No two people use Dropbox in exactly the same way. Some of you rely on it every day for work, others for school, creative projects, or keeping life organized - and we love that. We’d love to hear how you’re using Dropbox today - is it something you use once in a while, is it part of your day to day, are there any features you can’t live without? What workflows have you built that save time or reduce friction? And where do you see opportunities for us to do better? Your tips, ideas, and honest feedback really help us to make sure we can share useful tips, and they help other community members discover new ways to get more out of Dropbox too.

Hi all, I’m currently trying to improve how I handle client onboarding, specifically, the folder structures we set up in Dropbox. Right now, I’ve been creating folders manually for each new client, with subfolders for contracts, reports, communications, etc. But as the volume increases, it’s becoming really time-consuming and prone to inconsistencies. I’m wondering if anyone has a system, tool, or tip for bulk-creating structured folders efficiently? Ideally something that works with Dropbox. I recently came across a tool called EZFolders that lets you generate folder structures using AI, either by typing a command or uploading a CSV. It also has an AI assistant that helps guide you if you’re not sure how to format things. Seems like it could help, but I’m curious if anyone here has used it or knows more about it before I dive in. Would love to hear what others are doing to save time with this kind of task!398Views1like3CommentsTell us what you think of the mobile search improvements

I have tried Zappier and other automations for exporting folders, subfolders, and even the files names to an excel spreadsheet to create an index or guide, even with the link for an easier access. Can anyone share a way to do such export or copy paste hack?1.3KViews1like4CommentsHow do admins of orgs using Dropbox for Business support end users with syncing issues?
This is a general question for admins in organizations using Dropbox for Business. How do you support users who are having Dropbox syncing issues on Windows endpoints? I have been creating a screen sharing session where I can investigate syncing issues on the endpoint. It seems to me that Dropbox for Business is missing some kind of telemetry from endpoints that gives status on sync health back to the admin console. Something that reported back every 15 mins would be better than flying blind. I would even take a log file saved into the AppData folder that logged sync status when it wasn't "finished". It seems like a reasonable feature.1.7KViews0likes6CommentsRetrieve your content more quickly with our new advanced search operators!
Hi Dropbox community! I'm a product manager at Dropbox working on the search experience on dropbox.com. Paid users already have access to advanced search features like full-text search, OCR (searching for text within images), full-text search, and image search (searching for objects within images). However, this can often return a lot of results leading to a poor experience having to wade through and find exactly what you're looking for. So, we're happy to announce that we're adding a few new operators to help you retrieve your files/folders more quickly: title:(new lead) => See results with only the specific words in title of the file title:"new lead" => See results with exact phrase match in title of the file. Note that quotes only work with title searches and can't be used to match on content type:image => Filter results by a certain types like image, video, document, spreadsheet, etc. type:jpg => Filter results by a certain types like file extension like jpg, png, docx, etc. before:2022-01-01 => Allows you to see all content before a certain date. Uses YYYY-MM-DD format. after:2022-01-01 => Allows you to see all content after a certain date. Uses YYYY-MM-DD format. lead AND new => AND operators will show results that contain both words. lead OR new => OR operators will show results that contain either words. To use these operators, login to Dropbox.com, click on the searchbox at the top, and start typing your query. You can learn more about our operators on our help center article here: https://help.dropbox.com/view-edit/search Note that there are some limitations: - This feature is Web only (for now) - Searches may return inaccurate results for contents of a file, certain images, and Paper docs if you're using the old release of Dropbox Paper. - Quotes will only work on file titles, not matches on content (for now) Try it out and let us know what you think! Thanks for your patience as we ship new features to improve your overall Dropbox experience! Rhut4.5KViews7likes2Comments
