Can we have a third option to upload files both in JPEG and HEIC format?
Please provide a third option to upload both JPEG and HEIC. Why exclude one over the other? thanks

Show the actual date a file is uploaded or modified
I don't understand why the dropbox mobile app doesn't show the specific date that a file is uploaded or modified in dropbox. This is a file management feature that has been around for many years and seems ridiculous that we can't see it in dropbox, especially when I'm sure your servers capture the specific date a file is uploaded or modified. All your app shows now is a nebulous designation of, for example, "2 weeks ago" or "3 months ago", etc.

Option that allows you to change the image resolution before uploading
I wish to upload pictures in a small format from my iPhone. From the album or directly taken from the camera. Now my problem is: all pictures are 3 MB. Bigger is not always better. If I wish to scan visit cards or a simple graphic for example, 300 KB are enough

File size limit for requested files
Would like the ability to set a size limit when requesting files from someone - so that they cannot upload a file larger than the size chosen by the requester.

Use video's first frame as its thumbnail
currently, for some bizarre reason, if a user uploads, a video to dropbox, the thumbnail attached to the video becomes a random screen frame approximately eight seconds into the video, rather than the first image of the video. Thus, if you make a video and wish to share it with others from your dropbox, the thumbnail that attaches to it will be some random unintended thumbnail. This is sub optimal programming, and dropbox says that they will correct it if enough users request it. please vote to make the thumbnail assigned as the first frame of an uploaded video.

Add sFTP support for uploading files.
Most businesses need to send files via sFTP for various reasons. I am not sure why Dropbox does not provide SSH as an option to upload and/or download files.

Edit or shorten the email address for the 'Email to Dropbox' feature
A simple solution could be making the auto-generated email address shorter. or allowing the user to name the email address The issue is the email address is so long that the computer system I am entering it into simply can't fit the long address. So I am sending it to my gmail account, which I am trying to have set up to auto forward to the auto generated dropbox folder email account. Gmail can not allow forwarding to an email until the email account owner opens an email approval link that is sent to the email account. Which I can not open an email in the dropbox auto generated email account so I can approve it.

Automatically Name a Folder after the Uploader in File requests
I'd like to automatically rename a folder from File Requests after the uploader. Currently you're able to automatically rename files using the uploader's name, so I'd like to do the same with automated folder organizations.
