Request for Dark Mode for the Website and the Desktop (including Paper)
I nearly go blind every time I open dropbox, how can you guys have been around so long yet you still don't have a simple toggle to change the CSS style to a darker color to not blind your users? Seriously. Can we please get a night mode?93KViews306likes201Comments

Password protect Paper app
Why is there no way to password protect the Dropbox Paper mobil app? I mean are you kidding me? I really wanted to use this app to keep passwords so I could go from desktop to mobil and quickly look up a password or some other secret document but to my surprise, after initially setting up DB Paper, it opens right up to my save secret document. the Dropbox app has a 4-digit password, how freaking hard would it be to put that in the Paper app?24KViews36likes15Comments
Honor filename capitalization when exporting
See https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Files-folders/Filenames-become-lowercase-when-attaching-from-DropBox-to-Mail/td-p/349737. Filenames should not become all lowercase when exporting a file from DropBox (e.g. to Mail via Files, or directly to Google Drive). Other sources, such as Google Drive and FileExplorer, do not have this issue.22KViews8likes11CommentsAudio playback speed controls in IOS app
In the December app update, I discovered that Dropbox had added speed controls for 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x playback. As well as also very useful skip back/forwards 15 seconds within the app itself. I'm a corporate user who has to regularly review audio files - so the added controls were an invaluable timesaver for me. I had to review around 40 hours of audio in December as an example. However having updated the app again in the last 24 hours (to 312.2), I've discovered these controls have been removed. I've logged a ticket with support, however they have suggested I post it as an idea here ... for which I'd be interested to know if others also found this useful.Am aware this can work on desktop, but I find the best experience to listen to audio can be had whilst mobile and on the move. It would be really helpful if those that also used it and liked this feature could support this idea so that hopefully the feature can be re-introduced. Thanks for reading!

The fact that I can easily play almost any audio or video file in my iOS is just another reason I've stayed with Dropbox over the past 10 years. The new feature I'd love to see the ability to do a 2x or 4x speed on the audio/video inside the iOS app. This is available on the web interface. Please oh please put it in the iOS app as well. Life-changing for audiobooks, webinars, trainings, etc.17KViews31likes20CommentsStore offline files on SD card on Android devices
I have an ASUS ZenPad 8 running Android 6.0 and right now I'm running Dropbox on the internal memory. This works great but I'm using up ~4.5Gb of internal storage. I'd like to run Dropbox on my 128Gb microSD in the tablet but don't know how to do this. I can (and did) do this on my Window's desktop but that was relatively easy, basically just changing the location call for Dropbox from my C: Drive to the D: Drive. How do I do this in an Android system?17KViews27likes37Comments
Choosing which folder to add camera uploads
With multilpe users on my dropbox account, I need a feature where I can select which folder mobile uploads are directed to. My wife and I both use our phones for work, and we take a lot of pictures. Dropbox currently mixes all the photos we both take into a combined folder. I would like to have a serparate folder for each of us.14KViews15likes36Comments
