Re: Swiping through photos full-screen on an Android phone in the Dropbox mobile app

Swiping through photos full-screen on an Android phone in the Dropbox mobile app

Hi,

 

I would love to be able to swipe through full-screen photos in the Dropbox folders on my Android phone.

 

At the moment, I have to click to open the photo to full-screen, click to reduce it again, choose another photo, and click to open that. It’s downright embarrassing when I’m showing photos to my friends on my phone that I have the functionality and speed of a 15-year-old phone just because I’m using Dropbox.

 

I would love to be able to show the photo full-screen and then swipe through my Dropbox photos the way I can with photos in my Gallery.

 

I see other users have the same problem.

I’ve tried to solve the issue by setting Dropbox to open photos through a gallery app, but this makes the problem even worse. Using one of these apps (which works perfectly for non-Dropbox photos) is a navigation nightmare when opening Dropbox photos.

 

Again, I see that other users have been struggling with this.

Please tell me if you already have a way for me to swipe through photos in my Dropbox folders. If not, please fix it.

 

Thank you

I was just making sure we're on the same page there @Water-Air  - thanks for your nudge on this.

 

The option to swipe through your photos is available when previewing them normally at this time, not full-screen. 

 

That said, note that I've noted your feedback in our system and you can let us know if you have anything else to add.
