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

Using folders instead of doubling this functionality by creating albums makes sense. I'm looking forward to the changes and a hopefully improved interface, though the current one is already quite good.

I don't think you understand the difference between a folder and an album. A folder requires a file to be in one place and only one place. An album adds meta data to a file, which allows it to exist in more than one folder. They are fundamentally different. Also, removing the ability to share albums means you have to duplicate files if you want to share them from more than one folder. If you're looking forward to this, it's because you don't understand that a major piece of functionality has been removed. You think this many people are complaining about an upgrade?
