Dropbox: Find Starred Files/Folders

Environment

U-M Dropbox

Issue

How do I find the files and folders I've starred in Dropbox?

Resolution

There are two ways to view your starred files/folders in Dropbox:

From the left sidebar

Your starred files/folders should appear under "Starred" in the "Quick access" section in the left sidebar. If they are not listed, you likely need to expand the "Starred" section by clicking on the header.

From your "All files" list

Click Starred under "All files" on the homepage to filter all files/folders to just your starred items.

Additional Information

Note: Dropbox removed the "Starred" section from the left navigation in 2023 but readded it with their release of the "Quick access" section in late 2024.
