You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
I need to be able to send files to people without a Dropbox account, but can't anymore.
I received an email from Dropbox this morning that said, "Please sign in!We noticed you're not taking advantage of your Dropbox account." That's right, I'm not, I haven't been signing in, and I'll tell you why. I always used Dropbox to share files with other people. If I'm not mistaken, you ruined that functionality by suddenly insisting that the only people you could share files with were those who had Dropbox accounts themselves. This made Dropbox essentially useless, at least to me and I'm sure to many others. Restore your previous functionality and I'll be happy to again sign into my account and take advantage of it. Thank you.
Bring back File Request option in File Explorer.
I used to be able to initiate a "Request Files" by right clicking on the file I wanted the documents to go into. This is more efficient that having to go to the web version, as I 99.9% work out of the File Explorer on my PC. Please bring back the option to "Request Files" in the right click menu.
Remove "Log in or sign up" Popup when downloading from a shared link
We recently chose Dropbox as the best-looking and most functional drive-sharing tool for our video production company. However, there's an annoying popup prompting clients to log in or sign up when we share links. The "Continue with download only" button is easily missed, especially by older clients, making us look unprofessional. It's frustrating that such a customizable platform has this issue. We hope for a solution soon!
