Allow hiding individual photos of folders from the Photos tab

Allow hiding individual photos of folders from the Photos tab

The Photos Folder is not a useful tool if we are not able to decide what shows up there. I am using Dropbox to back up a Mac, so photos that are on my Mac are in those backups and also stored in other folders on Dropbox. Therefore, in the Photos Folder there are duplicate copies of each of those photos. I cannot delete either as they are on Dropbox for different purposes - one as a backup and one as part of my photo organization system in Dropbox. Without the ability to hide photos from my Photos Folder, I will need to find another way to organize my photos.

I have work files and personal files in my Dropbox. Currently the Photos area is full of .pdf, .svg, and .png charts and graphs. 

 

The ability to exclude these files by either (1) specifying only specific folders to display in Photos or (2) excluding certain file extensions from Photos would be valuable. (1) would be best in my opinion and is already possible in Microsoft Onedrive. 

 

I would appreciate an update on whether this is feature is likely to be added in the near future. Thank you.

Unfortunately @mtbaker Dropbox dont release roadmaps. 

 

We will only know if this is going to happen as and when it starts rolling out.
