Why are these options showing when you right click instead of the usual "Open link in new tab, Open link in new window" options? Those are already available when you click the 3 dots. It's annoying not to have the new tab option when you deal with thousands of files.

Hi @duser, thanks for providing these details.

This was a recent change to our site to make it easier to access the options available to files.

Regarding opening files in a new tab, this can still be accomplished by middle clicking the file, since this generally is the setting for most browsers.

If you need any further assistance, please let me know!

A middle click is not the same as a right click. Do you have a middle mouse button used to scroll up and down a website?

Is there a way to revert this "feature"? I deal with hundreds of photos at a time and I need to be able to quickly open the photo in a NEW tab. By opening the photo I need to quickly view (and in most cases immediately close out) in the same tab that I conducted the search in I am loosing MASSIVE amounts of time, the search must be done again as the back arrow does not always work (even if the back arrow gets me back to the search, I loose my place on the page). Our organization isn't compatible with the new feature, we will need to switch to Microsoft cloud or something similar if DropBox can't revert the right button drop down menu. On our system we are unable to use the mouse wheel as an "open new tab" button.
