Hello,

Facing the same issue with Dropbox assistance of no help. They basically told me - in a very rude manner - that it was no longer available, that they were not working on a solution and that if i wanted to see the preview, I should now download all the files... That kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it? I don't want to download all the picture / folder to preview them, rather the other way around. i need the preview to know which one to download... 

Shame, this was a nice feature. The customer service reply was below par and my satisfaction with dropbox thus diminished.
