Alphabet slider on the Dropbox app on iOS doesn't work with folders
On Dropbox app iPhone iOS 15 There is an alphabet slider that you can use to jump to different parts of your dropbox quickly. You used to be able to use it for any file in dropbox, but now it doesnâ...
Hello! Unfortunately we no longer have the alphabet slider, but we do have a new file scrubber to help you quickly scroll through your files. If you tap, hold, and drag the file scrubber down you should be able to easily scroll through your content. When scrolling through files specifically, you'll be able to see the first letter of the files you're scrolling through as well. I have included a screenshot of what the experience looks like below! Hope this helps.

Hi Walter,
Iâm using Dropbox version 314.2.2 on my iPad mini (iPadOS 16.2).
I have cleared the cache, which hasnât made any difference.
The same thing happens on my iPhone, so I donât think itâs my end.
Thanks,
Charlie

Since you see how valuable the alphabet slider is for your community, why don't you consider adding it back? It's clearly so important to so many of your customers. This file scrubber is not as easy to use as what existed before, but it's better than nothing. Is it really difficult for you to add back the extremely useful alphabet slider? Take a look at what everyone else is writing about this! Thank you Michael
To all the "geniuses" at the drop box bar - this is not what we want. Not as fast. Pretty pathetic "fix". We actually pay for your services and don't ask for much. We just want it to stay the same easy platform it was before. How much code room does the alphabet navigation actually take up? You need to get back to the drawing board and do better. I am pretty sure this is not going to be acceptable to any of the users that have complained or to those that did not.
I agree. The newer scroll button is better than the old âupgradedâ tiny button with 3 lines, which was an absolute horror to use. The new button is larger and easier to engage, and the letter indication beside it is nice, but still not as fast/easy/efficient/enjoyable as the original alphabet display index.
(Itâs still kind of clunky, slow, too small, and imprecise)You spoiled us!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU, to bring the original alphabet index list back!!!
There is no scrubber on my iPhone 10 with the latest iOS and latest Dropbox 372.2.4
