Hey there Kristy Jessica; thanks for using Dropbox!
We do have a dedicated section on the Community where you can post feature requests or suggest a change on existing features, so I'd recommend posting your idea there so other similar-minded users can provide their own input on this one and up-vote it too to show their interest.
Let us know if you have any questions!

Unfortunately it's pointless to suggest changes here.
