Need to be able to print the entire file structure for any account

Need to be able to print the entire file structure for any account

I know other people have suggested this  but I'm just adding my two cents worth - Being able to download/print the entire file structure for your records or to share with others - would save having to manually record it in a spreadsheet.  Not sure why there hasn't been any action on it since 2019 - too hard perhaps?

Yes, please!  We are in desperate need for this.  We've been using Dropbox for years and need to (read: yesterday!) restructure our Dropbox files into a more user friend / systematic methodoloy & need to get a handle first on all the folders contained as well at the current file / tree structure.  help, help help!

Exactly what people have said - I cannot program a script but if I am sharing a folder of 50+ files with a group that can add to it and need to know what's in it already, an exportable directory is of critical importance. I have found a kludge, but an automatic function would be nice!

I would really like to be able to print out a folder structure with all the files inside.

This seems like a no brainer function.  Why is it taking so long for dropbox to implement it?  The are multiple reasons for this simple functionality.

 

In my use I need to review every file that has been uploaded.  I need a way to verify I have reviewed the files and also make notes.  Since dropbox does not have the functionality of marking folders as reviewed and making notes then I need to do it manually on paper.

I manage a large database for a non-profit organization with many subfiles.  I wish there was a way to create a "tree" document of the main folder so I could see a clear physical showing of files within sub files.  without having to click every individual sub file down the line.  

 

I asked your online assistant and they said currently there is not way to do this.

@JdBartell, I’ve merged your idea here, since it sounds similar to the OP. 

 

Feel free to check this thread though for a possible workaround.

Terrific idea. I have innumerable files and folders and would like to create a list for cleaning up and simplifying my folder structure.
