I've just seen the banner that says "The Photos page is changing on 30 June 2017 but your pictures will stay safe in your Dropbox account. Learn more". The gist is that they are removing the final re...
Hi everyone,
Thanks again for your continued feedback on our upcoming changes.
I wanted to let you know that we've heard your concerns about how difficult it is to preserve your album structures in Dropbox. Our engineers have created a simple album export tool to help make this process easier. It's available starting today at the following URL:
www.dropbox.com/photos/album_download
The tool will allow you to download your albums to your desktop as .zip files. Please note that you'll be downloading a new copy of your photos, not moving them, so the photos will still exist in your Dropbox in the original location you saved them.We hope this tool will help alleviate some of the frustration that some of you have reported in this thread. If you have any problems using the tool, feel free to contact us via www.dropbox.com/support.
Regards,
Richard
There is already a discusstion with the same titiel, however as it has been marked as "Solved" by Dropbox it is no longer getting any replies or attention from Dropbox despite several recent comments and questions.
A few people have questioned that this is because it is marked by Dropbox as "Solved" and so I have started this thread. Please can Dropbox either mark the original thread as Unsolved, and if not, allow this ne to continue until it is.
This is the link t the original thread https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Photos-and-videos/The-Photos-page-is-changing/m-p/219683#M8234
Of course people can see all of the comments in the other link however to summarise, DROPBOX are "sunsetting" as they put it, in other words getting rid of all clients existing photo albums. They will all be deleted from June 30th. These albums have taken people weeks and years to compile. Many users have 10000 or more photos all classified into ALBUMS.
From June 30th Dropbox will delete these albums and the current Timeline facility
Users are being given between now and the end of June to download all of the photos (thousands) from their albums, and re upload them where they will have to be uploaded again and saved into folders.
These new folders will use alot more DROPBOX space, because if a single photo is in multiple folders it will of course use alot more space than the previous solution
Effectively the photo section of DROPBOX is being dropped.
Dropbox are not even offering to migrate existing albums into folders but leaving their clients to deal with the ridiculous decision
I urge all people effected to post this onto your own Facebook pages and if you know any journalists or other forums, to make our voice heard.
