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.

Option to choose a specific layout for each folder on the website
Hi one thing I find time consuming is when I search folders I prefer it viewed as a ‘list’ but when I open the folder I prefer ‘thumbnails.’ Unfortunately I have to constantly scroll up to change the view folder options back and forth. It would be awesome if you could have folder viewing rules in settings so that I could set how each folder and sub folder is viewed. I’m a visual user, a photographer and this would really improve my experience and efficiency.
Yes please allow us to set a default view option. I use dropbox to share photo galleries and it always defaults to list view so I have to notify all my customers to select Grid layout. I really wish there was a better gallery layout I could set as the default view for all sub folders of a given folder.
Thought about that a few days ago. It would be very helpful
Yes, exactly this. Oddly enough, before recently (within past few months?) I used to be able to do this. Each folder stayed how I put it (grid view, list, etc.). It no longer does that.
We use Dropbox for an architectural business and when we renovate a building, we take lots of photos. I want to be able to see the folders in list view so I don't need to scroll a bunch to see their names, while being able to see the photos (which would be in one of those folders) in large grid view so I can take a quick look of each photo before opening it. Each folder's setting should stay how I set it without affecting other folders' settings.
