Hello Rafavillena, 

Welcome to the Dropbox Community!

Could you let me know if you see a change in behavior after installing the latest version of the desktop app (79.4.143) and then rebooting your device?

To do this, you'll first need to uncheck the box to "include me in early releases" in your General tab on the website and then install the desktop app. 

Let me know what you find!

    I have the same problem, I just migrated to Dropbox but I can't see the preview, if this continues I will have to leave Dropbox.

      Hey Erick Torres, thanks for reaching out to us. 

       

      Out of curiosity, does the preview show up when you make the file local?

       

      Keep me posted!
