Disable folder image preview

Is there a way to prevent a specific folder tile from showing a preview of the images inside it? I have NSFW images inside some subfolders and don't want them visible from the parent folder.

Hey gem0303, thanks for posting on our forum. 

 

If you’re referring to the Dropbox website, and you’re seeing your content in grid/large grid view, I’m afraid it’s not possible to hide those thumbnails. 

 

You can change the view though to list/large list instead, and there should be no thumbnails. 

 

Hope this helps!

Nancy Thanks for the info. Bummer it's not possible without changing away from grid view (which I really like).

 

For anyone reading who'd like this feature added to the site, please upvote my idea.
