You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Selecting all starred photos
I need to select all of the photo's that we recently starred. The only way I can see them all together is on my homepage but from there you cannot select multiple photo's and there are no checkboxes...
- Starring a file only makes it appear on your home page for quick access. There's no way to select all or filter on all starred files.
thank you,

Open the App.
Go to the folder with your files, some of which are already "starred".
Select "List View" [this does not work while on "Grid View"].
Tap on Select (top right).
And then Select from your list - manually, one by one - all the files that have the "star" next to their name.
It's not the most straightforward way and Dropbox can definitely improve this functionality, but if your starred files are not in the thousands and/or if you are patient enough, this solution should work.
that is a solution! It is still a fail from dropbox, but no my star-selection wasnt pointless!
Thanks for this suggestion, mri. True, Dropbox need to sort this, but it's good to have a work-around.
Appreciate your help.
Cheers
