Dropbox Shop Preview/Thumbnail confusion

I'd seen previous discussion indicating that Shop creates a thumbnail of an item being sold. Either that was incorrect or settings have changed. I've been uploading images to sell and see the Product...

    Thanks for the feedback. I guess for now, the only option is for me to upload a second image for preview purposes. I'm taking my watermarked versions and reducing the image size to upload for preview purposes. This will be quite a time-consuming task, so if Dropbox can somehow automate the process of generating a thumbnail from an uploaded image file, it would be a great convenience. Perhaps programmers could take any uploaded image and reduce the size or resolution by half to 2/3 (anticipating most uploaded images for sale would be reasonably high resolution). That would be fantastic. Even if a prospective customer just grabbed a screenshot, they'd only have a lower-res version. It would save creators significant time and storage capacity - both of which could help increase your satisfied customer base.
