Add 'deselect all' to Photos section

I see that this idea has been suggested and closed many times.  I have several paid accounts with dropbox including my personal and business accounts.  We really need this simple option that has been around for decades!

When we go to search our product images throughout months, then we cannot deselect.  We will need to close the tab or start unselecting each photo.  There is no option to unselect all or clear selection to start a new batch.

It seems to be so trivial, and every single app has this feature.  But every time it has been proposed by users, it has been closed.

    Hi PouryaShamsi, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Could you clarify what you mean by deselecting images? 

     

    Have you already selected images at one point?

     

    A screenshot showing this and which page you're on would help greatly.

    Hi PouryaShamsi, when you have a chance, could you let me know more information about this matter in order to assist further?

      On the home page, in photos, I have ticked/ selected the photos I need to copy. Having done this task, I need to deselect the ticked photos. How do I carry out this simple task?

        Just click the check box at the top of the file list and all files will be deselected.

    Such a simple ask but Dropbox does not care. Time to change to Google. Just tried it and works so well.
