Using the Dropbox website

From Home, users can access different options in the left sidebar. The options depend on which type of Dropbox plan you have.

All files

Click All files to access all the files and folders you’ve added to your Dropbox account, including your Suggested, Recent, and Starred files and folders, online-only content, and content managed with selective sync. Browse or sort your files and folders, and quickly share, preview, or open them. Above the file list and filters, you can upload content from your computer and create new files and folders.

 

Shared

Get quick access to all files and folders that have been shared with you, or that you've shared with others. 

• Click the Recent tab at the top of the page to see shared content by date.

• Click the Links tab to see files and folders that have been shared with a link.

You can create new shared folders by clicking Shared in the left sidebar, then clicking the Create shared folder above the file list.
 

File requests

Manage file requests and check how many submitters have responded and files have been added. 

• Click the Opened tab to see file requests that are still pending. Click the send email icon (paper airplane) next to a file request to share it via email. Or, click the link icon (chainlink) to copy a link to share.

Deleted files

Access files and folders you’ve deleted from your account, grouped by date.

By clicking Deleted files in the left sidebar you can filter deleted files by date, user, and folder.

Send and track

Track real-time analytics for your files. You can send your files with secure links, control access with passwords, collect emails, and track page-by-page analytics to follow up with viewers.

Quick access

You can organise files and folders into sections to quickly access them from the left sidebar. These sections are private to you. Files and folders that you star will automatically be placed in a section named Starred.

• To add files and folders to a section, you can drag and drop them in. Or, click “⁝” (vertical ellipsis) next to the name of the section and follow the prompts to select the file or folder.
• To move a file from a section to another section, hover over the file in the Quick access tab and click “⁝” (vertical ellipsis). Click Move to section, select a section from the dropdown menu, and click Move.
• To remove a file from a section, hover over the file in the Quick access tab and click “⁝” (vertical ellipsis). Then, click Remove from section.
