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.

Thanks for the report Michael D.105!
Would it be OK with you if I reached out via your Dropbox associated email address to have a further look into this?
Just for troubleshooting's sake, could you confirm you're on the last version of your iPad's OS and our mobile app's as well?
Thanks so much!

Thanks for your swift response Michael!
I just sent you a brief message so we can investigate further. Take a look at your inbox and we'll take it from there.
It goes without saying that we'll update this thread with our findings too.
Talk to you soon Michael D.105

I'm having the same problem. There is no "X" as before on the individual photo side to the right of the file list, whether in landscape or portrait mode. I cannot read file names that all start with the same few words.

Following the update to IOS13 the little cross marker on the file search page has disappeared with the result that I can no longer see the full file name - is anyone else having this problem?

Hello there Sjk9! :nerd:
Thanks for posting about this. What is the version of the app you have installed in your iPad?
May I have a screenshot of how things look on your end if this is not a problem please?
Just to cover all bases, please take a look at this thread, where other users reported a similar issue: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Installs-integrations/Get-rid-of-preview-pane-in-iPad-app/td-p/272883/page/4
Hope this helps!

Thanks, this is the same issue as on the other thread. It would be great if this could be solved ASAP - it makes the app pretty much useless without it.

Add one more to the list of customers having the same problem - the X in the upper left of the preview pane disappeared when I updated my iPad to iOS 13.1 (more than a week ago). After reading this thread this evening (6 October 2019) I have rebooted my iPad and deleted and reinstalled the app (v. 160.2), but the X remains missing. Please keep this issue at the top of the priority list to repair.
Editing to note that this post has a "Solved! Go to solution." link underneath it, but that solution is for the original post in April 2018, not for those of us having the problem in October 2019.
