I love new features, don't get me wrong, but not at the cost of them cluttering up the UI with features I rarely (or never) use. The sidebar on the web keeps growing with no way to tame it. How about...
As of February 2020, there is way too little screen space available for the user to view their actual files.
Over 20% of the screen is eaten up by the Left Sidebar (Files, My File, Photos, Shared, File Requests, Deleted Files). Over 30% is wasted on the Right Sidebar (Upload files, Upload folder, New folder, New shared folder, Request files, Show deleted files, Rewind, ...)
There is currently no way to re-size or collapse or show/hide either of the offending Sidebars. This leaves us with less than 50% for the center pane where our actual files are displayed. The center pane is all we users care about 80% of the time.
This misguided design is especially punishing when we are working in "List" view. We can't tell one file from another because the filenames are truncated to a ridiculously few characters just so they can be squeezed into that tiny center pane! We use "List" view to quickly scan the files and know what filenames we are looking at. We do *not* want to hover over every truncated filename to see the full name, and then *try* to remember which file was which after the hover window closes.
The current three-pane view looks much like an Adobe Acrobat view, but at least Adobe allows us to hide the side panes, opening up the center screen for actual work.
Come on, Dropbox. I've been with you since 2006, but this flaw is painful enough to send me to one of your competitors if not fixed.
File display is too small !
