iOS app: Can I hide the left sidebar showing my folders?

On my ipad the left panel doesn't drag to close. How can I close it and see my images full screen?

    In the iPad app, tapping a photo will make the left sidebar close, tapping it again will hide the top/bottom bars. You can bring back the sidebar by tapping the 'back' button (<)

    In your left nav, do you see the following icon at the bottom left of the left nav? If so, you should be able to click that and the left nav will hide. To show it again, just click it again. It is a toggle for it. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks!

    Hi again, sarahberry9!

    You should be able to just tap on a file after you open to preview it and the left sidebar with the folders should close automatically.

    If that's not what you see, please send me some screenshots showing the behavior you're seeing.

    Thanks!
