View, download, and export

Is there a way that I can increase the size of the thumbnails? It would be very helpful when trying to organize my folders.
It turns out that the thumbnails are 32 x 32 pixels. Seriously?!? What planet are dropbox on that they think it's acceptable to display such pathetic thumbnails? Wow!
Currently looking for alternative solution to dropbox and the only reason is the thumbnails.
I fully agree. Let me know which alternative you settle for. I'm about to try Amazon Prime which appears to offer a lot of storage. I like a lot of Dropbox, but their contempt for their users must be pretty high when they cripple the interface as detailed in this thread.
I am using the album and/or file storage feature of OneDrive - the free version as well as the paid version within my Outlook 365. I can highly recommend that - although it is not highly adaptable, the thumbnails are much bigger and the folder mechanism is more or less the same as in Windows or Dropbox.
Dropbox customer support has a Twitter account - @DropboxSupport. I've started leaving them tweets referencing this exact problem. How long can they ignore it? Both Google Drive and One Drive offer tile view and larger thumbnails. I wish I had researched this better before I had signed up for a Pro account. Aside from this one issue, I love Dropbox and don't really want to kick them to the curb, but working with photos using a phone app or their website is a pain in the ass.
I am at least glad that I'm not the only that feels this way. What's pathetic is that there is no one who appears to do paid work for Dropbox is reading these comments. Now I have to decide if it's more of a pain in the ass to switch or to deal with the icon size as is here.
One solution I have adopted is to use Dropbox in conjunction with Google photos. Specifically
This solution, I feel, has several advantages
In CHROME I see both a Gallery and Thumbnail view option. Not so in FIREFOX (my main browser). Come on, DROPBOX!

Please enlighten the rest of us. I see no gallery and thumbnail option in CHROME. Only thumbnails.
Please add this feature SOON! please.
