    Hi, pdxmaven ,

     

    The star file / folder function is a Dropbox feature that available only on Dropbox web or mobile app. From my understanding, that won't be shown on desktop. As an alternative, you may star all the photos first, then create a new `Favorite` folder to move all the starred files into it. Then the folder will be synced across all the platforms.
