GUI
30 TopicsAutomatic file preview on the right of the page whenever I select a file
This just started happening yesterday (online interface)... whenever I select a file, a preview pane opens on the right with a preview of the file. I don't want or need this, especially with image files since I view those by large grid and it's redundant to have the preview. This preview literally takes up half of the Dropbox interface on my screen. The kicker is that if I upload a file, once the file is uploaded the file is considered 'selected' so the preview opens then too! Is there any way to disable this totally unnecessary and obtrusive feature?Solved3.5KViews4likes9CommentsHow do I hide the sidebar/list column on the left side of the iPad app? Cannot find that option
How do I hide the sidebar? In the iPad app? The current one as of the date of this posting? I cannot find that option anywhere, and if it’s incredibly obvious and I’m overlooking it I will be upset with myselfSolved9KViews4likes7CommentsOffline Online Green checkmark / Cloud icon indicators not visible / Finder MacOs 12.3 M1
Hi, was wondering if the Green / partially green and Cloud icon indicators for Selective sync inside finder are coming back soon? I know that you're working on a fix with new Macs and online previewing, is this part of the same problem? Dropbox v145.4.4921 MacOs 12.3 M1 Hope to hear from you, makes it really hard to get an indication which folders and files are stored locally. Greetings.Solved4.2KViews3likes13Comments"Show in Finder" not available in preview-mode in Chrome
Ever since the dropbox UX-update the option 'open in finder' isn't available in the preview mode (e.g. with powerpoint presentations). It seems to be replaced with the "Go to Folder" button. However, this 'Go to Folder' opens the folder in my webbrowser, not my file explorer (Finder). In the file overview which I am directed to after clicking on 'Go to Folder', I can select the file and click on the 3 dots to have the option to "Show in Finder", but when working it was more efficient to have the option in the dropbox preview window. These extra 4 clicks are quite annoying to do each time. Will 'Show in Finder' be added back to the options users have when previewing files, or is there some way to get it back? Edit: it's not a bug. At least, my colleagues experience this as well so it's not limited to my devices.3.2KViews2likes7CommentsHow can I change the right-side quick preview on the website?
Regarding the most recent update: PLEASE get rid of the feature that makes document previews pop up on the right side of the screen. It's really annoying and is messing with my workflow. When you add new features like this you need to give people the option to turn them off. I don't like it and it's making my user experience cumbersome. Stop making updates without allowing users to turn off the new features. I was fine with the way Dropbox was before. This isn't the firs time an update to the interface has made my job harder.520Views1like3CommentsSmart Sync Not Showing Up on Windows 11
Hi! I am on Windows 11 and have a Dropbox Business account. The Issue: I cannot see the option when I right click a file, to Smart Sync > Local or Online Only I do see this option on my MacBook Pro. I did see the option on my PC earlier this week, I do not see it now. In an effort to troubleshoot my issue, I just install and reinstall Dropbox app on the PC. The problem remains. The options I see when I right click a file are Dropbox > - Share - View in Dropbox - Copy Dropbox Link - Version History - Send with Dropbox History Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!Solved5.8KViews1like14CommentsDropbox files Preview pane
From File Manager, when I click on a .pdf, the preview pane shows this: Index of C:\users\owner\dropbox\ and then lists everything in my dropbox. This shows on everyone's pc I have shared the folders with. This is only happening in the first two folders that I know of. I have at least 25 folders.Solved9.2KViews1like10CommentsHow can I view my folders on the Dropbox mobile app
How can I get folder view in Dropbox mobile?? There is no left side bar, there is is no badge at the top, there is no lightning bolt, and I can't see how to get folder view. Sometimes folder view appears but I don't know why. How can I switch to folder view from file view? Thank you very much!Solved3KViews1like5Comments
