- Hey people, how are you all doing?
First of all, thanks a lot for your thoughts and comments. They surely help a lot to understand what you want on your end.
Keep in mind that Dropbox remains focused on helping our customers stay organized and work more efficiently. With this focus, we’re simplifying your desktop experience with improvements to Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, and the taskbar/menu bar.
Support for the desktop window ends on January 17, 2022.
Don’t worry—we're continuing to support a great desktop app experience for you and your content is still safe with us.
Save, view, share, and access all your files with the Dropbox folder in Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, the taskbar/menu bar, on dropbox.com, and with the latest iOS and Android apps.
If you need me, give me a shout.
I want the desktop app back. I loved that in the app I could open my files to Illustrator/Photoshop... now projects are taking me twice as long because I have to find the folder, nothing is in the same order, it takes longer to open it in a program. This was a horrible move on their part and has me considering something else. My work flow for today has been horrendous trying to navigate folders. I really hope they rework the desktop app and bring it back. The Finder on Mac process is not working for me, and is costing me time, which is impact my end clients. Fix it Dropbox.
i ONE THOUSAND percent feel your pain. I spend most of my day in Illustrator , and the rest working in the Desktop App where I create files/projects for my team and clients.
The last week has been ABSOLUTE TRASH. I have wasted so many hours searching for where my stuff is.. and how can I collab with clients in a concise/beautiful manner we are used to and pay a lot for.
I've been spending the last 4 hours this evening moving all of my files over to different cloud options that I'm testing ... because after years of loyalty and thousands of dollars, Im breaking up with Dropbox.
I feel silly to be this mad about a freaking app, but y'all have killed my workflow and really screwed things up.
Currently testing Box, JumpShare, Sync & giving Google Drive one more shot too.
