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
The coyness with which Dropbox announced this change, and the lack of support for those who use albums (fortunately I am not among them) strongly smells like trying to put a happy face on a licensing or patent infringement issue. If not -- if they simply have made a decision to throw existing code, and with it all their photo users down the memory hole -- then they're just idiots. Either way, their messaging sucks.
Charles,
It's not only that. If you want to share a video with someone ,the link no longer supports browser playback. Just a download. The videos won't play in the browser at all like they have been for years. No warning given.
- Very curious behavior, indeed.
