thanks for your prompt response Hanna,

 

Andriod (Samsung) phone, "Andriod version 12" it says.

 

as for the version of the Dropbox app: i could not find this version info within the 'settings' section of the App, or the fuction to check the software currency. maybe you could help me find this?

 

i did try to "tap to hide the options in the sections above and under the photo", however this did not work.

 

To clarify, i bring a photo up through the "files" section of the app, and it has the white sections at the top and bottom, the only way i hide the white sections is to tap the photo itself and the white sections disappear. Then, if i then swipe right/left the white sections reappear with the next picture.

Hi greg1245, are you referring to the sections that mention the file name on top of the file, and Dropbox options such as share etc.?

 

Can you send me a screenshot of what you see on your end, in order for me to have a visual of this?

      Hi greg1245, thank you for the screenshots! 

       

      At the moment you can't remove these, you can only tap once on the file in order for the info not to be available. In any case, I'll forward your feedback to the appropriate areas so we can continue to improve.

       

      Thanks!
