File names abbreviated in landscape mode
Hi, my file names remain abbreviated to portrait mode width even when I turn my phone to landscape mode. Is this a know bug.
Help, this is a major, major pain.
Thanks.
Dave
I just checked, its working now 🙂

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Dropbox app, to see if that helps?
Just make sure that you have up to 3 connected devices, if you're on a Basic plan, because if you have more than 3, you won't be able to sign back in after you reinstall.
Hello,
Same problem as the OP.
It has existed in the iPad app as long as I can remember. It was "introduced" to the Android app within the last week or two.
Before recent Android app update, rotating device to landscape showed longer filenames with fewer instances of "..."
Now, the portrait and landscape file lists are the same, with a large amount of unused screen space to the right of the abbreviated filenames.
This significantly reduces the usability of the app.
Android app ver 332.2.2
Thank you.

Hopefully that's great news, in that its not specific to me. Surely its a bug that they're going to fix. (That being said, they haven't fix it on the iPhone yet, so...)
I hope they appreciate how big a deal it is.
Thanks for piping in.
