    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.

Hello wonton46! :taco:

Welcome to Community and thanks for reporting the issue you are facing here. 

What version of Dropbox you have there? 

How much space is left in your iPad device?

As a first step please reboot your device and let me know if things get better after that.

Thank you! :nerd:

I have same problem! 

iPad 6th generation

iOS V13.1.3

Dropbox 162.2.6

The "X" to close the preview pane has disappeared. 

How do I get it back?

Thanks

    Why can’t we hide the preview pane any more? It seems like this ability was taken away a few versions ago. This is horrible. It’s all but impossible to manage files with evenly slightly long file names.

      I agree, it was a feature I really appreciated, when I’m done with a file I would close it and navigate to other folders in full screen mode, now I can’t do either of those things. I can’t even read my folder names because the side navigation bar is too small. I really hope this is fixed soon.
