Re: Option to create QR Code is missing

support_rgh

Hello,

A few weeks ago I created PNG photos with QR codes directly from the folders I wanted to share om dropbox.com. Today I tried to do the same and the option to create and download a QR code is gone...How can I fix it?

Please bring back this option. It was very useful and a critical component to my development of a music related board game.

Thanks

Please make more careful consideration and add the QR codes back. Terrible decision.

This is unfortunate. Being able to create a QR directly from Dropbox is what incentivized me to move totally to Dropbox from Onedrive. Any chance this can be added in the future? Also, what about the QR codes already created, how long will they work for? - April

Hey @aprilm - thanks for your feedback on this.

When it comes to your concern, note that technically QR codes never expire per se, it's just a form of visualizing a URL, understandable by any QR reader.

However, the permissions for a QR code linking to Dropbox content are based on the sharing settings you choose when you generate the link for viewing, and it can make an impact if QR code let you see that content or not.

I hope this clears things up a tad!

Hello Sam. Why would this feature be removed?

Hi @Sanchez Homes ,

Unfortunately, I can't fully comment on our Product Team's decisions, but I can confirm that we've run the QR Codes on Web as an experiment. We are still monitoring feedback and passing it along internally, if anything changes, we'll update the Community!

Thanks Sam. I hope the decision is to include that option. It is a valuable tool that keeps your clients on your platform.
