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.
As described in this thread, the new version of dropbox backup is great but has a major downside: files stored via backups can no longer be accessed within the dropbox app! Quoting @mbriney from ...
I couldn't agree more. I had the awful idea to switch to backups and the main functionality I used to have (access to all my files _immediately_ from all devices) is now gone. This sucks big time. And apparently it's been reported more than a year ago. Access via the app is paramount. The browser access is not really a substitute. A patch, maybe (?), but not even close to a substitute.
Considering switching to a different similar service (ANY other) that provides this *basic* feature.
