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.

Search photos by Map location

Would be great to search photos on map, like Apple icloud has. Any plan to do that?

    My guess is that probably not saying as though photos are all private and not publicly searchable.

    Hi bign, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    Could you let us know more information on how this would work on a Dropbox account? 

     

    Could you click an image and a location would appear, or something else?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

    Great idea - I had just written about this too. The Samsung Gallery app has this functionality too, and it is super useful - wish I could do the same with my Dropbox photos!

    Yes, please bring this function!! I guess the data is there, when we upload the photos in camera uploads. Searching by eg "Berlin" could return all the pictures taken in Berlin. Or have a map in which we can zoom in and find the pictures in each location, just like in our iphones.
