Alphabet slider on the Dropbox app on iOS doesn't work with folders
On Dropbox app iPhone iOS 15 There is an alphabet slider that you can use to jump to different parts of your dropbox quickly. You used to be able to use it for any file in dropbox, but now it doesn’...
Hello! Unfortunately we no longer have the alphabet slider, but we do have a new file scrubber to help you quickly scroll through your files. If you tap, hold, and drag the file scrubber down you should be able to easily scroll through your content. When scrolling through files specifically, you'll be able to see the first letter of the files you're scrolling through as well. I have included a screenshot of what the experience looks like below! Hope this helps.
This is not an acceptable solution. It’s still is not as savvy as the alphabet bar, and it does not function as quickly either. Additionally, it does not extend to folders so you are still stuck using a regular arrow scrubber. So many people have asked for this to be resolved by bringing back the original alphabet scrubber. I realize that it may be difficult, clearly there seems to be some type of code conflict that you guys seem to be unable to resolve or something? Regardless, this isn’t a situation of people being stuck in the past and unable to let go of a function that’s no longer serving them. This function was extremely paramount in quickly, easily, and accurately navigating a dropbox with several hundreds of folders. Please take this time to really read through your now several threads regarding this issue and listen to your users. We do pay for service, and with that we have expectations we hope you uphold and I hope you decide to do better by your community base
Agreed!
