Add files and folders to Favorites

Favorites are private markers for your account. Use them to keep important files and folders close at hand without moving them.

Add one item to Favorites

  • On Web, click the star on a file or folder to add it to Favorites. You can use the same control in your library, inside a folder, or in search results.

  • On iPhone, open the item's actions and tap the star.

Add several items to Favorites

  • Select the files or folders you want, then choose Add to Favorites.

  • On Web, use the selection bar. On iPhone, enter selection mode and choose Add to Favorites from More.

  • You can add a mix of eligible files and folders at once.

Find your Favorites

  • On Web, open Favorites from the navigation.

  • On iPhone, open Favorites from the bottom navigation bar.

  • Both destinations can contain files and folders. Your normal sort and view choices apply there.

Remove an item from Favorites

  • Click or tap the filled star on an individual item, or select several items and choose Remove from Favorites.

  • Removing a Favorite does not delete, move, or unshare the original item.

Availability and access

  • Favorites are personal to your account and do not appear on public share pages.

  • You can change favorite status only for items in your own library.

  • On iPhone, you cannot change Favorites for failed uploads, content from another person's shared link, or items in Offline. Favorite changes are not queued for later.

Troubleshooting

If a favorite does not update, check whether the item is a failed upload, shared-link item, or Offline item on iPhone. Refresh Favorites after the change if the item does not appear.
