Hey.... 2019!!!

 

Still can't delete a photo directly from the "Photos" section of Dropbox.

 

Remember when we were promised all the old Carousel functionality was going to get rolled into just Dropbox?  Never happened!

Why is it I can select multiple photos on my phone in dropbox and delete them (or share them with a link) but I can't on DB's website? 

This is a joke.  As soon as I find something better I am out.
