    Hey stuey6 - sorry to hear about this.


    Can you clarify your device's OS version, and the version of the Dropbox mobile app installed there? 

     

    Also, do you notice this when you navigate a specific folder or the photos tab?

      Hey Walter,

       

      I’m curious about your questions for Stuey6.

       

      Stuey6 and I have the impression that what we describe happens for every user, in every version of the Dropbox mobile app, and in every folder.

       

      Do you know of a Dropbox app version where this does NOT happen? Which version would that be, and is there a way to ‘anti-update’ to get it?

       

      Also, do you know of a folder where this does NOT happen? I would love to know what it might be.

       

      Thank you for your help,

      Air-Water

        I was just making sure we're on the same page there Water-Air  - thanks for your nudge on this.

         

        The option to swipe through your photos is available when previewing them normally at this time, not full-screen. 

         

        That said, note that I've noted your feedback in our system and you can let us know if you have anything else to add.
