Hey Martyn, sorry to jump in here, but I just want to clarify that we have recently made a change to the Dropbox Android mobile application that has removed the "Albums" from the Photos tab. This change didn’t remove photos or videos you’ve uploaded to the app.
You can still find your uploaded photos and videos in the Photos tab or at dropbox.com/photos
For this and more common fixes for the Android app, you can check out this Help Center article.
I hope this helps!

... as I understand it, Dropbox absolutely removed both the "Albums" TAB and this functionality AT ALL ??? This is such an utter game that there are no words! Excuse me, what do your programmers and marketers think there? Albums, the ability to create a hierarchy, themes, just group photo materials - this is perhaps the most important thing in working with photos! Who the hell needs a stupid bunch of thousands of photos when you can't scroll through/find what you need! I'M JUST IN TRANS!
How do you people deal with this?
P.S. I am shocked by this "achievement" of Dropbox.
