File name is cut off on the Dropbox site
How is it possible for an app this old to still not allow a user to alter the field length?

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi Mkojiro, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Is this for files and folders, or just one of them?
Which browser are you currently using?
This will help me to assist further!
I'm using Firefox, but it also affects Chrome.
I should point out that it seems to be this way with our shared stuff. I'm a 3d artist and we have a paid dropbox I have access to.It looks like this. Switching to grid does nothing to make it any better. And yes, this is on a PC, not a mobile device. Look at all that empty space it just refuses to use!
So when someone tells me I need to work on asset X, I have to scroll through sometimes a dozen items that all start with the same initial string. There's no pop up for hovering, at best I can try and read the tiny browser text at the bottom when I mouse over but it's so much more of a hassle than just having the name there. There's plenty of space but for some reason it's absolutely locked to this. When you go in and out you have to work out which of the folders you just checked. It seems like needless frustration and it costs each artist time every day.
If there's a fix, please let me know.- Hannah
Hey Mkojiro, if you hover over that space I circled in yellow, you should see an option to drag out the column size; can you try and let me know if it helps?
Thanks for the response, but if it's there its so tiny I cannot find it. I tried turning off all my extensions/blockers to test- nothing.
