view only link for everyone says Join Folder, Copy to Dropbox, Download. I DON'T want Join Folder.

Hey David125, since we understood that your comments were feedback on an existing feature, we moved the post to the "support" section of the Community, let's say.

But your comments have already been passed along to our team.

Thanks!

Dear Hannah,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out, along with many others in the digital download community, to express our concerns regarding the recent changes in Dropbox that are significantly affecting our small businesses.

Many of us have tailored our operations to integrate seamlessly with Dropbox. The sudden shift in features or policies has left us in a challenging position. Transitioning to a different platform is not only disruptive but also incurs considerable expenses.

We understand that you are aware of the feedback from our community. However, it seems there's an underestimation of the profound impact these changes are having on our businesses. We are in a state of uncertainty and are seeking clarity.

Could you please provide us with a definitive answer regarding whether these issues will be addressed? Moreover, if there are plans for a resolution, an estimated timeline would be immensely helpful.

We appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a prompt and positive response.

Best, 

Please change this ... it's so annoying . . .oh man -.-

I hate this. I almost let strangers with links join some of my folders by accident and they probably clicked on that stupid join folder by accident as well. If this change is not not removed, I'll just look for alternative share/storage solutions soon.

Hi Hannah,

Just want to add another voice to say that the 'join folder' button needs to go. About 50% of our transfers which should just be available for download are having the 'join folder' clicked on in error by our clients. Needs to have the option to remove it please!

I want the people I share with to be able to Download but NOT Join Folder. How do I do that? Like many have pointed out, this is a real problem for us too.

Hannah I understand moving it to support section, but somebody also merged it with another thread which is marked as solved. Our issue hasn't been solved and there is no workaround, so would you mind marking it as unsolved? As you see there are is stream of new people complaining about the same exact thing.

Hey David125, the solution here is marked to make it easy to find the official response/update from Dropbox and the reply was merged here in order for the feedback regarding the "join folder" option to be tracked alongside this update.

However, we appreciate your feedback/comments and if your issue is about something completely different, please let us know and we'll happily assist you further.

marking it solved when its clearly not solved it means they are just trying to hide their mistake and not going to fix it , its not worth wasting our time on this topic anymore, rolling back to the way it was means months of development and money wasted , as i said earlier more and more people will join forum out of frustration looking for answers and on how to fix it

they really ruined my workflow to be honest
