Image Zoom and Scale Default
I've noticed that the default image viewer setting has changed to 100% zoom recently, and I rely heavily on presenting extensive galleries of large images to clients and having the images default to ...
For reference, horizontal images seem to scale automatically, while vertical images default to 100% zoom.

This really needs to be addressed, or at the very least, explained.
Dropbox is an integral part of a professional photographer's workflow, and it's now completely unusable.
Also, scale to fit is still the default option on the Dropbox app, which is great, but telling clients they can only look through galleries by downloading the app and scrolling through them on their phones is absurd.
DROP BOX PLEASE FIX THIS!
I also am a photographer but more importantly I hunt for rugs and it takes me twice as long to sift through my suppliers images because they default to 100% zoom in. This desperately needs to be fixed!!!
I understand the concerns of users that find it annoying when small images are stretched when zoom to fit is the default option, but it would be helpful if a script is written that displays images by default at 100% zoom unless they exceed a pre-determined boundary and then display zoomed to fit by default.
I have also had to switch to WeTransfer for client image delivery because Dropbox is unusable for me as a photographer all of a sudden.
This is a really annoying and recent development. For shared images needing to be resized individually to view properly is an unnecessary inconvenience, especially when images opened to fit just fine previously. I'll be looking at other sharing and storage options, as well.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE CHANGE THIS. THIS IS THE STUPIDEST THING EVER!!! How am I suppose to look at and show images to client when they are 100% zoomed in. If this doesn't get changed I'm cancelling my sub

Hi all, sorry for the late response here - are you still having issues with this?
If so, let us know here and we'll reach out via email to have a further look internally.
Hi Walter, thanks for taking this up - better late than never.
The issue seems to be fixed for me on my Safari desktop browser. The images scale to fit my window size.
Thanks
