Create a file index for a folder
How do I create a file index of Folders in Dropbox so that when I share a folder and its sub-folders? I want to do this to let other people know the contents of a shared folder with sub folders rath...

Thank you for your reply and sorry for the late reply.
The Folders I am sharing often have + 100 files in a Folder structure with various Sub Folders so what I am looking for is an easy way to generate from DropBox or my Mac a contents list that I can share to help people navigate the Folder I have shared with them. The Contents list would look something like
Master Folder
1. Sub Folder
1.1 Sub Folder A
List of files in Sub folder A
1.2 Sub Folder B
List of files in Sub Folder B
2. Sub Folder
List of files if Sub Folder 2
3. Sub Folder
List of files if Sub Folder 3
4. Sub Folder
4.1 Sub Folder C
List of files in Sub folder C
4.2 Sub Folder D
List of files in Sub Folder D
Any thoughts on how this could be generated most welcome as I am bit stumped as to how to do it save for typing the file names one by one.
Thanks
MIke

JokinAU's answer will work for Windows. If you want to do it on a Mac, checkout THIS ARTICLE.
It should do exactly what you are looking for. Now if you want this to be automatic, you will need to setup some kind of script to run that command automatically. I wont have access to a Mac until later tonight, but I could try and setup a simple script for you that will do what you want.
