All of the above has been around for years. Very poor choice for a professional/working service. I get a link to open it in Dropbox where I've already established there's insufficient functionality. Can't even email a file to myself so I can work on it. Yet it lacks far to much functionality to do anything. Months can go by with that file still showing - and accessible.ħ) It's getting too difficult to get anything out of Dropbox. On the second attempt I get endless spinners or a message that it could not perform that action. People have been requesting DB address this weakness for years and nothing gets done.ģ) New features: Just the opposite, every year brings another reduction in features.Ĥ) Browser incompatibility: Must use Safari as DB is not fully functional with Chrome on a desktop.Ħ) Errors: Once you permanently delete a file don't expect it to go away. If there's anything in there you don't want people to see, you need to make sure your device is not accessible by anyone else. On the downside, there are some disturbing issues:ġ) Privacy: DB opens with the Recents page, including deleted files. I have had enough of Dropbox' walled garden approach and am now looking for another service.įor me, a long time Dropbox user, it's been a reliable service that's well accepted by other apps. We're getting a taste what life in the Dropbox world is going to be like once investors, vs users, are the priority.
Since their IPO announcement Dropbox has been going downhill. Xgh's Review of Dropbox Reviewed on 8/1/18 7:50 AM
The ultimate low functionality walled garden app star star_border star_border star_border star_border However, it still remains somewhat useful to me so I gave it three stars for the somewhat usefulness. This is not the only usability issue I have with Dropbox and I use Dropbox less than I would like because of these. You have to remember the date you took a photo or do a whole lot of scrolling if you have more than just a handful of photos (scrolling because of the screen space wasted by an iOS Moments view). Worse, Dropbox does not offer a way to select photos for upload using a view that’s in iOS Camera Roll order. Dropbox calls this “Camera Roll” even though it does not match the iOS Camera Roll. When manually selecting photos for upload from an iOS device, Dropbox is shows an iOS Moments view of iOS photos. However, I was not talking about automatic upload and did not use the term. The Developer’s reply discussed automatic photo upload. SeriouslyDave's Review of Dropbox Reviewed on 8/31/18 7:31 AM “Camera Roll” is not the same as iOS’s Camera Roll star star star star_border star_border I am frustrated when the basic law of modern economics that things get better and cheaper over time is rolled backwards by greedy present hedonistic executives. I am willing to pay for the Dropbox experience I had in 2012. Why do I not have the option of downloading an entire folder of content.

I have the option of downloading a file but that’s not that helpful to me if I need to download gigs of content for work.Īdditionally it limits the file size you are able to download to something between 50 and 100 megabytes.
Now I am not able to select more then one file. This gets one star until Dropbox realizes its existential purpose if transferring files from one computer to another computer and not one account to another account. I am unable to download any files from my Dropbox account to the local storage on my device. I have been trying to download a file from a paid account to my unpaid account. What is the point if you cannot download the files? Updated star star_border star_border star_border star_border
