How can I view my photos like a gallery?
There used to be a feature to view your pictures in gallery. What happened to that? I can't find it anymore :(.
Something like this.

Dropbox StaffHey there Jonas E.3, thanks for checking in with us.
I'd be more than happy to help, I'll just need a bit more info on what you're trying to achieve when you mention that you'd like to manage images?
Are you trying to preview the images you upload in a specific sequence, or see a list of added photos?
Keep me posted!
Hi Lusil
Thanks for reaching out. I have a few use cases I can share.
As previously mentioned in this thread the link to photos is missing on dropbox.com. Now you need to figure out to write the url directly www.dropbox.com/photos. You can of course bookmark it but not very nice UX.
I am using macbook air and the new dropbox client (same case for finder). I want to open images and move from one image to another in a folder. I also want to be able to share the viewing on a screen. Can I do that or do I need to open browser and navigate to photos.
I am using the camera upload from phone and other devices. thus all images end up there work, private, whatsapp etc. I do not want to share all photos with everyone. Then I need to move into a separate folder and share so that works but then I am not having all images in one place. Example we have been on a family trip with friends and taken 50 photos. I want to share 20 with my friends but not the remaining but I do not want to have them in separate folders. So I would like to keep one repository for all photos but group them in albums. I believe this is what carousel did?
I think it would be great if you can create a guide on best practice for managing photos with dropbox. I am mainly using dropbox as a private person and having a backup of photos as well as managing them from different touchpoints was the main reason for signing up with dropbox initially.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the details, Jonas E.3.
You can move from one image to another using the cursor keys when they are being previewed on the site. To view them on a screen, you’d need to open the browser there.
Currently, albums are no longer an option on the Dropbox site, and can only be created and edited on Android devices. They can shared as a link to open in a normal browser.
In order to get a similar experience to albums, you would need to have the photos you want shared in a separate folder (or several if you have different batches) and share the the folders as links.
I hope this info helps to clarify matters!
