It's distracting to see the folder tiles previewing images in grid view on the Dropbox website.

Folder tiles previewing images is distracting. Asked 2 yrs ago, no fix. No-brainer: show folder icon

    Thanks for your post, lpb624, and welcome back to our Community. 

    I’ve forwarded your feedback on this to our team on your behalf. 

    A workaround you can perhaps try in the meantime is to view your files/folders in list view instead of grid/large grid. This way, you’ll only see the folder icons, instead of the photos they contain.

    Hope this helps a bit!
