Re: Turn off preview

How can I turn off the preview on the site?

Dropbox apparently introduced new functionality that forces a large preview window every time a file is selected.  The vast majority of time this degrades my efficiency in using Dropbox.  I can't find a way to turn it off.  Please help.  I'm on the website (not the mobile app) using MacOS and Safari.

It's extremely obtuse and annoying when I'm trying to select several item, and all of a sudden my screen rearranges itself and 1/3rd becomes unusable.

How do we disable this completely? No Preview at all?

Hello! The "full screen" option will essentially act as disable the feature completely / have not right panel on your browse screen.
