I don't want to keep seeing a side-preview of my files, when clicking the ellipsis
Hello. Often, I just need to download a file (PDF, Word doc) from the list in a folder's view. I click the three dot expansion menu, and it pulls up the preview pane. This is clunky, slow, unexpected...

This happens because when you click that menu the file is selected, and you have Quick View enabled for files. If you disable that, the file will not preview when you click the menu.

Thanks for the reply, Rich. I want files to open in quickview when I click the filename or container, but not when I click the three dot hotdog expansion menu.
Now that you mention it, clicking a file's selection box on the left pulls up a preview, too (unless you click two or more). Dropbox should nix that too.

This seems to have been fixed. Thank you! I know it seems like a little thing but my experience is much smoother again.
