Make Dropbox compatible with Linux on ARM processors.
Having Dropbox on Linux distros running on Arm processors would make a huge difference for people who own Raspberry Pis. Pi 5s have much more computing power than my cheep Ubuntu desktop that ran Dropbox ~15 years ago. I am highly considering making my main driver a Linux running on Arm device. If that happens, I'll have to reevaluate my cloud storage solution. I'm not opposed to compiling code from source if need be. But asking for source code (even just for the client side) seems like a harder battle than asking for binaries.
"Recent" Folder in OS Integration
In the Mac and Windows integrations, I would love to have a "Recents" folder that's auto-populated with links/shortcuts to the most recently updated/added items. One use case that I would use all the time: I'm creating an email on my laptop and realize I need to include a photo of something. This usually means going to Camera Uploads and then scrolling to try to find the specific photos (when they're all labeled something obnoxious like photo-yyyymmddhhmmss.jpg by our phones). But if there were a folder that showed the last 20 files altered in our Dropbox account, it would be so much quicker to find the photo I had just taken on my phone.
Add option to remove Dropbox options from context menu
As title mention. It feels like invasive when a program does thing like that in your computer and you have no control over it - I made a cleanup of my context menus and only Dropbox offers no option to remove it. pCloud drive offers it, see picture:
Option to link multiple Dropbox team accounts on the same device
Problem: Our Managing Director manages multiple organizations, each with separate Dropbox Business accounts. Since there’s no option to switch between business accounts easily, he has to repeatedly sign out and sign in to access each account. This is time-consuming, inconvenient, and disrupts workflow—especially during critical moments when quick access to files across both accounts is needed. Proposed Solution: Introduce a business account switching feature similar to the existing personal account switching functionality. This would allow users to connect multiple Dropbox Business accounts and switch between them seamlessly without having to log out and log in each time. Key Benefits: Increased Productivity: No more interruptions from logging in and out multiple times a day. Users can quickly access the files they need from any account. Improved User Experience: A simplified workflow for professionals and business leaders who oversee multiple organizations. Enhanced Collaboration: Easier access to shared resources across accounts, benefiting not only executives but also team members who might work across multiple business entities. This feature would be valuable for executives, consultants, or managers who work with multiple businesses and need streamlined access to their Dropbox accounts for efficient multitasking.Add an option to sync once every ten minutes, instead of immediately when there's a change
Currently, Dropbox seems to be syncing continuously, i.e. as soon as it detects a change it will start to sync it. It would be great if you could set an interval for this. For example, if you'd set that interval to 10 minutes, Dropbox would only sync files to the cloud every 10 minutes. After that specific sync has completed, the interval of 10 minutes will start again (to prevent intervals from overlapping when syncing takes longer than the interval). Having an interval would lower the impact Dropbox has on your system, as it will be 'resting' during the interval period with very low CPU usage (I would assume, at least). Also, having an interval, should lower the chances of locking problems occuring between Dropbox and applications using the files in Dropbox.Allow us to drag and drop the Dropbox thumbnail for screenshots to any app (like macOS does).
Problem Dropbox’s screenshot pop‑up replaces macOS’s floating thumbnail but can’t be dragged into Messages, Slack, Finder, etc., forcing users to hunt for the file. Request Make the Dropbox thumbnail draggable to any app. After the drop, keep auto‑upload and markup intact. Why it matters Faster one‑step sharing, consistent with native macOS behavior, and fewer users disabling Dropbox screenshots.
