Can we have an option to add a new folder upon saving a file on the iOS app?

When saving a file or a URL on the DB iPhone app, thx for making it somwhat easier to navigate to when the user wants to save the file. (Though it could be better w options for sort by most recent, alphabetical, etc).

But the biggest issue is the user can’t create a new folder within the selected folder while still in the save mode.

User has to drop the new file loose and then go back and create the new folder and then move the previously dropped file into the newly created folder.

I’m running iOS 14.4 with latest version of Dropbox. This has been the case since iOS 14!!! The option to save to Dropbox that was available in iOS 13 is still available. Dropbox team please fix this glitch. No reason for us to go through this exercise every time we want to create a folder while saving. Please let me know.

When receiving files from third parties and I'm using the "Save to Dropbox" option, I'd love to have the option on the next screen to create a new folder where I want it saved in my account, without having to rely on folders that already exist.

Hi @Hansen Photo, thanks for your suggestion!

 

May I ask a few more details, like what’s the OS version of your device, as well as for a screenshot of the options you see when selecting “Save to Dropbox”? 

 

You can hide any personal info that may be showing.

 

Let me know when you’re ready.
