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!
Thank you! Can we create a petition to bring back QR codes? Ha! But seriously?

Happy to sign that petition........
