How to order folders and file so it is either alphabetical or chronological

Hi-

I hope this gets me some free storage space. Here's my topic for discussion/question. I've come up with a naming (alphabetically) system to keep my files and folders in order. It worked well, but recently I found that dropbox reserved the order. EG. A-Z went to Z-A. How do I reverse the order so it goes back to the A-Z order that it was in ?

Hi @Caraspearls, sorry to jump in here and thanks for clarifying that for us.

To reverse the alphabetical order on the website, you can click on the arrow next to the 'Name' column/banner when navigating your files.

For more information on sorting your files on the website, you can have a look here as well.

I hope this helps!

Hi @Caraspearls, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Are you using the Dropbox site or the mobile app?

This will help me to assist further!

Hi,

I am using the dropbox site via my computer.

I am wondering how I can switch from ascending order to descending order and vice versa.

I accidentally seemed to have joined the community with a new member name (which I won't remember). How do I delete the new community member name (Carina7)?

Walter (Dropbox Staff),

I just asked:

I accidentally seemed to have joined the community with a new member name (which I won't remember). How do I delete the new community member name (Carina7)? I just want to keep one community name, the same as the name I sign into to get into dropbox (username), one is enough for me!

Glad to hear that anonymous - thanks for keeping me in the loop too.

As for the different profile on our Community, it looks like you used another email address to log in and reply to this thread than the one you had originally used.

In that case, you'll just need to log out of the current account and then log in with the correct one.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes I did use another email address.
I do not want to be a member of the dropbox community via that email address.

In that case, how do I delete @Carina7?

Walter

Your Community profile is linked with your Dropbox account and the email address you used for it anonymous

If you'd like to delete your profile from the Community, you can click on your avatar (profile picture) and then click on "My settings".

From there, you can choose the 'Close Account' option under the Personal tab.

I hope this helps and let us know if you have any other questions!

Thank you for you help!

Take care and see you around the Community!
