Details Pane Default Should Be Comments Not "Info"

Details Pane Default Should Be Comments Not "Info"

We view multiple PDF's on the site version and the default details pane now shows file info.  Is there any way you can add an option to have the comments be the default details pane option?  We use comments a lot and they are being missed as they aren't showing up in the details pane right away by default like they used to...please provide an option or change back to showing comments in details pane.

Will  this ever go back to the way it was where comments were visible and you had to click through to get file info?  Not sure who needs to view file information before comments it doesn't make any sense and is causing major issues for our team because people are missing comments affecting how we order materials.

 

Thank you.

Please put the comments back the way they were.  Why did you make it more difficult to view them?

This still has not been changed back and it mystifies me as to why not...who needs to view the file information more than the comments?  I'm just not seeing the logic to this change and my team desperately needs it changed back to the comment view as the default/primary view.

 

Thank you.

Sad.  I have no idea why Dropbox thinks this is the best way to present information.  I reported this almost a year ago and nothing has happened.  I have to believe this is a pain point for many businesses using Dropbox to manage projects.  

 

We have used Dropbox for 5 years and I'm starting to look elsewhere for new software as nearly every update makes things more difficult and slower for our team.

 

Thanks.
