Photos in Local sync DropBox folder not showing thumbnails
I have a folder with over 20000 photos syncing locally on a Windows 11 Pro computer. When viewing the folder, the large icon view option in File Explorer is not showing the thumbnail of the photo. ...
I'm encountering the exact same problem here but even if i disable OneDrive it still doesn't seem to help. my thumbnails still does not show pictures, its all just icon. its very frustrating. its not exactly cheap to maintain a cloud service annually, considering external hardisk is getting cheaper and faster now. Dropbox please provide a legit workable solution or the industry has just become more competitive for you.
i know this issue has been brought up over and over again but dropbox seems like does not have a proper solution up till this day.
i have to literally guess what picture is it and click one by one to check as i need to use them for my presentation. bear in mind, i have literally 10's and thousand of pictures in this folder.
to sort of "speed" this up, i have to look through my phone to which pictures i need and then locate it in my laptop using dates and number of the picture.
its super frustrating and super backward in terms of technology. dropbox was suppose to ease my synchronizing work between devices and now here i am back to year 1990 tech. well at least 1990 we dont need to pay subscription for the tech at that time.
