Image previews for photo thumbnails

It seems like this might have already been added, but I can't figure out how to access it?

I am hoping to have images for photo thumbnails, rather than a blue icon. I have a lot of photo references, and sometimes it is hard to remember what is an each.

Even if it was a random assortment of images, this would still be a more helpful to me than just an ocean of blue folders.

    Hey Ike89 - could you clarify if you're using the website, the mobile app or the desktop app to do this?

     

    I'm only asking because this should be available by default on the website, when previewing your folders that is. 

     

    Let us know more when you get the chance!

    Hi @Walter, 

     

    I am using the mobile app on Android, Pixel Pro 7.

     

    I also used the website through the chrome app on the above cell phone.

     

    Update! 

     

    Okay, I switched to view desktop site on the chrome app, and that made the thumbnails appear! 🙂 this is already very helpful 

     

    Is there a way to activate this on the Dropbox app? I am using the most recent version.

     

    Thanks!
