You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

908 TopicsRecursive automated tagging
Auto tagging files in a given folder, for both new and existing files works well, but only in that one folder. And files in sub folders are not tagged automatically, and needs a manual process to add the tag automation to any subfolders. In addition, if we duplicate a folder, the automation settings are not retained, so need setting up again from scratch. We would love to be able to have these ideas incorporated - Dropbox add functionality to “apply to existing subfolders” and “apply to newly created subfolders” (or even BOTH) - Dropbox allow copied folders to retain automation from template structure, i.e. if we set automation rules up on a folder, and it's subfolders, if we duplicate that folder, the automation rules be retained on the new duplicated folders. Basically saves us having to add automation to every single sub folder for a given structure. - Dropbox adapt the functionality to actually ADD the metatag TO the file itself rather than ONLY within the dropbox database.1.6KViews2likes6CommentsOn iPad, adjust column widths, or allow line wrap, to show full filenames
Is it possible to prevent long filenames being shortened from the end? My filenames need to have the whole name displayed, rather than having the end characters chopped off. These "end" characters identify the various versions of the same file. Many thanks, JohnF3KViews25likes10CommentsOptions to change the file/folder icon in the Dropbox app
Hello, PLEASE please allow me to change the files icons to be relevant! I want easily to sort my files but with these blank blue file icons it’s makes organising files not enjoyable. I work with physical stuff, laser cutting, painting, hand crafts, CAD software, sculpting and a bunch of other things that are non computer based. Having icons or images that are relevant to me when scanning through files would not just speed up but give a sense of personalisation and organisation which helps my process when organising vastly different topics in the organisation stage. Thumbnails for files basically…… thanks!777Views3likes7CommentsOrganizing Starred Folders
I would like to be able to alphabetize my starred folders. Our company uses drop box for all of our hundreds of projects. As a project manager I utilize the star feature to quickly access the projects I am working on. There is no way to alphabetize these folders once starred so it is becoming difficult to navigate through the list.21KViews17likes7Comments- 40KViews148likes81Comments
Allow automated folders to be duplicated with the automation in the duplicates
Would it be possible to duplicate folders with automation in them, aside from performing them manually? Would love to create an "automation" that can easily be added to new folders created, or simply copy over when duplicating an existing folder.27Views0likes2CommentsMP4 files won't play. ".mp4 files are supported but something went wrong."
Hello, I've searched for the problem with an MP4 file not playing, and I found a forum with what I hoped would have a solution. The Mod had responded multiple times within a thread to different replies, I've tried all the solutions that were offered, by using incognito, different browser, clearing cache, not using third party, but it seems that the biggest solution people had were when the mod had sent out a ticket for this problem to be taken care of. Thus I would love to request if one of the Mod's may send me out a ticket for this issue to be resolved.Solved5KViews0likes11CommentsGive us the option to export/download comments
It would be extremely helpful to have the ability to download a PDF (or image, or other file types) with comments included. Alternatively, could there be a way save out just the comments as it's own downloadable format? If a file is changed, the comments disappear into the ether. This would help streamline our workflow and help keep track of changes/comments/conversations. Currently we screenshot every page with comments to keep track of edits.
