I created Albums on my android device, why can't I see them anywhere else?
I have put about 3k photos in to albums on my mobile android. It has obviously taken forever. Now I have logged on to my pc to start a project to make photo books and I can't find the albums?! This is a disaster...can anyone tell me where they would be in the ablum format. They are just there in photos in time (ish) order!!
Thank you!

Wow. This is really horrible for me. I have years of trips organized into albums, thousands of photos. Actually this was the primary reason I went with dropbox. Is there no way to save or export this data?
I created an album using the Dropbox app on my Android phone last week.
I want to add another picture to that album using the Dropbox website. I can't figure out how to do that. I went to the Photos section and found the photo, but I don't know what to do from there.
There's an answer to this question from 2016: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Photos-videos/How-can-I-add-photos-to-an-album/m-p/199428#M7238. However, that doesn't work for me -- when I right-click on the photo (in Firefox and Chrome), I get the browser context menu. There's no "Add to album" option.

In addition to albums, sort by EXIF data is only available on Android (maybe iOS, I have no idea) too! Clearly the Android app is trying to replicate a gallery which I really like, but the experience is absolutely half baked. At the very least if there are no plans to add it to desktop, at least remove it from Android. It has been a terribly frustrating experience trying Dropbox out.
