Disable folder image preview

It's not as clear as having the collage superimposed over the folder because your eye still has to look in two places to confirm it's a folder (the photos and then down to the icon). But it is a definite improvement compared to not having that icon at all. Thanks for the update!

gem0303 great to hear that it's an improvement! We'll keep looking at ways to make this even better. 

I agree with this idea - having the option to view as "collage stack" is distracting, but some people may want it. I liked the mockup of the folder image behind the collage. looks differentiated nicely, rather than just plain white background with no folder icon.

This thread is old but I'm just seeing this change today on my windows laptop using chrome. Was there a bigger roll out? Is there a toggle button to turn it off?

I share the same sentiments as others with private photos (not necessarily NSFW even) and just the visual clutter. I would go as far to say this is a major privacy concern and the feature should be disabled immediately site wide until a fix is made. Then rollout with the feature off by default.

Imagine you want to pull up something in a business meeting presentation. Or your a professor in front of a class. Or someone is simply behind your shoulder. Switching to list is just not a good solution. Especially in my case where this feature presented itself out of nowhere and I had a close call.

Let me vent a little bit more please. I just don't understand not giving people choice. Being able to customize how you engage with dropbox is a great marketing point. Why force change on users, especially ones that rely on the software to make a living.

Please consider quickly.

Is there any update on being able to turn off this feature?
