Eliminate alphabetical listing of uploaded photos. I want chronological order. How can I fix this?

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!

Hi @PEteacher50, thanks for messaging the Community!

 

Are you using the automatic camera upload feature, or the manual uploads?

 

Is this being done via the Dropbox mobile app, desktop app, or website itself?

 

This will help me to assist further!

I apologize for the delay in responding. I am not "techy". lol. I believe I am moving each photo manually from my PC to Dropbox one-by-one. I am a name for my photos/video. So when I drag the item and it moves to the alphabetical listing on Dropbox.

Second concern....can I move photos/video directly from GooglePhotos to dropbox. Currently I am saving each to my PC and dragging to Dropbox. There must be a better way.

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?
