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.
The Photos Folder is not a useful tool if we are not able to decide what shows up there. I am using Dropbox to back up a Mac, so photos that are on my Mac are in those backups and also stored in othe...
I'm a software developer, and I use Obsidian to track my development notes and daily productivity. I recently switched from Google Drive to Dropbox because of the amazing support for raw embeds, so I can directly embed my Dropbox images and videos into Obsidian to save space.
But of course, every cloud service seems to have their downfall. Google Drive wont allow raw embeds, and now Dropbox has absolutely no sense of a good photo viewer. It is IMPOSSIBLE to go through my personal photos using the photos tab, because as a developer I also have many software projects synced to my Dropbox, which ends up in random software images showing on the Images tab — sometimes even thousands of them. If I had the option to simply choose which folder to show on the images tab, I could easily only show my Camera Roll folder.
This is quite frustrating, and is the only big issue I have with Dropbox right now. What's the point of paying for 2 TB of storage if I can't even put my own personal pictures in the same place as my other documents? At least Google managed to do it with Google Photos, which uses the storage you're already paying for and has beautiful photo management.
I'd really appreciate a feature to only show one folder exclusively in the Photos tab, or to hide certain photos, and I think many others would appreciate it too.
