How can I hide photos from the Photos tab without deleting them from Dropbox?

Hi,

I have old photos and videos in dropbox folder. These photos and video added to photos. How can I remove them from photos and prevent them get again to photos. If I delete them from photos tab, they also deleted from folder.

Thanks,

Rafi

    Thanks for your post, raficohen12.

    The Photos tab is a reflection of all the photos/videos you’ve stored on your Dropbox account. As a result, if you delete a file from it, it’ll automatically be removed from the original folder it’s stored in, as you’re basically deleting that same file. 

    Feel free to check this idea though, and vote for it, in case it describes what you’d like to achieve. 

    If it doesn't, you can also create a new one about hiding certain photos/videos from the Photos tab instead (with these tips).

    Give me a nudge, if you need something else.
