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?

Thank you, Sam. I just noticed yesterday that not only did the alphabet grid bar disappear, but I don't see the actual scroll bar, making it even more difficult to move quickly through all my files. Was this a glitch or did you remove that permanently, too?

Hi Broadwaymhl 👋
Can you try scrolling down a little? You should see the file scrubber pop up. Let us know.
PS: Our team is working on improving this experience, we hope to have news soon.
Thanks,
Sam

It only works in the main Dropbox folder, not in the sub-folder. That just changed this week! I've had no trouble using the file scrubber pop-up in any folder before. That's no longer the case. I hope you can bring it back - please let me know! Thank you! Michael

- Badibiagio7 months agoHelpful | Level 6Hi, the scrubber function is VERY inconsistent and slow to navigate. I imagine I am not alone in the feeling. I would love to have the alphabet navigation back (please!).

Agree 100%. The new scrubber button is still imprecise, jerks around and is slow and hard to use. My live shows suffer due to this☹️
Please, Dropbox - - return the alphabet index. We are desperate and begging. PLEASE!!
