How to star files and folders

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.

Starred files and folders appear:

• In the dropbox.com Home tab under Starred
• In the Starred page in the left sidebar on dropbox.com
• In the Dropbox mobile app Home screen in the Starred tab
