You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
The single most important reason our business chose to stay with Dropbox and not switch to Google Drive (which we have a subscription for with Google Workspace) or OneDrive/Sharepoint (which we have ...
dimitrievenflow and Emmet - from my testing here, nothing has changed. The functionality you're pointing to is the same as when I posted this. Dropbox has had this feature for years, the problem I tried to point to is that it could be implemented so much better.
Here's the workflow is currently:
->Copy dropbox link
->send to teammate
->teammate follows url to the dropbox file viewer. There is no option here to open in file explorer / finder.
->teammate navigates to "go to folder"
->teammate waits for dropbox web to communicate with desktop client (this is why some are reporting the option is only there sometimes - it takes time)
->teammate clicks on "Show in File Explorer"
-teammate navigates to the file that had originally been sent. Sometimes it is hard to find if there are many files in the folder, but dropbox forces you to navigate away to the folder to have access to the "show in file explorer" option.
Here's how dropbox should implement this.
-Copy dropbox link
-send to teammate
-teammate follows url to file viewer, where there is a button at the top of the page (and not burried in some context menu) to follow "show in file explorer".
Even better, dropbox could implement a "Copy dropbox link as relative path" option in the desktop user's context menu. The workflow would be:
-Copy dropbox link as relative path"
-Send to teammate
-Teammate clicks the link and a file explorer window opens the folder with the file selected without ever having to open a browser.
