This was corrected on the server side. If you are having this issue, you need request a ticket to be put in. It can not be fixed on the user side.

Nothing has changed and there are no settings to change the behavior. Clicking the white space around a file or folder name will select it, while clicking on the actual file or folder name will open it.

I must not be explaining the issue clearly. There are two options, they are clearly shown it these two images side by side. You can tell from the cursor's reaction change when hovering...one is the 'arrow' and other is the 'finger'. The 'arrow' is making me double click on my option, were as the 'finger' is a single click. I know it's an account specified setting, and not a PC...because I log in as myself and I have to double click...my staff member logs in on the same PC and he still has the single click. Hope this make my issue clearer...just tough to explain.

But there are no settings that control that function. There's no way to change whether a file or folder opens with a single click or a double-click.
Have you cleared your browser's cache/browsing history or tried a different browser, as a test?

Yes, all history was deleted...no change. Plus, logged in from another computer and it makes me still double click to view files/folders. So, let me get this straight...you are saying there is no option between single click/double click. I've been using DropBox almost from the beginning...been a user for many years and always been clicking once to view...so out of these two results I have shown, which one is 'normal'?

Also tried in Microsoft Edge...same issue. Need to double click to view file or open folder.
