Re: Sunsetting Collections

Sunsetting Collections

Hi Everybody,

 

The beta for Collections will close on July 11. If you were included in the beta, your content within Collections is still accessible in its original folder or under “Collection uploads” in your personal folder. Any shared links will continue to be accessible for an additional four weeks and shut off on July 11.
 
We thank you for participating in the Collections beta. Your support and feedback have helped us fix issues and improve Dropbox products for all our users.
 
Regards,
Ben

I shall be very sorry to see the "Collections" option close on July 11. Is any consideration being given to extending/reinstating the facility, perhaps as an additional paid option?

Best Wishes,

Ken Syme

This is a nightmare, I can't have Dropbox in my favourites bar on my Mac now?

Hi Everybody,

 

Thanks for your input here. I will clarify for users who are not part of the Collections beta.

 

Collections is a beta that allows users to compile boards of documents, files, photos, etc. @Laetitia Keyrouz if you are part of the beta, you would see it on the navigation bar on the left hand side of your Dropbox when you log in, as in the image below.

 

 

 

@Marisa D.1 This will not affect the ability to place Dropbox in your favorites bar.

 

@kenmagyar Making the decision to sunset collections was a difficult one. We had to take quite a few internal and external factors into consideration. There are no current plans to reinstate collections.

 

Regards,

Ben

How do I get my Starred folder back in the side menu where Collections is?  Since that change I can't get that option back in my side menu that is much more convenient then going to Home everytime.

Hi,

 

I don't understand the message, Is it means my drobox plan will be expired soon?

Ben I was advised clearly by Dropbox not to move the folder from the Cloud Storage folder to the Favourites Bar (Apple Mac), can you confirm I CAN do this please? Does it move it, or duplicate it? Does it update both folders if it's duplicated?

Excellent comment as I am playing with the thought of giving up my flickr account, as I can manouver better within dropbox and the replay options are similar.

Thanks Ben for the update: I hope you've had lots of positive feedback on the Collections option for Dropbox, and will be encouraged to revisit it in the near future, Ken
