How can I preview my files in full-screen mode on the website and not in quick view?
Suddenly I cannot open and files (documents or photos) in full-screen mode. Instead I get a split screen with the file shown only on the far-right third of the page. Is there some new way to open a f...
Hey amcoffice, thanks for reaching out to us on the Dropbox Community.
We really appreciate your comments on this feature and I wanted to let you know that I've passed your feedback to our team.
If you'd like to open your files in full-screen mode, you can simply click on the "open" button at the top right corner of the "quick view" preview and the file will open in full screen.
You can also disable quick view, if you want.
At the top right corner of your "all files" page, you'll see the following button, which will allow you to switch to full-screen previews.
I hope this helps, but let me know if you need anything else!

Happy to help, Judith!
If you need anything else, let us know.
I have the same issue. Why would they even have a side bar at all? Dropbox is the absolute worst.
Hi,
This is not an option on my current view. It is September 2024 now. All I want to do is browse a folder full of images (500 in my case) in FULL SCREEN with the dark background and have it STAY in full screen mode as I hit the arrow key to move to the next image. This used to be so easy and I cannot find a way to do this. I am on an iMac Pro in Safari browser. Thanks.

No, not like that. That’s exactly the problem. That is not full screen.
