You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

How to view previews of online-only files on desktop (like how you can in the mobile app)? - macOS
I'm trying to figure out how to see previews, specifically of .jpeg online files, on my mac desktop. I use Dropbox almost exclusively for photo management and it's frustrating not even being able to ...
I'm thinking of going with iDRIVE but havent jumped ship yet! 🙂

HOW is it possible that this is still not fixed.
helloooooo??? dropbox???
Yes, it is disappointing that the issue of missing previews has not been resolved. I can't help thinking it's a problem with the Mac finder, rather than a Dropbox issue. You would hope that Dropbox and Apple, both certainly hearing complaints, would work together to figure it out, but that type of coordination/cooperation rarely happens.
I get the feeling it's not a Mac issue, because I have both Personal and Teams dropbox and it works fine on Personal - the thumbnails render even when the file is not downloaded.
Same issue here, it's rendering Dropbox pointless for me. Shame my annual subscription just renewed too as I can't stick with another year of this.
GDrive seems to work properly for me, I can search and see previews of files. Very close to binning off Dropbox after years and years of use for a Google One account.
Also Google Drive works great. Definitely a Dropbox issue.
yeah - im getting a bit sick and tired of this issue and DropBox inertia to resolve it...better hurry before we start jumping ship and trying google drive!
