Can I hide a folder of photos from the Photos tab?
Hello all,
I have quite a lot of photos and other image files in my Dropbox. It is very nice to view everything via the photo option. But I have a folder that I want to exclude from being visible in this option. Is it possible to set it all up to exclude certain folders from being visible in the photo folder option?
OS X does have a sophisticated framework for task scheduling, but it's well hidden and not at all intuitive. Several third-party apps exist which aim to bridge that usability gap.
At a simpler level, which may suit your purpose, it's quite straightforward to wake and sleep a Mac to a preset schedule.
Open System Preferences, choose Energy Saver and click Schedule... Startup or wake your Mac at a set time on a specific day of the week, just weekends, weekdays, or everyday. The second tick box allows you to apply the same choices to when you want your Mac to sleep, restart, or shutdown. Note: if you have a MacBook this will only work if it’s plugged into a power outlet.

Hi MG S., and thanks for posting on our forum!
At the moment, this isn’t possible, I’m afraid. Any photo/video you’ve saved on your Dropbox account will appear under the Photos tab.
However, since there’s already an idea about this, feel free to vote for it here.
Let me know if you need something else, though.
