If you want to organize your Dropbox files and folders into sections for easy retrieval, you can now do so with Quick access.

What is Quick access?

Quick access allows you to organize files and folders into sections to quickly access them from the left sidebar on dropbox.com. These sections are private to you. Files and folders that you star will automatically be placed in a section named Starred.

Other people can’t see how you organize sections in the Quick access tab. Rearranging files and folders in the Quick access tab doesn’t affect other people.
