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.

Compressing the size or adjusting the dimensions of a file automatically
I see many new features we can use or schedule, for automatic editing of picture, some of them advanced ... but the most important and basic one is missing: RESIZE.
We are affected by the crazy Apple's idea to make the picture bigger and bigger, every year bigger... I think it will be very appreciated from everyone to have this edit option in dropbox together with the others. I did something good, and advanced as I mentioned, but this one is missing. 🙋♂️

Do you mean resize as in height / width or size as in number of megabytes and so compress? :)
I would say both of them, with priority to heigth/width.
Have a look at the "Camera Uploads" in your dropbox folder. If you enabled the automatic upload from you smartphone you probably have a folder with milions of pictures with a crazy KB size, because today we cannot set a "normal" size in our smartphone camera. For 99% of picture in our smartphone we dont need to have +5MB each, 400KB is enough!
If I can set the automatic resizing (both KB and resolution) for specific folder, we can easily avoid the daily stress we have for saving space in our laptop o dropboc account.
You already created automatic editing of pictures, why not to add the resizing?
