How to order folders and file so it is either alphabetical or chronological
Hi-
I hope this gets me some free storage space. Here's my topic for discussion/question. I've come up with a naming (alphabetically) system to keep my files and folders in order. It worked well, but recently I found that dropbox reserved the order. EG. A-Z went to Z-A. How do I reverse the order so it goes back to the A-Z order that it was in ?
Hi Caraspearls, sorry to jump in here and thanks for clarifying that for us.
To reverse the alphabetical order on the website, you can click on the arrow next to the 'Name' column/banner when navigating your files.
For more information on sorting your files on the website, you can have a look here as well.
I hope this helps!

Hi Caraspearls, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Are you using the Dropbox site or the mobile app?

Hi,
I am using the dropbox site via my computer.
I am wondering how I can switch from ascending order to descending order and vice versa.
