    Hello, albufeirasurfsu (and sydnewell)...

     

    If you're logged-in to Dropbox.com and then click-on the "My Files" link (left-hand side)... do you see a "New Folder" link (right-hand side)?

     

    View the screenshot examples below:




     

    Let us know if above helped or not.

     

    Otherwise, please post a screenshot or two so we can see exactly what you're viewing.

    Hey there, which browser are you using? Could you try a different browser, or even running in Incognito or Private Browsing mode?

    Another more basic question, is any file or folder selected on the Dropbox page? If so, you'll only get file actions and not options to create a new folder.

      Hello, albufeirasurfsu...

       

      The screenshot below shows you precisely what Double-AgentJay :sunglasses: is referring to if you have a file/folder selected (checked).  The "New Folder" link is replaced by the file action choices.

      The last suggestion did not help.  I don't have any folders selected and I still am not seeiing the New Folder option.
