Make TAGS editable or deletable from master list, please
Through weeks of tagging thousands of my portrait photos, I've changed my tags to better flow and group by category, but the old tag names are still popping up as options. I would like those gone as options. It would be great to see a master list of tags, and from therebe able to manage (edit, delete) tags from a master list, not just from individual files. Thanks for considering!12KViews48likes24Comments
Search by file name instead of full-text search
Dropbox 'full-text search' is a powerful and convenient feature. However, as I add more and more files to Dropbox, the 'full-text search' feature is becoming more of a hindrance, especially when I don't want to do a 'deep' search. For instance, I need to find a file with the name 'Apple' on its name. However, the 'full-text search' returns a huge list of files containing the word 'Apple', and the file I need is buried amongst them. I request the Dropbox team to make the 'full-text search' an optional feature. That is, for a casual search, Dropbox should search only the file names. If I want a 'deeper' search, I should be able to select/tick 'full-text search' in the next step. Thanks!26KViews39likes29Comments
Ability to compare different versions of a file from the version history
There are many times that I have wished that I could see the differences between two versions of a file in the version history. I know that there are other ways to do this but they either don't work all the time or involve me giving someone/thing else access to my dropbox files. I really think this would be an excellent and often used piece of functionality.7.6KViews33likes6Comments
Enable searching EXIF metadata on website and mobile apps
Hi Dropbox and Carousel team, I have been a faithful and long time user of both Dropbox and Carousel, but have recently switched to Microsoft OneDrive as my Cloud Drive provider. What I have experienced is that in some ways the Office Online integration is better than with DropBox, but apart from that, the hole experience is not as I have come to expect as when I was using Dropbox. But since I have got 1 TB for free, work, I would need new features from you guys at Dropbox, to make me return :) ... and now back to my enhancement / feature request for Dropbox and Carousel, for both Apps and Website. Please enable EXIF photo data search in the Carousel App, and hereafter on website as well :) !! I guess it would be a matter of extending the already implemented full text search in dropbox for include EXIF information. This would enable users of Dropbox, and specifically users of Carousel to be able to search on photos taken on a specific location, GPS tag, or date/year, or folder/album name. Fellow Dropbox users, please vote on this enhancement request ! :)16KViews33likes36Comments
Full Text Search for Markdown and other Text Documents
I am trying to use the full text search feature, however it seems very limited. According to the documentation and my experiments, Dropbox only indexes the contents of text files with a .txt extension. However, Dropbox can Preview a wide range of files that contain only text, including .md files. Is there a way to get Dropbox to index file extensions other than .txt as Text content? If not, can this feature be added?7.6KViews23likes22Comments
Need iOS text editor that can search in text files
Since the Dropbox app doesn't have search once I open a simple text file, I need to find a text editor that can connect to my Dropbox account, and has a simple search feature. I don't even care if it can edit. The file I have is 6,000 lines and 33KB so it's not small but not huge either. Recommendations on a simple iOS app that can do searching insidethe text file?12KViews19likes17CommentsChange order of starred files by dragging and dropping
Hello, I have maybe a half dozen files/folders currently that I have starred for easy access on my Home page, and I am wondering if there is a way to control what order they are in besides un-starring them and then re-starring with the fact that the most recent will be at the top in mind? That method is really cumbersome, but it bothers me seeing them in whatever random order I happened to star them, as well as the fact that anything over 5 is hidden by default so potentially the most important file is not even immediately visible when I sign in. If there is not currently another way to do this that I am overlooking, I'd like to submit it as a suggestion for future options. The ability to drag and drop them into the order a person prefers would be awesome, but even being able to organize by type, ETC would be an improvement. Thanks!9.2KViews17likes16Comments
