Enhance the Photos Tab with Search and Advanced Filters
I'm evaluating Dropbox as the primary archive for my professional photography business, and overall I'm very impressed with the platform. One feature that would significantly improve the experience is adding search capabilities directly within the Photos tab. Currently, I can search filenames and folders from the Files…

Dropbox to allow users to customize the Photos tab based on their needs.
I don't understand how this is not a feature yet + I've seen it be mentioned many times around this forum and the internet. We NEED a way to customize the photos tab. Currently, it's just everything in your Dropbox account!! Having family photos and random pixelated development assets show up next to each other is…

Does Dropbox compress photos and videos when uploading directly from the iOS app?
Hello, I recently started backing up my photos from my iPhone via the Photos App + Dropbox extension, but I noticed that the file sizes changed drastically between what was displayed on the iPhone vs. what showed up on my Dropbox desktop app. Furthermore, I noticed that some of my videos went from 60fps down to 30fps. I…

Avif viewing inside iPhone app

How can I remove items from the Viewed Links section in the Home tab of the mobile app?
Hi and thank you for reading. On my iPhone home screen, there is a section called Viewed Links which has two line items. I would like to delete one of those line items so I never see it again.

Delayed camera upload
It would be very helpful to have an option to delay automatic camera uploads. Right now, photos are uploaded immediately, which means I often have to delete unwanted photos twice – first on my phone and then again in Dropbox. A delay (or temporary queue/“review before upload” option) would make it much easier to sort and…

Two‑factor authentication app
Dear Dropbox Team, I would like to suggest that you create a dedicated two‑factor authentication (2FA) app for both mobile and desktop. What would make your solution different from existing authenticator apps is the ability to store a secure backup of the 2FA secrets directly inside the user’s own Dropbox account. This…

I find it very difficult to export files in the Dropbox app for iOS
On iPhone, Dropbox no longer shows an Export file option for me in the Files tab for [FILENAME] or [FILENAME] files. The only visible Share option pushes link sharing, and the only way I found to send the actual file is a clumsy workaround through Print and then the iOS Share button. If this is an intentional product…

ISSUE: In iOS search results, folder names are no longer displayed below the file names
I am finding it nearly impossible to work with Dropbox on iOS right now.

Is there an option to view only top-level folders on the iPad mobile app?
On my Mac desktop there is an option to view all folders via the left side navigation panel. This does not seem to exist on my iPad. Thus, when I choose "Files" from the navigation at the bottom screen on the iPad, there is no such option. Instead, "Files" shows me EVERYTHING as both folders and files. Is there a way to…

I can't find the file I uploaded to my Dropbox account via Voice Record Pro.
I have used Dropbox for years. Once a week I upload a file from Voice Record. Today when I tried to upload the file, I was prompted through a new logon sequence.

How can I re-upload all of my iPhone photos via camera uploads?
I discovered (when I happened to look in the "Camera uploads" settings) that I can upload Photos in the original format from my iPhone to Dropbox. Unfortunately, that setting had defaulted to "jpg", so all my photos until now have uploaded as jpg. I would like to reupload all my Photos from my iPhone to Dropbox but I can't…
