Color coded files on Dropbox.

Colour Code "Files"

Whilst my files are sorted into many different "Folders"

Being able to colour code files in each folder would be really helpful to me.

    Hey SteveQ1thanks for posting here!

    Just to make sure we're on the same page: are we talking about tagging files and how they could be colored, or about coloring the file names themselves? 

    I'd like to ensure I fully grasp the idea of what you wish to achieve, before proceeding. 😃

    Keep me posted!

    Colour code "Files"
    Thanks for the reply!

    Best way for me, is if the background colour of the file name box could be changed to different, light or pastal colours, so jobs could be colour coded.

    Example: I have Folders for different employees. I can only expect an employee to look at one folder, also I only want to have to look at one folder per employee.
    So having Pressure clean jobs one colour and window cleaning jobs another colour. Maybe window and pressure clean jobs combined have a third colour. Other jobs also have different colours.
    Visually the list of jobs would become instantly more comprehendable and be much more helpful to us.
    As is, we have to read every file name to get what we could get at a glance otherwise.
