Paper – We love taking notes in Paper, but they get lost in the ether of the Paper app which essentially requires its own filing system separate from DB itself.Camer Upload – This feature on iPhone simply does not work unless you have the Dropbox app open.This left a huge opening for Google Photos. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot with the decision to discontinue this one. Carousel – Our family used to love that app for viewing photos in DB.Some other gripes I'll list so that this doesn't become too long of a post: Sure, if you're starting with a fresh account, you'll likely use groups and have your sharing worked out, but with over a decade of sharing, contractors, and clients, you'll find it virtually impossible to truely understand the web of sharing within any given account or top-level folder. There's no bulk or recursive way to re-permission a parent folder and all folders within it. If anyone has a legacy account such as ours, you'll know how difficult it is to unshare certain folders or simply remove certain guests throughout your account. Previews are so low res that we literally send proofs to clients as attachments to avoid the back-and-forth, whether it's videos, PDFs or images. Previews weren't this low res in the past, and no, it has nothing to do with my internet connection.
For example, the previews Dropbox displays are such low quality that I'm forced to download a file just to proof it.
Dropbox has failed to innovate in my opinion and the core service is not much better than it was some years ago in fact, some things have gotten worse.
I might be venting somewhat here, but in case someone from Dropbox reads this, maybe it will offer some insights. This issue was kind of the icing on the cake for us. We have finally made the decision to migrate from Dropbox to Google Drive. Our team shared at the time between personal accounts. Our company has been with Dropbox since the very early days, before they offered Business accounts.
