File manager view on the Dropbox site

I would much prefer to have the files and folders presented in a file manager tree view rather than having half of the screen taken up with preview thumbnails of recent files.  The current layout is frustrating to work with, especially when working collaboratively as it encourages poor file management practices.  I want my Dropbox interface to be clear and functional, not fun.

    Hi Martin Locock, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    It sounds like you're referring to the Quick View preview feature.

     

    You can disable this by selecting the full screen option by following these steps.

     

    Would this satisfy your requirements?
