Dear Rich I've been trying to download these zips and its time consuming because half of them get an error message " Failed... Network Error" Are other people also having this problem? So I have to keep retrying and sometimes they do sometimes they don't. Some arent downloading at all

Just checking if these posts are uploading ok. I have now migrated to google photos for the time being although from what I understand the picture quality is much smaller..... works brilliantly for sharing albums etc but not a final solution for keeping photos in original format.

I renewed automatically recently but have cancelled and removed my credit card and will spend the next year gradually moving evertything away from dropbox. I don't have time to commit 30 full time hours on photos alone and then hours on all my other files, but this photo issue has made me lose all faith in dropbox,…

This summary is the problem Ther is no solution ifor those of us that will have do download thousands of photos already in albums and re sort them into folders. Only eeks and weeks of work. Dropbox should at least move our current albums into folders

Thanks Rich and Mark for that clarification. As you have a close relationship with DROPBOX and have direct contact with them, something we as normal users do not have, can you tell us or give us an idea as to when or if we are likely to receive replies to the multitude of questions raised by various users on this topic and…

Dear Mark I of course agree with you and I do not really understand the "Super User" title, but it appears it has been marked by another "Super User" as solved, and that "Super User" Rich has merged all threads into one, including the new one I started as "Chapter 2, not solved" This is all very frustrating. Perhaps as a…

Please can everyone double post ie here but also in the new thread as this one is down as "solved" by DROPBOX and so no longer receiving attention: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Photos-and-videos/The-Photos-Page-is-Changing-Chapter-2-UNSOLVED/m-p/219730#M8250

Thanks for your contribution to this page brwaith. It is quite incredible that DROPBOX are not replying (yet) to this new thread.

I've heard GOOGLE photos and Google Drive might be the way to go.

We understand this decision impacts the way you share and organize your photos, and we’d like to address a few points of confusion. After June 30, the web Photos page will continue to be a place where…

Of course people can see all of the comments in the other link however to summarise, DROPBOX are "sunsetting" as they put it, in other words getting rid of all clients existing photo albums. They will all be deleted from June 30th. These albums have taken people weeks and years to compile. Many users have 10000 or more…

This thread has been marked by DROPBOX as SOLVED!

Please not this is NOT a solution and it is not accepted by people posting on here. Please look at the most recent comments page 9. This should not be marked by DROPBOX as "Solved" because it is definately not solved. One of your clients has 10000 photos you are asking him to download manually and then re sort into albums.…

There is already a discusstion with the same titiel, however as it has been marked as "Solved" by Dropbox it is no longer getting any replies or attention from Dropbox despite several recent comments and questions. A few people have questioned that this is because it is marked by Dropbox as "Solved" and so I have started…

In case you are right,. I am going to start a new trhead with the Title "The Photos Page is Changing Chapter 2. UNSOLVED" Lets see if that gives it any more attention as it appears Dropbox have stopped replying to peoples questions in this thread. Also if anyone knows any journalists or has time to contact any of their…

This is now down as "solved" on your main page. It is not "solved". Users are going to have to spend days and in some case weeks downloading photos from current albums and then re uploading them into shared folders. I think you will find alot of people will be reuploading them elsewhere! In addition, if a user wants the…

Thanks for that link. @"Mike H.57" wrote:For those thinking of switching, as I am, here is a recent of photo sharing sites https://www.cnet.com/how-to/comparing-the-best-ways-to-store-your-photos-online/ I am thinking either Flickr or Google Photos.

Maybe also share as a public post on your own facebook and share it

My Facebook post on their page is being "moderated". Please can everyone post on it anyway and also click on the "like" at the top of this page

When I tried to post I see it is now being "moderated" Please also post in this link below which is specifically about albums and post to their FB page anyway. Maybe whoever is moderating will pass it on. https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Community-improvements/End-of-photo-albums-is-terrible-idea/idc-p/219068#M112

I just posted on DROPBOX FACEBOOK PAGE RE this issue I urge all people affected to do the same in the hope we can stop this

I just posted on DROPBOX facebook page on this issue Please do the same if the removal of this funtion will affect you

I couldn't agree more. I absolutely rely on being able to share photo albums. And have spent considerable time creating them - and now they are going to DELETE my photo albums. I am new to this forum as have never had to complain in the past, is there anything that can be done to stop this if enough people complait I URGE…

This is also my understanding. I just can't believe it. Is there anything we can do to stop this? So photo albums I have shared previously those people will no longer have access to. Importantly I shared one recently that could be part of a lawsuit - ie to show the album that was shared at the time concerning shoddy…

AS you say, go through a load of complicated steps to re creat what I have already spent considerable time creating. 

I am so so upset about this Sharing albums was very helpful to a small business for many reasons And they are actually going to get rid of my existing albums Gutted WHY? @"SonomaRose" wrote:...go through a number of complicated steps?
