Dropbox StaffWelcome to our Community, climberfx!
Thanks for sharing your feedback on this. I’ve passed your comments to the relevant team, as well.
In the meantime, what you can do is to use the Open button on the website instead, to help you open the files from your shared links directly on the desktop app. You can check out this page for more info on this feature.
I’ll be here, if you need something else.
Hi Nancy. Thank you by your reply and suggestion.
But this is a to narrow solution. I use Edge on Windows and Safari on Mac, and even if it worked like that on all browsers, still a click away from direct approach.
Hope your team see it as a major implementation, maybe have that option to open in browser as a second (or on finder/explorer as a second) option directly, when i have the links on my Dropbox, and go automatically to browser when i do not have the files in the link on my Dropbox. That would be perfect!
Thank you, dreaming this on the future Dropbox.
