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
It's true that the albums are simply a system of visual bookmarks.
It's a good question...why add the bloat of unnecessary file duplication?

Dropbox is killing cosumer grade services it seems.
They are only making significat profit on Bussines suite and don't really care about services that are not used by large customers.
Too bad, I guess Google Drive and Google Photos is the way to go if you want decent photos support.
cheers
I disagree, since I use the dropbox album feature almost exclusively for business. As a contractor, I'm able to quickly bring up collected images of job sites to share with my employees. No scrolling around with everyone tapping their feet waiting. Albums are awesome, synced uploads are awesome.

Maybe it's fairer to say that Dropbox has the perception that features like albums are primarily for consumers. Maybe comments like the ones above will convince them otherwise.

You have a point there, but when I said in my post "large customers" I meant that.
By that definition you and I who use Dropbox for simillar purpose are not "large customers".
I'm still sad and woried about all those albums I will have to recreate at Google Photos.....
cheers
