Auto-updates: Everyone who chose "Include me on early releases" on the Settings page

This is an early release feature that is subject to these additional terms.

  • share option in Finder is gone!!!

    Please bring it back!!!

    …going to browser UI ("View at Dropbox.com") and then "share" has unnecessary more steps!!!

    please bring back the share option in Finder!!

    I used it almost every day and its sooo annoying to do the extra steps via browser now.

    thanks!

      Please reinstate the share option from the finder on OS X. It has disappeared with no warning and has very much impacted mine and other peoples workflows. A lot of us pay for Dropbox professional and we need professional software that is reliable and flexible. Being told that it is better as we won’t accidentally share files is very patronising to many of us. Maybe make a checkbox that we can switch on with a warning (like Apple does when opening a disk image). This is a major feature change and one that has been foisted upon your customers with no notice and no choice or prior release notes as Dropbox auto updates. We would all appreciate this being turned back on again as an option. I hope that someone from support will reply to this with something other than the standard response that ‘this is how it is now…’

      Regards

    Bring back sharing option from Finder !!! 

    Nobody has asked for an extra Dropbox Backup folder !!!! You have ruined my settings and way of functioning, such a great waste of time now figuring out how to deal with everything.

    Extremely Frustrated at the sudden change in feature not allowing sharing from dropbox backup. This was one of the main reasons I use this service so I can access all my files easily where ever i am and be able to share them instantly.

     

    Will have to cancel my service if this isn't reinstated.

    I have tons of project files that rely on my current file structure for sharing/transfer. Moving them out of "backups" would break every single one. Please don't. Just don't.
