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.

This isn't a Dropbox issue. Remove the pound sign # from your folder name

Jay, I have windows 10. This Index shows only and on ALL .pdf's in the first two Dropbox folders, above the .dropbox.cache (you can see to the left) Normally I would see the actual .pdf and I still do on all the files after the cache folder.

Hey essamabdeen, thanks for posting to our Community.
I appreciate the screenshot, but can you please give us some more info here? Are you having some kind of issue?
Is the info in this thread perhaps what you're looking for?
Keep me posted.

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