, similar, or outdated files and deleting or archiving them Dropbox Dash is a great step for discovery, but I’m looking for AI that can turn intent (“this belongs with that”) into actual file operations inside Dropbox.Custom Version Numbers/strings
It'd be great to edit version numbers/strings so the dropdown contains custom text. In many naming conventions, versions aren't always whole numbers, and aren't always sequential. If version 3 was just internal and never uploaded, for example, it'd be lovely to have the version numbers sync up with external filenames in Replay, so you could skip version 3 and have versions jump from 2-4. Or if auditioning music for a video, the versions could be called something like "ambient" "acoustic" "energetic" etc ... but still switchable from a simple dropdown menu.Quicken shortcut to automatically pause Dropbox, then exit the app.
Quicken doesn't like to share files, so I have to remember to pause dropbox before using it. I'd like to create a quicken shortcut that automatically pauses dropbox then continues when I exit. Is there some kind of switch or batch file I could use to accomplish this.
