Unable to select multiple photos that are on different rows under Large grid and Grid views.
When I'm logged into my own Dropbox account through the website, I am not able to select multiple photos that are on separate rows under "Large Grid" and "Grid" views. The "List" and "Large List" ...

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for reporting this issue. It is still affecting some users at this time. Our Engineering team is aware and working on a fix. In the meantime, you can select a different view as a workaround. We will provide an update when we have more information.
Thanks,

I'm seeing the same thing. I've tried on Chrome and Firefox. I can select several images from one row, but once I try to select anything else, the entire selection is undone.

Hi everyone, hope you’re all doing great!
Can any of you send me a screenshot of what you’re seeing exactly on your end?
I tested this myself and everything seems to be working normally, so I’d like to make sure I haven’t misunderstood something.
Let me know when you’re ready.

Hi Nancy,
When you select the first photo of the batch you are looking to do and hold the "shift" button on keyboard like usual, the entire page glitches out when trying to make the end photo one in a different row. I am able to select photos in the same row just fine, but not across multiple.
Similar issue, when trying to click on a single photo, 7/10 times the page does a similar glitch and scrolls up a few rows, selecting a random photo in the process.
Can you please provide an email address to share a screenshot? Would prefer to not share my gallery publicly. - TN42 years agoHelpful | Level 5

Have the same issue here. Multi photo selection constantly glitches. Can only select items in one or 2 rows and move or delete them. Anything more, or trying to select multiple images in a folder that are not sequential, results in the same glitch. When glitching, the screen either jumps up a few rows, or all selected items are cleared.
