    We ran the QR Codes on Web experiment, but after careful consideration, we've decided to remove this feature.

Must be a glitch. It worked last month and now the option is gone.

      Hey Sam, I am wondering whether Dropbox decided to reinstate the QR code feature back in the function. This QR code is very useful for sharing easily for the invitees to just snap and enter the link easily. Some organizations do not allow internet access in their workplaces. Hence having the QR code, they can view the files using their mobile phones. Hope to hear some updates, please. Thanks!

      Why? Will it be added back in the future? This was super helpful

      Please make more careful consideration and add the QR codes back. Terrible decision.
