315 TopicsView Tags in Column View
My suggestion is that tags be viewable in column view. Tags would be more useful if they could be viewed and a folder able to be sorted 'by tag'. Seeing a folder of files and not knowing which files are tagged until you select the individual file or search the folder makes the use of tags limited. My suggestion is to expand this feature so that files can be assigned and viewable to users in list mode.3.6KViews21likes7Comments
Exclude Photos and folders from The PHOTO Tab
Hi Dbox, this is really annoying that ALL pictures goes to the Photo Tab. I want to select what goes there. For example I diont want to have thousands of Work pictures in the Photo tabs. I want the photo Tab to be for my personnal photos only. Keep in mind this Photo tab is also acessible on my phone. so why should i carry non personnal photos? Today it seem impossible: all the pictures are just added to that PHOTO tab, from whatever folder. Thanks a lot Louis H3.7KViews10likes9Comments

TERRIBLE SUPPORT SERVICE
I am extremely angry withthe unbelievably bad service from Dropbox. The Support Team in Australia as NO WAY OF CONTACTING their own Restorations Specialists team in the US. Having opened a ticket 4 days ago, I have not had my issued solved, I have emailed the US consultant repeatedly for an update (he told me it would take an hour to restore my lost job folders,3 days ago), I have called the Support team repeatedly for a status report but they have told me they have no internal communication with the other department. HOW CAN THIS BE POSSIBLE? I ampayingtop dollar for Dropbox Business for the assuranceof seemless business operation but yet no one can tell me what is happening, I am not receiving replies to my emails, and nobody by phone can give me an update. I cannot work without my files. I wrongly believed that storing them in Dropbox alonethey would be secure. Does anyone know how I can reach I higher level of management to speak to someone who can help?Solved7.3KViews8likes31CommentsBlank Screen Sharing Link

How do YOU access Dropbox?
Hi Dropbox community - I'm a design researcher here at Dropbox. I'm curious about how you access Dropbox! How do you access Dropbox: the website,the desktop app (for mac/windows), and/or the mobile app (iOS, android)? For those you use, why do you use them? For those you don't, why not? Is there anything you wish you could do on one that you can't today? Why?9.5KViews6likes11Comments
Intolerable slow speed moving files
https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/202007985-CPU-usage-making-version-3-intolerable?input_string=Intolerable Basically have the same issue. Very frustrated. I tried to move/delete a single picture from camera upload folder to another folder to organize my pictures, but every time I have to wait about 10 seconds or longer for ONE copy & paste action. I am grateful that I can auto upload all my pictures & videos from my iPhone to the cloud but Dropbox makes it impossible for me to organize them. Now I have tons of pictures & videos that i could impossibly move them out of the camera upload folder. Dropbox discontinued support to 10.5.8 (which was a HUGE inconvenience) where I had dropbox worked perfectly fine for me. Since I was unable to upgrade to newer version on my old iMac and I do find the needs anyway to upgrade my computing power, I decided to purchase a new macbookpro running 10.10.2 w/ i7. Sadly, Dropbox has failed me by using so much of CPU power which makes it impossible for me to move ONE single file from camera upload folder to another. I am not sure if any other user runs into this same problem but this will be my last year of $99 subscription as there are many other competitors out there. Are we in stone age? I mean WINDOWS 98 can perform a copy & paste function better than DROPBOX. Very Frustrated. I have tons of files & videos that will forever pile up in my camera upload folder.7.7KViews6likes8Comments
Starred folders missing from quick menu
Hello, I used to see a "Starred" folder menu option on the left hand side of my screen when using Dropbox in Chrome. I now only see the following options: SignaturesNew Shared File requests Deleted files How do I get the Starred folder/file option back here? It is extremely useful as I am a business user and there are hundreds of files and folders in my Dropbox. Thank youSolved4.5KViews5likes14Comments
