Keep Dropbox files hidden

[JakeOMite]

I just got a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4. Love it!
I have DropBox installed and just found out the all my DropBox photos and videos are now visible in My Files and Gallery. I'm fine with Google+ and Picassa media showing up but no DropBox files. I want those files kept only in DropBox, which is password protected. Any thoughts?

Any pictures not in a hidden folder will "show up" on your phone. Media Scanner scans the phone for media files, makes a list of them and the apps use that list to decide which files to show you. Files in a folder with a file named .nomedia aren't scanned. If you put such a folder in your DropBox folder, the pictures won't show in Gallery, Pictures or any other app - you'll have to find them with a file manager app to see them.

IOW, they're scanned or they're not - you can't make them be scanned only for certain apps.
