Alphabet navigation on ipad disappeared
The alphabet navigation disappeared on our ipad os version 16.7.2, dropbox version 362.7. We rely on that to navigate the numerous files we have. How do I get it back?
Do you mean the search bar? It is there. And why would you remove the alphabet navigation? That alone made it much more user friendly for those that are not technical. That is a fail on your part, for sure.

Community ManagerHi TroyP,
The alphabet navigation bar did not provide a consistent experience. We're currently looking into more user-friendly alternatives. In the meantime, a scroll bar should appear where the alphabet navigation bar was when you scroll down. If that doesn't appear, let me know and I'll pass that info onto our engineers.
Also Agree. The alpha index is crucial to me. I play in live musical shows and navigating my 300 songs quickly is vital to me. Please bring the index back!!!
Is it the tiny circle with 3 lines in it? Not impressed. Sometimes when you fix things, you really don't.
This is the only thing that shows up. I can touch and drag like a scroll bar. If you are going to name something a scroll bar, then maybe make it look like a bar and not an information bubble. Also, why does it have to be so tiny? Maybe take that to your engineers.
- Hi Ben
I agree with everyone else. If it’s an inconsistent experience, how about making it optional so that people who aren’t enjoying it don’t have to have it there. It’s just too valuable (as you can see from these comments) to just remove. It’s become so frustrating to navigate just with that tiny “scroll bar”!
