Eliminate alphabetical listing of uploaded photos.
Eliminate alphabetical listing of uploaded photos. I want chronological order. How can I fix this?
- 2 years ago
Yes. I am dragging. I think I fixed the problem. I changed the settings to list in order of dates the photos were captured. It seems to have worked. Thanks everyone for your help!

Are you dragging the files from your PC onto the Dropbox website directly, or, if you have the Dropbox desktop application, are you dragging them into the Dropbox folder?
Currently, there isn't a feature to copy from other cloud services to Dropbox, though there may be some third party apps or services that are able to assist you on this matter.

I believe I am dragging from Photos onto my Dropbox "file" I created. When I try to upload, I get a "failed" message

From your description, it sounds like you're uploading to the Dropbox site, since the Dropbox desktop application doesn't have a failed message.
Have you tried dragging the file into the Dropbox folder on your computer, and not in the web browser?
