Product Updates
Hi all
Welcome to another edition of our 'What's New in Dropbox'. If you missed any previous edition, you can read them all here.
The goal of this edition is to give you a bit more insights on what's happening in Dropbox and Dropbox Paper. You're welcome to add comments and feedback!
Thanks and have a great read 🙂
Hope you enjoyed it!
I like much of the new stuff, but miss e.g. the right-clicking and straight multi-file downloads.
I certainly like the new 'Recents' folder. It would be really great if we could have a 'go to containing folder' option in the file's [...] menu, for e.g. drag and drop of a downloaded and edited file from computers that cannot have the Dropbox client due to organizational administrative rules. I hope you guys can sneak that one in.
Hi @Matthew G.10, quick note that you can sort by file size on the web by clicking the "Members" column header a couple of times. This toggles that column to display different information – one of them being file size!
In the past I used to click the name of files and folders to open them. That was it.
Now, if I happen to have something selected, which happens so often due to the many tasks that are done, clicking on file and folder names no longer opens them! It selects them instead, even though I'm not clicking the selection checkbox on the left, even though I'm clicking the file name link!
This means that now in order to open a folder or file it's necessary to first unselect every file and folder that is checked, and only then click, instead of clicking straight away. And there is no reason for why you coded it like this. None.
There aren't many comments here. Why is the staff not replying with rational arguments to every single comment made? Why aren't they communicating with reason but are instead doing wrongful illogical changes?
Re clicking Members to get different information: Who designs this way?! While I'm happy (read: relieved) to have that functionality back (file size), I would NEVER have known about it if I hadn't been poking around in this forum. Functionality not visible in the UI is pretty useless. (So what now, I have to click on every... damned.... thing on every Dropbox page, to discover hidden, essential features?)
And please. We all know you're trying to be Google Drive, but be advised that Google UIs are, on the whole, terrible. So, don't try too hard!
Great!
