How useless is that? Is it too much to ask for an interface to my files that allows me to simply scroll through images? That means I have to open each image, one by one, in a separate app. It should at least include basic features, such as full-resolution views, folder-specific view settings (thumbnail views for folders with photos), adjustable thumbnail sizes, searching, and so on.Ĭritically, I cannot even view images at full resolution in the mobile Dropbox app, making some unusable. On my mobile device, specifically, I would be happy with the current app for photos if it allowed much better viewing and organizing options, such as those noted by others. This lack of separation of photos is one of the major reasons I never used Carousel when it was available.Įxtra features like object detection, basic editing features, etc would be nice, but absolutely not necessary to motivate me to upgrade to a paid plan. I believe this is currently possible through albums and using the Camera Uploads folder, but it isn't nearly polished enough to be a standalone photo viewer. Just like Google Photos does not show me every image I have in Google Drive, I would want Dropbox Photos to only show me photos that were taken on my phone or specifically added to the folder where camera uploads are stored. The difference between the current photos implementation and what I'd like is that I don't want ALL photos in Dropbox to be part of this photos app. I would just need for their to be a basic viewer so I can quickly find specific photos years later (which means sorting/filtering by date and location). Google Photos would remain my daily app, but I would periodically dump all my photos into Dropbox for long term storage and delete them from Google Photos. Something that makes it easy to view photos by date and location, nothing overly fancy. I would happily sign up for a paid Dropbox plan if there were a basic photo viewer. I currently use Google Photos because it is free, but now that the free storage is going away, I'm looking for alternatives.
