    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'm not sure what they're playing at - perhaps they want third party services to crop up like photowranglr that sit on top of the DropBox storage but add extra value by making photos searchable etc. 

 

Or maybe they're planning to add a better experience?

alphachannel, not sure if you are plugging photowranglr as a representative or just a customer (or neither), but their pricing is a complete joke - $50pm for unlimited!

    $50/month to search another service? that is hilariously overpriced. i sincerely hope most people know there are better ways to accomplish the same goal for a lot less money.

      Seeing as how Microsoft charges a lot more for computer vision, especially for videos, any flat rate is a good deal. But it looks like they got that feebback elsewhere, I just checked the site and the pricing is now a lot lower.
