They have products like Carousel, which is not even capable of sharing photo albums with others with a direct URL, which was the number one core feature Dropbox had since one day.
Meanwhile the competitors all support it (Flickr, Google Photos, etc..). I'm clueless why they neglect it but it's just silly not to do. When you think of how everyone is trying to get the Photos scene right.
- gcr 11y agoCarousel has always supported that. Select some photos, "Share", then "Get Link". The recipient doesn't need an account. They can also download as a .zip file. (The recipient learns your full name though, so I don't want to give you an example link... But this has always worked great for me.)
- farslan 11y agoUnfortunately this is not true. There is no way you can download a .zip file from an Album shared from Carousel. Here is even a support case with users complaining: https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/202143075-How-do-I-share-an-Album-in-Carousel-via-a-link- https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions... I've discovered this when I shared an Album with my friend with over 300 photos. He was not able to download them all, I've just stopped using it at that step. Because they imho want users to sign up and include the photos in their accounts. So they value new user signup more than user experience.
