Dropbox files Preview pane

From File Manager, when I click on a .pdf, the preview pane shows this:

Index of C:\users\owner\dropbox\  and then lists everything in my dropbox.  This shows on everyone's pc I have shared the folders with.

 

This is only happening in the first two folders that I know of.  I have at least 25 folders.

    Hi BeckyO, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

    In order to understand exactly what you're seeing, could you attach a screenshot showing this behavior on your device?

    Could you also let me know what version of Windows you're running?

    This will help me to assist further!

      Remove the # sign from your file/folder names. It's a known Windows issue, unrelated to Dropbox.
