My suggestion is that tags be viewable in column view. Tags would be more useful if they could be viewed and a folder able to be sorted 'by tag'. Seeing a folder of files and not knowing which files are tagged until you select the individual file or search the folder makes the use of tags limited. My suggestion is to expand this feature so that files can be assigned and viewable to users in list mode.4.1KViews23likes7CommentsAllow us to hide certain folders from the Photos tab.
Sería muy útil contar con la opción de seleccionar qué directorios incluir o excluir en el apartado "Fotos". Muchas veces almacenamos imágenes o capturas de pantalla en carpetas específicas, y estas terminan mezclándose con nuestras fotos principales, generando desorden visual. Poder limitar la visualización únicamente a los directorios que realmente contienen fotos ayudaría a mantener una experiencia más organizada y enfocada. ------------------------ It would be very helpful to have the option to select which directories to include or exclude in the "Photos" section. We often store images or screenshots in specific folders, and these end up mixed in with our main photos, creating visual clutter. Being able to limit the display to only the directories that actually contain photos would help maintain a more organized and focused experience.

I want to move all my photos/files from dropbox to an external hard drive, remove them from my dropbox without delete any photos by mistake or anything. This is to organize my photos and files properly, so I can use my dropbox as a temporarily back up for my more recent photos which is why I wanted to use dropbox as in the first place! There are several photos on my dropbox that doesn't show in my dropbox-app for my pc but I have a lot of old pictures there and I don't want to delete them, only remove them from dropbox and keep them on my computer. I have approximately 231 recent photos(on my phone) that I can't save on my dropbox because I don't have enough space. But I don't want to upgrade since I don't really need that much space. I just want to transfer them to an external hard drive via my computer. I'm not good in English, but I hope someone understand what I want to do and can help me!Solved110KViews15likes69CommentsFolder Customization - Colors, Icons, and More
Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could customize our Dropbox folders to make them more visually appealing and easier to organize? I think adding more options to personalize folders could make a big difference, and I’d love to hear what others think about this idea! Here are a few features I’d suggest: Folder Colors: Imagine being able to color-code your folders—so much easier to spot what you need at a glance! Custom Icons: A simple icon, like a music note for your playlists or a book for your eBooks, could make folders feel more intuitive. This icon could be applied to the already existing folder image, or replace the folder with just an icon. Upload Your Own Images: Personalize your workspace with photos or unique images as folder covers—practical and fun! These tweaks wouldn’t just look great; they’d make organizing and navigating files so much smoother. Plus, other platforms already offer similar options, and it would be awesome to see Dropbox join in! If you think these features would be helpful, let’s make some noise and get Dropbox to consider them. What are your thoughts? Do you have other ideas for folder customization? Let’s chat in the comments and show the Dropbox team how much we’d love this!954Views14likes7CommentsFull File/Folder Name Display On Website & Mobile Apps
I use Dropbox on an iPad in landscape orientation. I would like the left panel to expand out so I can see the full file names. Truncated names are very annoying. At least let the name wrap. Seeing ... in the name is so annoying. Google Drive does it, why not you?9.3KViews14likes9CommentsCamera upload from different phones into different folders
Hello, I have created a new folder "Camera upload Karla" where I want my wifes iPhone to automatically upload photos to. This seems not to be so easy, as Dropbox on a phone will only upload to "Camera Upload" folder. Is this correct? How can I make her iPhone upload automatically to the new folder? Thank you37KViews11likes62CommentsExclude Photos and folders from The PHOTO Tab
Hi Dbox, this is really annoying that ALL pictures goes to the Photo Tab. I want to select what goes there. For example I diont want to have thousands of Work pictures in the Photo tabs. I want the photo Tab to be for my personnal photos only. Keep in mind this Photo tab is also acessible on my phone. so why should i carry non personnal photos? Today it seem impossible: all the pictures are just added to that PHOTO tab, from whatever folder. Thanks a lot Louis H4.4KViews11likes9Comments
