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.

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
- Edward W.107 years agoHelpful | Level 7Why 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.
- Random44237 years agoExplorer | Level 4I 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.

I see. I’m not the only person reporting this. Glad to hear you guys are escalating this to the dev team.
EDIT: This is my icon browse view. So much wasted space...

Nothing has changed after this mornings update. This is ridiculous. I am being asked to explore alternatives for my organization.

This issue makes the app nearly unusable, so I hope DropBox will correct this in hours/days, not weeks/months.
Thank you.

Yeah, it is ridiculous!!! I plan to explore other options and move on when my plan ends.
- Jasonlaldrich7 years agoNew member | Level 2My IPad is still having this problem. Any solution yet. I have the same frustrations as everyone else on this thread.
- Jasonlaldrich7 years agoNew member | Level 2Same here. VERY FRUSTRATED!
