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

You can easily check it right now.
Log in to Dropbox via web browser.
1. Go to Files menu.
2. Create new folder in Dropbox.
3. Copy / Upload some photos to that folder.
4. Enter into that folder
5. And that's it! You can see and list photos in that folder as list or grid.
DO NOT use Photos menu to check you newly uploaded photos, that will be gone in June.
You can look at your photos same as you would any other file (no timeline, just folder browsing)
From what I gather they are going to treat Photos as any other file you have.
Not gone, but changed. From the announcement:
... the Photos page timeline will be updated to have a new look and feel.
So while the steps you listed are accurate to browse photos within your folders, the Photos page will still exist in some form. I believe that's what runerat was referring to.
This summary is the problem
Ther is no solution ifor those of us that will have do download thousands of photos already in albums and re sort them into folders. Only eeks and weeks of work.
Dropbox should at least move our current albums into folders
