Ipad and Iphone viewing of long file names
Our company is having the issue that on the mobile app (using the ipad or iphone) often times the file name is too long to properly view what we are opening. I want to be able to read the entire file...
Well, bugger me, Dropbox has finally fixed this with the latest update. I thought to re-check this today after the latest change, and straight away could see the filenames are displayed differently. The font is smaller, and the filename is truncated in the middle, so I can read the start of the file name, but also the end which is (with my file-naming convention), typically the differentiator. But the kicker is what happens with the display pane. It is now possible to close that — there’s a small “x” in the top left corner of the display/preview pane — and once that closes, the left pane with the file names expands to full screen view! And voila! I can now see the full long file names. Dropbox: THAT is the way to take advantage of the larger screen on an iPad, especially the 12.9” model. I’m still annoyed it took so long to remedy, but thank you for finally doing it.
Hi Guys
I am really frustrated with the ipad version of dropbox. On the iphone version, in landscape view the file view expands giving filenames greater space, but on the ipad version you have restricted the width of the file view pane. Please can you add a small button or option under the menu (upload, create folder etc) that expands the file view pane to the full width of the screen. This would greatly improve the workflow when using dropbox on the ipad.
Many thanks

This. It must have been other's frustation as well to not be able to browse files on folders using FULL SCREEN on iPad. Why oh why it's restricted to a narrow column on left I can't understand.
There should be a way to browse the files on a grid, as well.
