Selecting all starred photos
I need to select all of the photo's that we recently starred. The only way I can see them all together is on my homepage but from there you cannot select multiple photo's and there are no checkboxes...
- Starring a file only makes it appear on your home page for quick access. There's no way to select all or filter on all starred files.

This is not an acceptable solution. Please fix.
Totally agree - starred is worse than there being no feature to star at all. It gives you the idea that you will be able to collect these photos together but there is nothing you can do with them once you have actually starred them.
So as with the original poster, you spend a load of time starring things, only to learn that it was pointless.
Was there any user research on this "feature"?

I'm not sure what the point of the Home page is actually, but, I seriously doubt it will ever include Photo functionality like you are all talking about I'm afraid - as similar things to what you've mentioned have not long since been removed from Dropbox's website.
Sadly as well
ayeshaji and calledhandid - there actually isnt anything to fix. Its working as intended. Albeit in a less than helpful way.
Agree totally. Most annoying thing ever. Just wasted unbelievable amount of time on a project with a v tight deadline. Fuming. Dropbox, this seems like such a basic requirement - to be able to move and manipulate selected photos.
- I’m about done downloading all content from Dropbox because of this. If you have Amazon Prime it’s a MUCH better deal and photos can be moved around.
