Excluding folders that contain picture files from being index to Photos
Hi
Is there a way of excluding a folder/folders from being indexed for picture files and then shown in Photos ?
In my case, Dropbox is showing numerous website image files that are stored in my ...
I'm using Dropbox for different purposes, saving pictures I take, keeping backups of my PC, storing work-related stuff etc.
All of these contain images of different kinds, like icons, work-related imagery, illustrations I used in publications or presentations, etc. and at the moment Dropbox just mixes all of those together in the Photos tab (while they are clearly not all photos).
I would really like to be able to select the folders in my Dropbox that actually contain the pictures that I want to be included in the Photos area. In my case that would only be a top-level folder called "Pictures" and my Camera Uploads one, so very easy to select.

That's not possible. The Photos page on the website (and the Photos tab on the mobile apps) simply shows all images located in your account. There's no way to customize what it does or doesn't show.
