marking the files in dropbox
I would suggest that there should be a red flag when a new unopened document arrives to a folder in dropbox. This will allow a user to go directly to the folders that have new documents and unseen. I also suggest to give the option to mark see or unseen in case it needs to be left for someone else to review Regards Ayman

Dropbox web interface - Copy Link function now changing folder icon to shared?
