I totally agree with this. I'm a graphic designer and often share a drobox link to a moodboard with a client. As I never know if they have Drobox or not I have no way of knowing if they are seeing a list view (e.g. if they added the folder to their Dropobox) or grid view (if the haven't added the folder or aren't logged in).  It seems like such a basic feature that it's omission is probaby deliberate - for example to engourage users to use the desktop app and not rely too heavily on the web interface.  @ the Dropbox team... if you're out there, grid view would be a great feature and would help a lot of creatives & designers.
