I'm not certain of this but could this issue of thumbnails not having a way to make larger for the sight impared, in some way a violation of the Americans With Disability Act???

Not trying to intimidate, was just thought that crossed my mind.

I also have extremely hard time trying to even guess what something is via such small thumbnails & certainly appreciate team Dropbox for looking for solution for this issue 

Thx!!!

Sounds like its an ongoing "drama". Why cant DP simply address it and look at why and why not right now? Maybe its simply money driven issue?

Dropbox has had an issue over the weekend where thumbnails were failing. 

They are fixed now though.

Hello development team,

Would Dropbox ever consider offering different Folder Views (i.e. Extra Large Thumbnails, Large Thumbnails, Small Icons, etc).

The current "list" view with the extra tiny thumbnails are extremely difficult to view when viewing a folder full of PHOTOS.

When you look at a folder full of photos on your computer, don't you immediately switch to LARGE ICON VIEW? Dropbox web users would like the same feature.

Thank you.

Moved to Product Feedback.

And, for my personal opinion...

When you look at a folder full of photos on your computer, don't you immediately switch to LARGE ICON VIEW?

Never.

I seriously can't see my files with the tiny thumbnails. I have a paid account. Thinking I need to drop DropBox all together if this doesn't get fixed.

Horrible interface. Why can't dropbox fix this already???

It would be awesome if Dropbox could copy OneDrive's folder photo thumbnail view. It doesn't even require you to create a new album to view it - they are automatically generated when accessing the selected folder of photos.
