How to expand left sidebar width on the website?

How can I expand the left sidebar width. I have many levels of files and I can not see the names of folders that I want to move files into. As you can see below, all I can see is the first letter of the folder "A" and there are several of them. I want to be able to expand the left sidebar so I can see the names of those folders and not just the first letter. I was able to do it before, but not now for some reason.

 Thanks!

  • Same here. We use DB for work and at third level (so company name, department, department main folder), DB starts cutting off folder names. Our names aren't even that long. By the 4th level, where we start putting images/docs by client name, job, or product, I can only see a few letters and it makes keeping stuff organized very difficult. Especially between multiple people in the company. I'm starting to find new folders with the same names as other folders, each in different places, because people couldn't;t find the folder they needed so they made a new one. 

    You need to make it so we can extend the left folder sidebar, especially for business accounts.

    Currently, it isn't possible to expand the navigation menu beyond a certain point.
