You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
Monthly folders for Camera uploads
My proposal would help to sort the incoming photos in a proper way. I asked for an automatic creation of a folder like "2025_01" at the beginning of each month. The provider 1&1 Germany does it in this way. The photos should be filed into the monthly folders. Hence a better overview would be given.
Cannot move shared folder if I am not the owner
I am trying to reorganize my dropbox because I literally have thousands of folders, and I need them to be more logically nested. This is no problem with shared folders that I own, but I can't move any shared folders where I am not the owner. This is a nightmare, because it means that every folder anyone has ever shared with me remains in my top level dropbox folder and cannot be filed into the relevant subfolder within dropbox. Because I can't find any information about this issue online, I am assuming that my dropbox is not functioning correctly. Hoping someone can help me to fix this issue? Here is the error message I get when I try to move a shared folder where I am not the owner from my top level dropbox folder to a different subfolder within dropbox (that is not shared with anyone else, in case that is relevant): Couldn't move folder To move this folder, try contacting the owner of FOLDER_NAME If I click on the "more information" link, it just takes me to a generic message about team folders. (Note: These are not dropbox business team folders--they are simply shared folders. I have a regular Dropbox pro account, on Windows 11, desktop version.)Dropped a file into my Dropbox folder and don't know how to get it out

Dropbox Capture — no “Select All,” or bulk actions other than delete?
Okay, I have a number of existing videos from Capture (fortunately, only 15, considering the below points) and I’d like to start organizing them. Now, you would think: There would be a way to select them all at once. Nope, I have to click the check box on each video. That using the “+ Create collection” button after selecting multiple selected videos would make a new collection containing those videos. Nope. Perhaps instead, a “Move to...” button to put them in an existing collection. Nope. Literally the only thing I can with a selection of multiple videos is to deselect them or delete them. To add insult to injury, if I select “Add to collection” on an individual video, the popup window default view is to have my company's folder open by default, which means that if I need to either close that or scroll to the bottom of the list in order to put it into one of my own collections. That wouldn’t be the end of the world if I only had to do it once for a bulk action, but I have to do it for EVERY video, one at a time. I hope that I’m wrong, and that someone will tell me where the actual functions are hidden. Thanks in advance...
Can we have an option for bulk tagging?
Hello product team! I just started using dropbox again today after many years, thinking it would have gotten some much needed upgrades. I was hoping it would be a solid place to store my family's thousands of photos. I was absolutely shocked that it is still not possible to select a number of files to add a tag to them, instead of one at a time. It is such a basic feature. Will this ever be a possibility? There isn't even a "tags"-tag to add to this post. "Organizing" is a very broad subject, and tags really should be treated as its own subject, since it is if not THE, then definitely one of the most foundational aspects of organizing documents. Titles of documents can only get you so far.
As an admin, I can't delete or move shared folders created from other users.
I'm trying to organize my account and I noticed a lot of employees created top-level folders and shared folders, which I'm trying to organize. The system won't let me move or delete these folders created by them, even if I am the admin. Please advise on how to achieve this. The intention is to have a clear structured file hierarchy for all employees. I tried signing in as each member but I don't seem to have that feature (is this enterprise only?). Please help I have a mess of folders in the account.Search a photo/video/file through the comments
For example. Lets say I have a like 20+ photos out of 1000+ and in the comments of those photos they have the word "red" in them. The Ability to search through your photos etc. using the "comments" as the "filter" there would be a search bar and I type the word "red" and it brings up all my photos with the word "red" in the comments. I hope that makes sense.Move Folder or Files from one project to another
Hi I love this service! Its useful and easy to use! But I noticed its not possible tomove Folder or Files from one project to another. I created a lot of files and folders, we already got some comments there and versions, and realized that its not in the correct project. Would be awesome and apriciated if you please add this feature asap. Thank you in advance!
