Get rid of preview pane in iPad app!
New iOS version today says I can now get rid of the Preview pane but HOW? Waited so long for this and now I can't work out how to do it!!
Hi Ian,
The feature is still rolling out. You'll see it soon as a X button in the top left of the preview pane.

Dropbox StaffAre you still seeing the X only in portrait orientation? Which tab are you on (Home, Files, etc), and is there a file open in the right pane? If so, what type of file is it?
yes. open any document by clicking on the left-hand side list and the X should be visible on the right-hand side. If not just rotate to portrait mode. The state seems to persist until you fully close the app - when you re-open the app you have to do this again, which hopefully they will give an option in future (although given how long it took to get this done, I wouldn't hold your breath)

Thanks for the response Ian - I'm specifically asking whether the X disappears for you in landscape mode. If so, any other details would be appreciated so that we can investigate, as we haven't been able to reproduce this issue.
The X appears to be present regardless of the orientation now although this definitely wasn't the case initially - it's too obvious to have been missed.
Thanks

Thanks for letting me know! I think it might just be because the feature was still rolling out so you caught the update while the app was running, but anyway I'll definitely keep an eye for this.
Hello David Z - as this is a year after the posts above, I'm not sure if you will see this.
I have the same issue Ian had - I'm using an Ipad Pro running IOS 12.2. I like Dropbox, it's great. But when my Ipad is on it's bluetooth keyboard, by necessity, as the connectors are on the bottom, it is in landscape mode. When in landscape, on each folder and file, the box with options doesn't show. I have to click on each one and it only does one at a time. However, when I turn my Ipad to portrait mode, instantly in a flash all the boxes appear and it's a million times easier and faster to check and move the files into folders (I've got over 14,000 still to examine and move so it matters to me how quick this process is). But the thing is, I can't use my bluetooth connector keyboards if I need to keep the Ipad upright in Portrait mode. Just wondering if there is a way around this - getting it to be teh same in Landscape as Portrait on Ipad Pro 12.2. Thanks much! Kind regards :)

piperjames - I tried a few things that I thought you might be describing, but don't see anything off. Can you post a screenshot of the problem you're seeing?
