SELECTING MULTIPLE STARRED FILES
Hi, Can anyone help with a shortcut to selecting multiple starred files?
I have over 300 starred photo files I'm trying to download.
There's got to be a better way than clicking all those fil...
Hi porchbaby, and welcome aboard the Community!
What you can do is go to your Photos page on www.dropbox.com and then, click on the Starred column there; all of your starred photos should appear.
If you have many images for each year, you can also select the “Year” option from the menu, and click on the small checkboxes above each year’s photos. That should select all of them and you can then, download them in bulk.
I hope that makes sense, but I’m here if you need to ask me something.
Hi Nancy,
coming back with this solution a few months later because that works bit only for me ... I do not see all the starred files ... as there was a missing identification / refresh.
Do you know any way to "re-index" all the starred files?
Many thanks for your attention,
Maxime
Hi everyone,
I have all my photos on Dropbox, folders sorted per year, then months.
The best have been "starred".
I'd like to download all the best photos from a specific year, or month. However, it seems that from the "Photos" menu I do not get all the starred ones, but just a part of them.
It appears from all the browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) under Windows.
From the mobile app, all the starred files are correctly displayed ...
Since the last new features/Dropbox layout, we have 2 new buttons on each folders: recent/starred. That would have helped me, however, it seems old starred files are not identified ...
Do you get the same behavior?
Were you able to solve it?
Many thanks in advance,
Maxime
