Image Zoom and Scale Default

I'd like to add my vote to this -- images that are previewed on the Dropbox website are not scaling with the browser window size. This is a recent change. Now, photos scale to 100% zoom automatically on Dropbox.
And like approaching12am, this change makes Dropbox ineffective for me. Many photographers, like myself, share folders of photos with clients so they can review. With this change, the client cannot look through a folder of images on Dropbox.com or using their browser, because the photos automatically scale to 100%. The client cannot see the full image unless they click to resize each image individually.
This means that I cannot use Dropbox to share photos with others - clients or otherwise. It is unreasonable to ask someone to browse a folder of photos and resize each photo as they click through the folder of images. Until this is fixed, I will be sending folders of photos via WeTransfer. Really disappointing, Dropbox.

I can't use dropbox if they can not fix this issue and I would think many have an issue with having to individually click on each image to change the sizes. They should all remain same size as the initial image uploaded
