Number of photos and position of actual photo I'm viewing to be shown at the top

This was available in the iPhone app until literally last week, not sure why it was removed. I could see something like "picture no. 128 out of 197", this way I could follow as it was uploading photos, or when I was reviewing photos to delete, I could remember "I need to go back to pic no. 128" if I got interrupted. It was a useful feature, I need it back.

    Hey Gabor V. - thanks for sharing your thoughts on this with us.

     

    Just to make sure we're on the same page, could you clarify if you're referring to files you're uploading via the mobile app on your iOS device or were you talking about previewing them?

     

    Is this about the automatic camera uploads feature perhaps or for files you've manually uploaded to your account?

     

    Let us know more and we'll take it from there.

    Walter,

    It’s about any picture files in a folder while previewing them: each folder has a number of files and each file has a position within it. So, I open for preview the first image out of 263 and start previewing it. Until a couple weeks ago I could see the information at the top “1 of 263”, then as I moved with the right arrow it changed to “2 of 263” then “3 of 263” etc. This was useful to me and I’d like to have it back.

      Hello Gabor V. 

      Thanks for reaching out. I hope you don't mind me jumping in here.
       
      If you are referring to the “x of y” counters we used to have at the top of the UI inside a preview of a single file, indeed that was removed.
       
      We're always looking for ways to improve Dropbox. We regularly release new versions of our products with better performance, additional features, and security enhancements. 
       
      I will note this as feedback and we really appreciate your contribution.
       
      Best regards, 
      Helen

        Okay, I hope you will add it back.

        Btw I still couldn’t find out if I could delete photos while previewing them in the app. It’s an extremely useful feature (I need to see exactly what I’m deleting!) and not restoring it makes the iPhone app way less useful. It’s actually an issue which would make me look into alternatives to Dropbox.
