Is there a way that I can increase the size of the thumbnails? It would be very helpful when trying to organize my folders.

Fascinating, that after YEARS of people, both free and paid Dropbox users, continue to complain about a simple issue with the miniscule picture icons, and THERE IS NO ANSWER FROM ANYONE AT DROPBOX, AND NO FIX. Really?! What an insult.

Yes, some better flexibility with thumbnails and maybe add tiles for videos to see quick previews as we mouse over. But, until then. Use your browser zoom + tab key to increase the size of the entire page. I've tried it, it's not perfect at all but it gets part of the job done pretty well. A better alternative, again not perfect, is to install a magnifying app that will make the thumbnail larger, again as its "moused" over. They have some pretty cool ones where you can set an exact x/y axis although I haven't seen one that can do them in batch. Drop box has a a forum section (or used to, I haven't looked in here for awhile) where you can give constructive ideas for improvement. Personally, I think the big planners need to slow down a bit on the supposed "massive growth of subscribers", and sit back and modernize this place a bit. Many will disagree but for my use there hasn't been any significant upgrade in the look, or the function tabs since it was first developed. I'm talking significant. It's tweaked here and there but IMHO I think it lacks some pizazz, imagination and more functionality on the primary pages without having to search through the entire site. That's my 2C. Hope I helped somebody. Geesh, asked back in February and they are supposed to have millions of subscribers? Hum Hm. What's up with that? Never mind, I could care less. Have a good day. Rob

How do I increase the thumbnail size for pictures in my camera uploads folder? The current tiny thumbnails are totally useless. This is such an elementary feature that there must be a simple setting somewhere - can anyone point me towards where it is please? Thanks in advance

Currently looking for alternative solution to dropbox and the only reason is the thumbnails.

How to increase the Thumbnail photo size.

That's why I have chosen to spend my money elsewhere.

Well, it's too bad about this but take a look at the list of improvements and requests people have made over the years. DB must prioritize and it's something I certainly would not take personally, and leave, unless it's such a high priority in what you do. Thankfully there is a plethora of choices.

I am using the album and/or file storage feature of OneDrive - the free version as well as the paid version within my Outlook 365. I can highly recommend that - although it is not highly adaptable, the thumbnails are much bigger and the folder mechanism is more or less the same as in Windows or Dropbox.

I am at least glad that I'm not the only that feels this way. What's pathetic is that there is no one who appears to do paid work for Dropbox is reading these comments. Now I have to decide if it's more of a pain in the ass to switch or to deal with the icon size as is here.

I fully agree. Let me know which alternative you settle for. I'm about to try Amazon Prime which appears to offer a lot of storage. I like a lot of Dropbox, but their contempt for their users must be pretty high when they cripple the interface as detailed in this thread.

One solution I have adopted is to use Dropbox in conjunction with Google photos. Specifically

I have my phone automatically upload my photos to Dropbox.

Dropbox synchronises back down to my computer.

On my computer, I have installed the Google Photos Desktop Uploader,

Google Photos then adds my photos to the online Google Photos account.

I than use Google Photos to manage and organise them.

This solution, I feel, has several advantages

Google offers a much better interface and much better tools than Dropbox for managing photos.

Two online copies of photos, with two different providers.

A full/native resolution backup of photos, which is something that, once the free storage quota is used up, Google only provides in their paid version of the App.

In CHROME I see both a Gallery and Thumbnail view option. Not so in FIREFOX (my main browser). Come on, DROPBOX!

Please enlighten the rest of us. I see no gallery and thumbnail option in CHROME. Only thumbnails.

I am trying to find what free OR pay service that I can use.
The issue being that I cannot SEE each photo as I scroll through the tiny dots.
Anyone who can recommend one?
