How to star files and folders
This article describes a feature available to all Dropbox users.
You can star files and folders for easy access on dropbox.com and the Dropbox mobile app.
When you star a file or folder, it’s starred only for you. It’s not starred for anyone else who shares the file or folder.
Star files and folders
Note: You can view pages in a document, scrub through a video, or flip through the contents of a folder without opening it. To do so, make sure you’re using grid layout, then move your cursor horizontally across the file or folder.
- Open the Dropbox mobile app.
- Tap "..." (ellipsis) next to the file or folder you’d like to star.
- Tap Star.
- To unstar a file or folder, tap Unstar.
