You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
The Photos Folder is not a useful tool if we are not able to decide what shows up there. I am using Dropbox to back up a Mac, so photos that are on my Mac are in those backups and also stored in othe...
My family uses my account for photo and video backup, as well as file organization. Unfortunately, random images always appear in the photos tab and my wife refuses to go to the Camera Upload folder to look at photos. Examples of images that we cannot filter in the Photos tab no matter where on Dropbox they are stored: images taken for work, screenshots of random stuff, random downloads, travel itinerary snapshots, photos other people took that we downloaded from text or Messenger, images that contain confidential information, and the list goes on. I would like to be able to move images out of the Camera Uploads folder and into folders that are not allowed to be tagged in the Photos tab. The Photos tab should be only for what we designate to be everyday family photos and contain nothing we wouldn't want to share with other people. Either give us the ability to control what shows up there, or allow us to shut off the tab altogether to reduce the chances of divulging personal or business confidential information, or even displaying random images that could be embarrassing.
I heard this used to be a feature. Well, bring it back! There was no good reason to remove it. If you want our business, then meet our needs. If you don't want our business, then we can, and certainly will, look elsewhere. People have been complaining about this since at least 2018, and you still haven't done anything about it, even though the feature already exists? That is not customer service. That is blatant disregard for customer voice, and quite honestly, a disrespect for our hard-earned money. Setting up a personal server is starting to sound better everyday. The investment would pay itself back in about 2 years at the rate I am paying for Dropbox. If you don't want a mass exodus of personal account users, then start serving our needs.
