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 ...
Is this no icon preview issue universal? If so, I don’t see how any creative professional, or anyone who works with images would choose to work with Dropbox. Lacking previews wouid be a fatal flaw. That said, I’ve not heard of a mass exodus, so why is this? Is it just the scores of us on this thread? Do you know of other DB users who can see previews? I’m looking for some hope that the issue is isolated and can somehow be resolved. Is DB even listening? Do they monitor the community?
hello BenDBX and Walter.
It's been since May that we don't hear back on this thread.
I'm tagging you directly because if you scroll trough this thread you'll notice how we feel literally abandoned from Dropbox Support.
Considering that we are paying for this service, this absolutely doesn't make any sense to me.
Please NOTE that this is not a small issue, as we are basically working on the files in BLIND, without previewing files.
I hope you'll reply with some updates asap.
Adding the the list of DISCONTENT users. I've been following this thread for a while now. My workaround in the past has been using Adobe Bridge, but now corporate IT is not allowing us to use this program. PLEASE FIX THIS DROPBOX.
This is ridiculous. I have the latest dropbox update and having no thumbnail previews completely destroys the workflow. Looking for another file hosting service. BYE DROPBOX.
