Can we get the ability to watermark multiple files in one go?

Ability to watermark multiple photos at the same time would be a lifesaver for photographers. Check out SmugMug’s go to on this. Please incorporate same thing.

    Seriously Dropbox!? In 2021 I have to Watermark 600 photos individually to send to a client. Please add a freaking feature that allows us to watermark MULTIPLE PHOTOS AT A TIME LIKE HOW STUPID IS THIS TO NOT THINK OF!?!

    I use Dropbox not only to deliver final images, but to show multiple lo-res images beforehand for selection purposes.  Sometimes hundreds of images in the form of a "library", I like to allow clients to download them for ease of selecting and for future reference.  Since I don't want images used that might not be "ready for Prime Time", or published without permission, they need to be watermarked.  The Dropbox watermark feature works fine for one image at a time (great that one can remove it, too), but it would be a huge time saver if images could be batch watermarked.  An additional feature with batch watermarking would be to enable editing of individual watermarks within a batch; sometimes a repositioning is needed for clarity.  While I have someone's ear, having the ability to add a custom watermark would also be brilliant. 

    Thanks!

    You guys seriously need to level your watermarking stuff up. Add an option where your users can place watermarks on multiple files at once. Jesus Christ I have hundreds of files and I simply can't go 1 by 1 by 1 to place watermarks on them. It's highly inefficient and counter productive! And as far as I know Dropbox is about productivity, so you need to level this thing up!

    Hi, I have noticed that there have been a number of posts requesting that watermarking multiple files be made available over the years rather than just single files. I too request that it be looked at as i have just signed up to Dropbox professional  for that feature and stupidly didn't check to see that multiple files was available.

    Yeah, adding my vote. I have seen a dozen threads requesting this on the community forums. Business don't have a problem watermarking files, plenty of software does this. They have a problem remembering to do it. Dropbox has an opportunity to solve that problem and reap the benefits. 

     

    What would be infinitely more useful would be if we could set a folder to apply a watermark to any files inside of it. Changing the parent folder's watermark would make the change to all files and subfolders in the folder.
