Prevent images in a folder from appearing on the Photos tab

Is there a way to exclude a folder from being index to Photos?

    Hey Pierre P.1, thanks for checking in with us on this inquiry!  
     
    You may keep in mind that this isn’t currently an available feature within Dropbox, as your Photos view (online & on your phone) is automatically updated with all the pictures stored on your account. I do appreciate your interest though & I’ve made sure to pass your comments along to the development team for future consideration. 
     
    I’ve also had a look & I could see that you’ve also posted your request on the Share an Idea section of the Forum, so rest assured that if there’s an update, you’ll be notified there. :wink:
     
    Thanks again for posting us on the Dropbox Community  & I’m wishing you a creative & fruitful rest of your day!

      This used to be a feature on the Photos page before they removed it, along with just about every other photo feature that we had. Dropbox clearly has little interest in photos now. They continue to remove features and then spin things as though it's better now, when in reality the Photos page is all but useless now.

      Dropbox is no longer the tool for photo management that it once was.

      Jane,

       

      This is a HUGE HUGE request for me too. I really miss this feature. I've been a paid subscriber of Dropbox for years. 

      If you could request this from me the team, I would SUPER appreciate this. 

       

      Kindest Regards
