Larger Thumbnails. Can I do it?

Why isn't there an accessibility option for making thumbnails larger???

Hi @ShanaLynn, how are you today?

 

You should be able to change the size of your previewing thumbnails. 

 

If you're using the website you can click on the top, right part where you should be having six, horizontal lines

 

Once you click there, you can choose how you want your content to appear. 

 

In case you're using your desktop, you can change the way your thumbnails appear based on your OS, inside your Dropbox folder. Let me know the OS you're using, and I'd be happy to help! 

 

Thanks a bunch!

I'm using the iOS on iPhone. I only use the app, as I can't carry my laptop around in my line of work. I need bigger Thumbnails in the APP.

Hi @ShanaLynn, thank you for clarifying! 

 

I'd suggest that you post this feature request, in our 'Share an idea' board, so that other users can also see it there, and hopefully upvote it.

 

I hope this helps!

There's a tradeoff between thumbnail size and other information about the file when viewing the app on a phone-sized screen. If we make the thumbnail too large, it will obscure other information and also force you to scroll a lot more because there are fewer files displayed on the screen. Can you tell us more about what is your ideal thumbnail size?
