Dropbox Product ManagerHi Antony P.3, thanks for sharing your feedback.
1 - You can customize the mobile home screen to view Offline files/folders on the Home page. Just click on the customize icon (artist palette) on the upper right of your mobile screen in the Dropbox app and you can enable an option to view 'Offline' content. You can also re-arrange the folders based on your priority order. Please check out this document.
2 - We also provide an option to sort by name or modified on each folder. You can navigate to the folder and click on the 'Name' dropdown to sort folder contents by name or change it to 'Sort by modified'.
3 - I'll discuss this recommended feature with my team.
1. I'm really sorry, but I can't find the customise icon anywhere within my Dropbox Android app.
2. This is a two-click, not a single-click solution (and anyway the folders should remember their views).
3. Thank you.

Hi Haluk K.! What you can do instead, so that no one can access your Dropbox account, is to set a unique passcode when opening the app, that you’ll only know. Here are the steps on how to configure this.
Antony P.3, the customize/palette icon should be visible at your Home tab (not the Files tab) and at the top right corner.
Hope this helps!
- Hi Nancy,
Yes, the palette icon has now appeared in a new update. However, now the spacing is different between folders – is there a way to customize (reduce) that, so that more fits on the screen?- Megan
Hey Philip Kapadia, welcome to our Community!
Can you clarify the OS and Dropbox app version you're using on your end, and also let me know if you're talking about camera uploads, or manually uploading files by clicking the + icon?
Feel free to send me a screenshot too, if you have one available.
Also Antony P.3, I do not believe that's possible, but give me some time to check internally about this, and I'll get back to you.
