Folder Customization - Colors, Icons, and More

Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could customize our Dropbox folders to make them more visually appealing and easier to organize? I think adding more options to personalize folders could make a big difference, and I’d love to hear what others think about this idea!

Here are a few features I’d suggest:

  • Folder Colors: Imagine being able to color-code your folders—so much easier to spot what you need at a glance!
  • Custom Icons: A simple icon, like a music note for your playlists or a book for your eBooks, could make folders feel more intuitive. This icon could be applied to the already existing folder image, or replace the folder with just an icon.
  • Upload Your Own Images: Personalize your workspace with photos or unique images as folder covers—practical and fun!

These tweaks wouldn’t just look great; they’d make organizing and navigating files so much smoother. Plus, other platforms already offer similar options, and it would be awesome to see Dropbox join in!

If you think these features would be helpful, let’s make some noise and get Dropbox to consider them. What are your thoughts? Do you have other ideas for folder customization? Let’s chat in the comments and show the Dropbox team how much we’d love this!

    Great idea post! I love how you detailed your idea suggestion. Contributing my vote to this, hopefully it will attract others to do so.

    Maybe you could share how this feature would benefit you in your day-to-day work?

    In the recent years I’ve seen Dropbox prioritize business/work features so if you can express your idea in those terms, maybe it has a better chance of being looked at by Dropbox.

    Hope this helps,
