Using Dropbox to share photo galleries
Is there a simple way to generate a public link for a Dropbox folder that presents to a new user as a gallery? This seems like a very basic idea, and should be core to Dropbox functionality. "I'm ready to share my photos with my customer. Here's the link to the gallery"
The link only goes to a file list by default. Yes, a user can choose the 'large grid' from the hamburger menu, but the user experience is dreadful here, particularly if you're a professional photographer or someone trying to make a good impression on a customer.
Request: a link that presents a pleasant gallery of photos or images. Not just a file list.
Hi Dave S.31, thanks for messaging the Community.
Currently, it isn't possible to default to the grid layout to view the images as a gallery in a shared link.
If you wish, you can suggest this change for others to vote on, so the dev team can look into this in future!

No default grid view - wow that is too bad - seems like file display management 101.
