Please help with changing the new view of Dropbox on the desktop
Please change the way this view is in the pic attached. Two-thirds of the screen is wasted and valuable real estate is wasted by these buttons. How do you turn off or remove the following Search box, all 4 buttons (create, upload, create folder, transfer or copy) and "suggested" all of these take away space. I just want to…

There's no "View on www.dropbox.com" option in the context menu, when the Dropbox app is paused.
I noticed that the options available when right clicking on a file in Explorer change when sync is paused. In particular it is no longer possible to "View on dropbox.com". This would be useful to me because I sometimes pause sync to keep my laptop running reasonably when my work colleagues update a load of files at once…

Where can I locate the File Request option when visiting my account online?
I'm looking to share a folder with clients so they have a folder to upload files for me. I'm constantly using "Share Folder" as that's what it feels like I'm doing, but instead I should do File Requests, as the clients don't need to see any other clients' file submissions. Anyway, I can't get started on this, as the…

I'd like to be able to search for files on the Deleted Files page.
I see people have been ranting about this one for years, and I guess now I'm joining that parade. What's the point of file deletion recovery if you can't find the files you're trying to recover? There's no search bar. They expect users to scroll through thousands of files in linear order of deletion to find the needle in…

Shared Link Previews / Redirects Fail When Using Dynamic Link Aggregator Pages
Hi everyone, I’ve run into a problem related to how Dropbox handles preview metadata (title, image, etc.) and redirects when links are shared via pages that act as link aggregators (they collect group / invite links and redirect). For example, I have a page: indian Girls Group When a user shares a WhatsApp invite link from…

Select audio track for MKV file in Dropbox App
I love Dropbox’s video preview - super helpful for watching MKV files without downloading them! Whereas previewing an MKV file in the web browser version of Dropbox has an Audio Track selection option (if your MKV file has multiple audio tracks, e.g. English audio, Japanese audio), the Dropbox App for iOS does not have…

Why don't you let us search by file size on Dropbox Web?
Hi, when I want to find the largest files in my dropbox account, the official method according to these boards is that I need to go through the filesystem (Windows Explorer or Mac Finder) and do a filesystem search. However this doesn't work for smart sync files. Please add an option to sort by size or filter by size on…

Export screen keeps getting stuck
Suddenly I can no longer Export my DropBox files to any format: Markdown, PDF, etc. Every time I try to export, I keep getting stuck on the screen with the little wizard that says "Waiting to start..." but my file never actually exports. I've had this issue for about a week now, and other coworkers on my team have as well.

I use dropbox exclusively for a dnd campaign, as its the only way to upload any audio files I make for dndbeyond.

I can't move my shared folder under "All files"
Hello! I'm OCD and decided to create a folder specifically for a client's projects. The problem is we use AutoCAD and XREF linking, which breaks the link/xref everytime a different team member opens the file, because we have a different file path. I've tried many times to move the folder back into the main DropBox "All…

Editing a PDF form on the Dropbox website shrinks field length as you zoom in
I have an issue with a PDF form (that I didn't create) that allows you to enter text to fill the visible space but if you zoom in, that length reduces until at say 400% it will only allow 4 characters but a full name at 100%. It works fine in Adobe Reader allowing the same amount of characters regardless of zoom, typing…

Delete docs in signatures
This idea included below was discarded by your team for lack of activity. However, I did see that my idea received 2 positive votes by other customers. I can certainly understand shelving the idea because you have bigger fish to fry. But to discard it outright makes no sense to me. This is not an idea so much as it is an…

Can we search by file name on the Dropbox website, and not by content?
I had to remove Dropbox from my PC as I ran out of space. I am now stuck only using it online via a browser. I have yet to find a way to search by file name and not content - and I've found nothing recent online that tells me how to do it. I've even just read the information about Dash and it doesn't seem to do it either.…

Why is Dropbox Vault getting deprecated?
There are so many reasons to continue Vault but a key one is that the Dropbox folder on a PC (and a Mac?) is not protected by Windows or iOs in any normal way. Vault made protection possible for key files. But of course being able to protect the entire Dropbox folder on a PC or Mac would be an even better idea!
