You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Can we have the "Sync Next" option for folders too?
It will make my life so much easier if I could choose what folder should be sync first, or at least have the option to make a file sync next, I dont know why this option disappeared.. Im a photograph...

Dropbox StaffHi all! Hope you’re doing great.
Can you please check the info at the bottom of this Help Center article, and let me know if it helps with what you’d like to achieve exactly?
This does not solve the request. I have large folders already selectively synced, but I want a specific folder to upload before the rest.
For example, yesterday I worked on a video which is uploading now (large files uploading slowly). Today I want to work on a different project which requires me to use a folder full of small pngs, they are in the queue after the large file. I want these pngs to download before the big video uploads, but I don't want to right click on all of the 200+ files and select sync next.
I may have found a hack for now, I've opened all the pngs in preview. It forces Dropbox to download those images first. Folder or multiple file Sync next would be smoother.
