Don't get me started on Dropbox web app... the worst cluster*uck of an user interface:
- super slow; scrolling often leaves you in a blank space for seconds when it's catching up; elements showing up on the page after you navigate there pushing things away from or under your cursor
- breadcrumbs in the folders sometimes showing, sometimes not
- different directory tree browsers in different parts of the app
- folder settings split between multiple different places. For something you have to go to Admin console, for something you have to go back to normal viewer
- multiple types of flash messages, showing after different actions, often doubling themselves
- actions in dropdown menus for the same thing ordered differently based on where you currently are
I'm so happy that we are migrating away to our own solution
As a Dropbox user of about 12 years, I started with the thick-client, but, working on 5 separate systems (work, home windows, home linux, home macbookAir, Travel NUC) - I just .. stopped installing the thick client. I'm 100% webapp user, even on the one (two?) systems where the thick client is present.
