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.

You can view your starred files and folders:

  • On the Home page on dropbox.com, under Starred
    • Note: You might have to scroll down to see this
  • On the All files page on dropbox.com, in the Starred tab
  • In the Starred section of the Dropbox mobile app Home screen
