Grid View when accessing shared folders through shared links?

[Teresa H.13]

I find it incredibly frustrating that I cannot view images in a folder by grid. The idea of creating an album for each folder seems crazy -- especially as those folders seem to be on a per account basis rather than across our cloud storage.

I find it frustrating that I would have to then search for an album in a non list way to view its contents, which with the 60+ albums I'd have to make, could become impossible quite quickly, when all I want is to be able to view the contents of a folder in grid view. If this is something that an archaic system lik Microsoft can offer, dropbox should be able to offer it as well.

Completely agree. If you have a shared folder link that you navigate to while logged out, you can see a grid view option. It's really an odd omission that this is not available in a folder view when logged in.

Agreed. That's the only reason I don't use Dropbox to manage my photos...

Is there a way to force Photo Grid in a link?

No.

I totally agree with this. I'm a graphic designer and often share a drobox link to a moodboard with a client. As I never know if they have Drobox or not I have no way of knowing if they are seeing a list view (e.g. if they added the folder to their Dropobox) or grid view (if the haven't added the folder or aren't logged in).  It seems like such a basic feature that it's omission is probaby deliberate - for example to engourage users to use the desktop app and not rely too heavily on the web interface.  @ the Dropbox team... if you're out there, grid view would be a great feature and would help a lot of creatives & designers.
