Photo button

[Woody3131]

Hello,  I do not have a photo button on my website.  Tried multiple browsers.  Can only access photos through a direct URL which is www.dropbox.com/photos   

How can I access my photos from the website home page itself?  After clicking files there is no photo button available.  What am I doing wrong?

Thx

Hi @Woody3131; welcome to our Community and thanks for using Dropbox!

As you found out, for personal Dropbox accounts, we removed the original Photos page on July 17, 2017 and replaced it with a new one, which has been redesigned to better align with the rest of our website.

Users on personal Dropbox accounts can still access a view of all of their photos on our new Photos timeline by following the direct link here:

• https://www.dropbox.com/photos

Keep in mind that the new Photos page does not support quick-scroll timeline, album creation and sharing, or direct sharing to social media.

Additionally, our website allows all users to view files as large thumbnail previews using grid view if needed:

• https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/sync-uploads/sort-files 

I hope this clears things up and I'm just a post away for any follow up questions.

Happy Friday!

Hi Walter,

Thank you for your response.  I think you are confirming that Photo viewing is not available from within the website and can only be accessed through the direct link?  That seems really wierd to me that there would not be a Photo button on the website that would take you there instead of typing in the URL link manually.  Makes it very difficult and onerous to share pictures with someone who is not tech savey.

Thanks, Jim
