How can I print an index of files contained within a dropbox folder for record purposes
I use dropbox regularly for business purposes and regularly need to distribute specific information to multiple contacts via individual dropbox folders. As a business we are required to keep records...
In case no one has figured this out here’s how you do it. It's not necessarily pretty but it gives the data you need.
First you have to have Drop Box as an accessible folder in File Explorer. If you’re only accessing from the browser this method will not work. Once you have Drop Box in your File Explorer list, then you can print the directory and its contents from the CMD prompt.
In the “Type here to search” box on your Windows 10 (the Task bar area) type in cmd. Select Command Prompt.
Type in the following command where [username] is your username. (Don’t know your username? Go to file explorer, This PC, Windows, Users, and locate your folder. There should be one for you and all users on your system + a Public folder.)
tree “c:\directory_name” > “c:\file_name.txt” /A /F
Directory name is the full path name to your drop box directory.
Example:
C:\>tree "C:\Users\myname\ Dropbox\MyDropbox" > "C:\Users\ myname\Desktop\details.txt" /A /F
This will place the directory listing on your desktop. You can copy and paste the contents to Excel if that's what you need.
Hope this helps!
This is my first post in this forum and I didn't realize it would translate my "colon backslash" into a frowny face automatically. Wherever you see the frowny face replace that with the colon symbol and the backslash symbol, no spaces. Sorry about that.
