How can I print an index of files contained within a dropbox folder for record purposes
I use dropbox regularly for business purposes and regularly need to distribute specific information to multiple contacts via individual dropbox folders. As a business we are required to keep records...
- 6 years agoHey there, ClaxtonJ.At first, since this isn’t currently available through the website, I’d recommend checking this thread out which may be helpful in what you’re trying to achieve.Furthermore, if you’re on a Dropbox Business team and you are an admin, you have the capability to find info about how your team is using Dropbox, such as active members, storage, links created, active shared folders, and active devices, through the activity log.Nonetheless, I’d be more than happy to pass your comments along to the dev team for more future consideration.Cheers!

Have you tried printing the Dropbox index from Windows Explorer view of the Dropbox folder rather than directly from Dropbox website? If not, consider this:
- Open Windows Explorer and select the source Dropbox folder in the left pane.
- Press Ctrl + A to select all items in the right pane.
- Press and hold the Shift key, then right click on the selection.
- From the context menu, choose "Copy as Path".
- Paste the list into Excel.
If you have multiple files in multiple folders you can extract all the files by searching the parent folder in Windows Explorer using the search term *.* and then use the above technique. Neither is ideal which is why I built my own tool to index files and this then parses out the filename, creates a hyperlink to the file and tabluates some of the associated file metadata too. My tool also allows excludes some of the eronious file types (such as temporary files and thumb indexes).
