Documents aren't sorted correctly in Paper
Sad to say that there are numerous bugs in a once wonderful Paper, but perhaps the most annoying one is files no longer sorted based on when they were last open. I now get random files from years ago showing up in the list when I log in to the app or web, and have to search every time to find the most recent file I updated. It's extremely frustrating, and clear that the app is falling apart at an alarming rate.
File date changing
Hi I have seen a number of posts about DropBox changing file dates to "date modified" which appears to be the date the file was uploaded to DropBox. This is weird because if you are just uploading and downloading files from one computer to another you want the original date to be retained. The date of the uploading is mostly irrelevant. For searching based on date the file was created/last edited is what I need to maintain my records by date created/edited. This happens when I use the app of the web and add files to a DropBox folder the date it was added is saved as the modified date. It gets stranger because when I download to another computer I can restore the original file date if SmartSync is on and set to local but this worked for Excel files but not for PDFs! BTW I am using Windows 10 on both computers. I could not work out behaviour from previous posts. thanks for any helpThe starred items on my Android mobile app appear in a random order.
Any idea why the starred items on my app homepage, which always previously displayed by most recently modified, are now in completely random order...? Even when I click to view all they're just all over the place, no rhyme or reason for the sorting. :/ I've restarted the app and cleared the cache several times.

Generating hierarchical folder structure overview in Dropbox
Hello Dropbox Community, We are looking for a way to generate an overarching view of our folder structure in Dropbox. Specifically, we need an overview that shows how the folders are organized hierarchically. For example, the "Testing" folder contains several subfolders, each of which may have additional nested subfolders, and so on. Our goal is to obtain a report that illustrates how these folder structures are configured, without accessing or revealing the contents of the files themselves. Has anyone found a way to generate such an overview within Dropbox? If so, we would appreciate any guidance or suggestions on how to achieve this. Thanks in advance for your help!
Sort and filter photos with face recognition
Add face recognition functionality to features so you can find, sort, filter photographs. After saving photos over a period of years, you accumulate thousands of photographs. Then, finding and filter for photographs or portraits of an individual person or thing (e.g., car) can be extremely arduous if not next to impossible. Many software platforms have this functionality. Please add this.
