Easy way to filter starred photos
I have a ton of photos that I've gone through one by one and starred the ones I want to be able to move into a separate folder. I now think that the "starring" exercise was useless. How do I find a...
- 7 years agoHey jv18, thanks for posting us on our Community & sorry to hear that you haven’t been able to move your photos the way you intended to. Let me follow-up with you a bit more closely & we’ll take it from there!(Note: I've moved both threads you've posted on this discussion, so as to keep things neat on our Forum.)As an initial point of reference, please note that starring a file, or folder adds a direct link to it on the Starred widget on the Dropbox Home page (on dropbox.com) & the Home tab (in the Dropbox mobile apps). While you can print them through the Starred items on your Homepage if you select each photo separately, it's my understanding that you'd prefer organizing your content in a folder before printing, is that right?For that reason you may keep in mind that you will not be able to move your files to a different folder directly from your Starred items. Your best option at the moment would be to go back to the original file location >multi-select the files you’d like to move & use the website’s ➡️ ⬜ Move option, so as to get your photos in a new folder, navigate to the ones you’d like to print & use the 🖨️ choice. (Tip: In case you'd like to print your pictures in full resolution, it would be best for you to print them from your desktop- i.e. if you're using our desktop app- or download them locally & then print them.)Other than that, I appreciate the time to share your interest on this functionality with us here. I’ve already made sure to add your voice to the feedback gathered internally for future reference. Your comments are extremely valuable as we're always looking for ways to improve & your posts here help us better understand your needs.I hope that this points you towards the right direction, though please do let me know here in case you’d like more details about any of the above. Thanks & I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

There is no tumbnail in the home starred widget making it very hard to identify pictures. Is there a starred filter that could be used in combination with searches?
