My photos are not importing to Dropbox in order. There is no way to sort them by date created.
I am not storing photos on my computer so I'm only using your website to upload photos from my phone. I imported over 6000 photos last night and they are completely random, no order whatsoever! I want to see them in order of date created, oldest first.
I have the same issue with 40,000 photos since Picasa was made defunct by Google.
Date Modified doesn't cut it and it uses the upload date to sort. . If a Date Created could be applied as a filter I would be delighted. I have photos going back a long time. If I upload them I am in a random space that is painful to navigate. Dropbox, if you can provide this facility it would be fabulous.

Hey Cathy22 and CharlesDub44!
To clarify, you’re both uploading your photos to the Dropbox website manually by clicking on the “Upload or drop” button, correct?
You’re not using camera uploads by any chance, right?
Let me know.
Yes, I manually upload to Dropbox and have been doing so for years. Up to a few years ago I used Picasa as a viewer and management tool. If Dropbox had a filter that allowed me to sort by "Create Date" I would be very happy. At the moment trying to navigate photos is a nightmare on Dropbox.
