I'd like to be able to search for my screenshots and remove them from the Photos page.
There is no where for me to perform a search in my "Photo" section and select or edit out screenshots from being populated in my "Photos". Screenshots should be allowed to be chosen or not chosen to be backed up in the "Photos" folder if one wishes.
Please consider some kind of solution to this as it causes unnecessary duplicate files.
I'd appreciate it and thank you.

Thanks for posting here, 2dresq!
From what I understand, you’re referring to the Photos tab of your Dropbox account here, correct?
If yes, please keep in mind that this tab’s general purpose is to show all photos/videos that have been uploaded to your Dropbox account, so that the user can easily access all of their photos no matter the folder/filepath they’re stored in on their account.
To log the correct feedback with our team though, can you please clarify if you’d like the option to search for your screenshots and hide them only from the Photos tab (while not affecting the original files on your Dropbox account) or if you’d like your screenshots to not be uploaded to Dropbox at all?
Let me know when you have more info.
Thank you. That is exactly what I am after. Differentiating screenshots vs photos and the ability to show, hide, search or sort accordingly.
