SELECTING MULTIPLE STARRED FILES
Hi, Can anyone help with a shortcut to selecting multiple starred files?
I have over 300 starred photo files I'm trying to download.
There's got to be a better way than clicking all those fil...
Hi porchbaby, and welcome aboard the Community!
What you can do is go to your Photos page on www.dropbox.com and then, click on the Starred column there; all of your starred photos should appear.
If you have many images for each year, you can also select the “Year” option from the menu, and click on the small checkboxes above each year’s photos. That should select all of them and you can then, download them in bulk.
I hope that makes sense, but I’m here if you need to ask me something.

I have starred thousands of photos and the only file identified in the Photos folder is a video. My starred files are mostly RAWs, so I can understand that the program doesn't identify it as a photo, just want to check if that's correct?

Hey sydpsd - if the files aren't showing in general in your Photos page, starring them won't make them appear there.
You'll be able to see them in your homepage under the Starred option.
I hope this helps!
