    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

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." What's the difference between calling your groups of photos an " album" or a "file?" How much of a bonus was an executive paid for THIS revolutionary , novel, super-ingenious idea which will surely solve the problems of the world? Dropbox is a no-brainer for non-techies like me,which is a major selling point. Who is the competion that you are afraid of? Also, with the new system, are you able to move the order of the photos within the "file?" I have not been successful doing that with the current "album" feature. ..... Now that's something for you to work on! When I forget to add a photo,I want it to be placed with the same subject matter, not at the end of the album. Good Luck.

"We’re continuing to work on new photos and file experiences on dropbox.com. As we learn more about how our users prefer to work with photos, we’ll launch improvements to the Photos page."


.... Bahahaha .... isn't "how our users prefer to work with photos" OBVIOUS?
