Printing a list of files in Dropbox

[cengelma]

I've been trying to figure out if there is a way to print a list of files in a Dropbox folder.  Turns out there is no such printing option. However, if you select all files with Ctrl + A, all subfolders and files will be selected.  Then using Ctrl + C, copy to the clipboard.  Next open a new blank Word document and paste (Ctrl +V) to the Word page.  All text should appear from the Dropbox webpage. Delete whatever text is not relevant and you'll be left with a list of folders and files.

Hi All, 😉

For those of you wanting to print files/folders list of particular Dropbox page and not "afraid" of typing a line of code there is a simple solution:

1. Navigate to the page/list you want to print. Here you may want to align table columns for better page fit.
2. Open the browser console - something specific to different browsers (usually labeled as Tools, Developer Tools, etc.)
3. Copy/paste in the console prompt following line:

   document.body.style="overflow: visible !important; height: fit-content";table=$(".brws-files-view-list");document.body.innerHTML="";document.body.append(table)​

4. At the end just print the resulting list.

For longer list, you may need to repeat above steps more than once and print page by page while aligning the content.

Good luck.

Hi @Graham,

No so helpful, unfortunately. The methods described here (including the one from me, but not only) are convenient for relatively short lists (up to 25~30 entries sometimes or more - depending on your screen size and its orientation). Dropbox site design drops significant part of all invisible entries from the list when it's longer. Would be a good idea in print mode that page to keep all records (temporary at least) - so longer lists to be possible. This is matter of design decision though. Current site design makes long list printing (even with workaround) inconvenient!

Hope this will gives some ideas for improvements.
