Make the preview pane optional (toggle on/off) on the Dropbox website

As a person who uses the Dropbox website daily, the preview pane is more of a preview pain. It's constantly popping up when it's not needed or wanted, makes getting to/downloading files harder, and causes a strange auto-scrolling that causes one to lose their place in the process. In my usage, it's way more of a liability than an asset, but I understand that some users like it. It would be great if there was a toggle switch to turn it off.

    Hey eunderworld! Hope you’re well. 

     

    Can you send over a screenshot of the preview panel you keep seeing, so that I can have a visual and forward your feedback directly to our team? 

     

    Ping me, when you’re ready.
