Is it just me or do any of you guys remember back when you could use dropbox to EASILY and painlessly send 100 High res photos to a customer for proofing or delivery, and it was smooth, with no hiccups . . . . ??
they now make it so hard for people to simply VIEW the files of account-holders. It's quite difficult to send a link out without a client saying "it keeps asking me to make an account"
what happened to the OLD dropbox philosophies?
I almost lost 2 customers last week because they were in a hurry to download their goods from a shoot 2 years ago, and they absolutely had a nightmare of a time both on their ipad, and their friends desktop computer . . . granted they are not the most tech savvy but they've been receiving files from me using dropbox for 10+ years. . . . .
This might be the PUSH i've needed to migrate everything over to my Synology Device exclusively - especially now that they are offering their new cloud backup option which scales amazingly well! i've been a PRO dropbox Business paying customer for a decade - even though I had my synology - but the "EASE OF USE" was worth it for delivering thousands of photos to clients every year -
however lately, clients are fed up with the constant "bait & switch" to view one of my links only to get a message saying "YOUR DROPBOX IS FULL" - they then try to sign out of their free account, and do it again, but it AUTOLOGINS . . . . through the APP on their phone .
So I then suggest deleting the app, removing their login info from their browsers, and I then, have to CHANGE MY ENTIRE organization structure by moving their assets to PUBLIC folder - - - I even have to tell them the tricks like "change the 1 at the end of the link to a ZERO" (which is now the only way we were able to solve this debacle"
