Product Updates
If you have questions or feedback abou the new dropbox.com, please comment below.
It's now impossible to see the file size on files without a workaround involving Version History. Why can't there just be a Size column?
Overall I think the new design is nice. It's cleaner and easy for me to navigate. My only request would be for the account menu to once again display the total size of our dropbox files (for example, 500gb of 1 tb used). That used to be listed in the account menu and I thought it was a very handy way to keep track of how much space we still had remaining. Interestingly enough, on the post explaining the changes and in the help section the account menu still displays this info. If that could be returned to the main dropbox area where our files are displayed, I think it would continue to be very useful.
Thanks for your time.
FFS! Filesize gone, total space used gone, checkboxes can't be disabled. Dropbox is an airhead; looks pretty, but lacks basic functionality.
Yes, we know why you removed the file space things; it forces people to pay for your service, which has declined and declined over the years.
MEGA, here I come.
I'm not a fan of the new design if I'm honest... It looks "too big" first of all, looks cluttered on the right (okay it looked better after I closed the box about trying Dropbox Business), and having the share button appear partially overlapped with members just looks wrong, like a mistake in the CSS, also adding to cluttered feel.
Also I miss the space used vs available that feels like it's always been available my account name.
For that matter where is my account name?? Sure there is still that icon but I preferred the look with the name and the little triangle to help indicate there was a menu there.
I am very glad I can opt-out for now... or more accurately un-opt-in to something I didn't opt-in for in the first place...
Hi @spongeworthy – just a heads up that you can click the "Members" column header to swap what it displays. If you click it a couple of times, it will show file size.
For the most part, the new design is fresh and clean. Nice work. One request though... The ability to navigate up levels in the folders is missing. The breadcrumbs are available when you are directly in your dropbox, but if someone shares you a link, and it has multiple folders the UI changes and there are no breadcrumbs. Upon clicking nested folders, there is no way to go back without clicking the browser back button.
Why is right-click disabled?
This seems a pretty stupid decision to me, because now I need a mouse movement and I have a smaller action area to click, very far away from the checkboxes.
Before, I could just hover over and select a file, and use my mouse to right click and do things.
Now, to do the same action, I have a small area.
Why does everybody these days hate right-clicking?
How can I go back to the old website?
I've been asking myself that very same question since the day the new site launched. I stopped asking a long time ago.
Just wanted to drop back in to say thank you for adding our dropbox usage back on the menu. I just went to sign out and saw the total storage size of my files where it always used to be. Thank you.
