Community ManagerHi Everybody,
Thanks for your input here. I will clarify for users who are not part of the Collections beta.
Collections is a beta that allows users to compile boards of documents, files, photos, etc. Laetitia Keyrouz if you are part of the beta, you would see it on the navigation bar on the left hand side of your Dropbox when you log in, as in the image below.
Marisa D.1 This will not affect the ability to place Dropbox in your favorites bar.
kenmagyar Making the decision to sunset collections was a difficult one. We had to take quite a few internal and external factors into consideration. There are no current plans to reinstate collections.

This is incredibly disappointing. Being able to create a collection of videos without moving or duplicating the original video has been incredibly valuable. This feature has become standardized in our procedures, and we may have to change providers if we lose this option. Please let me know what you'll be implementing to replace this feature, or how we can continue to use collections, whether its a paid add on, or we are grandfathered into it as Beta users.
Thanks Ben for the update: I hope you've had lots of positive feedback on the Collections option for Dropbox, and will be encouraged to revisit it in the near future, Ken
Ben I was advised clearly by Dropbox not to move the folder from the Cloud Storage folder to the Favourites Bar (Apple Mac), can you confirm I CAN do this please? Does it move it, or duplicate it? Does it update both folders if it's duplicated?

Hi Marisa D.1
Please follow support's guidance regarding your folder. The Collections beta and its closure are unrelated to the mac file system.

is there away to get out of Beta earlier ... like right now?
