You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
When viewing a file, it could have a delete button.
1. When viewing a photo, for example, where is the ability to delete the file when viewing it? Please add this feature.
2. When click on the back arrow on the top left corner when viewing a file/picture, it would be nice to go back to where I left off last, instead of having to scroll all the way to down to where I left off.

Hey there Edward J.5 - how are you today?
Thank you for your valuable feedback.
We are always looking for user input regarding our website so I will make sure your comments are passed along to our development team as feature requests.
I understand how useful it would be to have an option to delete files even when previewing them on the website. Although what you described in your second query is expected behavior at the moment, I'll make sure to pass your input to the dev team about this function too.
If there's anything else you'd like to add to this, please let me know.

Agreed!
Totally agree.
Organize pictures on the web app is a nightmare without that button (and shortcut like Del key!)Thank you
After uploading more than 6,000 photos, I just found out that I can't delete from preview mode. I am already regretting purchasing one year of storage and spending the time uploading. I see someone raised the issue over a year ago, but the option hasn't been added. I need better functionality.

This idea is going to need a bit more support.
We've updated the status to encourage more users to back you up!
Hi,
It can be great to adding an erase file button on the page where we see the file for the owner and the person who also have the right to do it, it will be a huge time saving.
Thanks

In the same time its just to move one button from one page to an another one... its not like changing the whole code of the page!
Best regards
It would be great to be able to delete an image inside the "?preview=" page.
From a UX/Usability standpoint I really don't get why "printing" is a "primary action" and delete is nowhere to find.... Not as a Hotkey, not as a primary action, NOT EVEN as an action insides the overflow Menu.
So I have to go back and forth between the preview and folder view to detect "bad images" and then delete them...which really takes to long.
Ideal solution for me would be: Just press "backspace" to delete a file...simple ;) KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)
Considering this would be much appreciated :)

I would love this feature! As some people say it is a neck breaker to not have this (if you use Dropbox for an image archive or similar things)
And I saw, the first time it was "past to the team" is 3 Years ago 😢
Still waiting guys.
I assume that the reason you still didn't add this BASIC feature is some marketing c**p ...I'm not renewing my account next month.
Really? You added "Traffic and insights", but you didn't add Delete button??
Really guys? You're gonna crash someday....
