How do YOU access Dropbox?
Hi Dropbox community - I'm a design researcher here at Dropbox. I'm curious about how you access Dropbox! How do you access Dropbox: the website, the desktop app (for mac/windows), and/or the mobile app (iOS, android)? For those you use, why do you use them? For those you don't, why not? Is there anything you wish you could do on one that you can't today? Why?

Screenshot File Naming Format
Hello- Out of the blue, Dropbox changed the filename format it uses when capturing and saving screenshots from a Mac. Like so many changes Dropbox made, there was no warning, there is no manual control, and it has negative impacts on workflow. The old format used to be: "Screenshot YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS" where the 24 hour clock was used The new format is: "Screen Shot YYYY-MM-DD at H.MM.SS AM/PM" were the 12 hour clock is used This seemingly minor change has file sorting implications. Changing the beginning of the file name had a impact on file sorting, but switching from the 24 to 12 hour clock sorts the resulting files within 12 hour blocks rather than 1 day blocks. We capture regular screenshots and archive them and finding them by exact date and time used to be no problem. Now, with the new system, files are getting mixed up. Can this either be reversed, or simply revert to the 24 hour clock but keep the additional fields? Or, best yet, GIVE THE USER SOME CONTROL??? Thank you, Dave

Dropbox Spaces for Solo-workers (Premium members)
I would welcome if you would open Dropbox Spaces also for solo-workers. I am a freelancer and I work on many different projects every month. It would simplify my workflow if I could keep track about the projects (calendar, to-do list...) as Dropbox is my main collaboration tool - I use it for reviewing (Dropbox Replay), sending files, capturing my screen (Dropbox Capture) and delivering the final project.
