How can I view my photos like a gallery?

There used to be a feature to view your pictures in gallery. What happened to that? I can't find it anymore :(.

 

Something like this.

    Someone else asked my same question here:
    https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Files-folders/How-can-I-view-my-photos-like-a-gallery/m-p/293000#M73590

    Here is the answer, bt it does not work:

    Do you by any chance mean your photos tab on the website? You can navigate there by:
    1. Sign in to dropbox.com.
    2. Click Files.
    3. Select Photos.
    Under "files" in my account there is NO "Photos" file, consisting of all my photos, TO select. There are only files I have created for specific groups of phtots that have the word photos in them.
     
    I have been a member of relatively pricey paid Dropbox for more than a decade and so has my husband. I am upset I cannot take advatage of this REALLY IMPORTANT (to me) feature!
     
    Somewhere during my sure it said "your photos file has been deleted. If it was deleted, it was dropbox, not me. That is one of my VERY MOST CRITICAL FEATURES becuase i have loads of dadat and valuable pictures and if I cannot browse for them, they are as goo ad lost to my business which is very photo-centric.

      I cannot see the Photo tab either... And the URL to .../Photos  takes  me to the root of my  Dropbox  directories - and that does not solve  the problem...

        Hey everyone, thanks for nudging us on this thread!

        If you've tried accessing your photos with this link and you're still having trouble, could you try the following:

        • Navigating from another browser?
        • Using an incognito/private window?
        • Clearing the cache?
        • Making sure that you're not running any third party browser extensions or plugins? 

        Let me know how it goes!
