Hi Megan, Please see the image attached.
When I click on a file there is no preview that comes up on the right hand side - This makes reviewing multiple files in a folder very difficult - I appreciate that making the data "offline" may be a resolution - however I would think that i shouldn't need to use up space on my computer when using the dropbox app.

Hey Brad Davis, based on everything you mentioned, it sounds that switching the files' state to "available offline" helps remedy this behavior, am I right?

Hi Megan,
Yes this issue has only come since I transferred all file to be online only - As i mentioned before I don't think I should have to store our whole Dropbox on our computers to have a preview of the files.
Using the online portal is not an option as its quite clunky and not user friendly when searching through masses of documents.
