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.

Allow hiding individual photos of folders from the Photos tab

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 other folders on Dropbox. Therefore, in the Photos Folder there are duplicate copies of each of those photos. I cannot delete either as they are on Dropbox for different purposes - one as a backup and one as part of my photo organization system in Dropbox. Without the ability to hide photos from my Photos Folder, I will need to find another way to organize my photos.

    Hi again, PhotosGal, and sorry for the nudge. 

     

    Did you check my previous post, by any chance?

    Thanks for posting your idea here, PhotosGal!

     

    I'd only like a clarification; you mention in the title that you’d like to hide individual photos or folders from the Photos tab. Can you please clarify what you mean by folders? 

     

    In general, the Photos tab displays photos/videos that are saved on your Dropbox account, so there won’t be any folders showing there.

     

    Let me know.
