Hi everyone,
Thanks again for your continued feedback on our upcoming changes.
I wanted to let you know that we've heard your concerns about how difficult it is to preserve your album structures in Dropbox. Our engineers have created a simple album export tool to help make this process easier. It's available starting today at the following URL:
www.dropbox.com/photos/album_download
The tool will allow you to download your albums to your desktop as .zip files. Please note that you'll be downloading a new copy of your photos, not moving them, so the photos will still exist in your Dropbox in the original location you saved them.We hope this tool will help alleviate some of the frustration that some of you have reported in this thread. If you have any problems using the tool, feel free to contact us via www.dropbox.com/support.
Regards,
Richard
I have to agree with Darren, that didn't answer the question at all!
The key thing for me is why should I stay with dropbox rather than paying Google for full-quality photo storage? I can get the same backing up behaviour and many more photos features, plus plenty of space in Drive to store all the rest of my junk.
I have been using dropbox for years..managing to get my IOS using family away from iCloud as the automatic time lining of photos from all our devices (android/IOS) and cameras could be consolidated in a single place. The ability to quickly scroll through 15 years of digital photos from phones and SLR’s together is the key defining feature we use, it has basically replaced any local storage on my phone apart from a NAS sync dropbox is my storage for photos.
If I read this right you are taking away this functionality to replace it with a traditional folder view..?
If so, what does dropbox offer in functionality over and above my internet connected NAS drive?
I would rather not have the hassle of moving several TB’s of data across to googles servers, but losing the timeline feature and albums removes the point of using dropbox for me.
