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
Does anyone see the new page? It is July 18th and I still see a banner saying that this page will be changing on July 17th.
Maybe Dropbox changed their minds?

You had to go and say something. They had forgotten to remove albums, but now, because you said something, they are going to remove the albums. Thanks buddy, it's all your fault.
- Looks great. I like it a ot.
I like how you can't delete the photos from dropbox online in "photos". You have to go the the folder and find it. That's way harder.
The new version does not provide any functionality for working with photos.
Check one photo you have a Share, Show in folder, Download, Add comment and Version history option. Check two or more photos and you only have Download.
Obviously the albums style functionality is gone, but you can't even check a few photos and move them to their own folder.
When you have 32554 photos, this new view is pretty much pointless.

Easy - bring back the albums functionality, that's how users prefered to work with photos.
