The new Dropbox Paper UI doesn't allow me to adjust the navigation column
So I use Dropbox paper EXTENSIVELY and the new upgrade is not working my way.
I get that the Paper is now a part of the file system. I can browse the folder using a file exporer and double clicking will open the website. That way does not work for me.
If I go to paper.dropbox.com my documents are almost (99,9% gone) gone and all of my folder structure is completely gone.
There is one single document. If I click on that I see the document and a sidebar that contains my folders (along with the rest of dropbox - which is annoying, but apparantly the new way).
What is REALLY annoying is that everytime I click on a document, the sidebare reposition content, and I can't see the real location without using the scroll bars. And I can't resize the the sidebar. This view is completely useless. I can't click through document because of this reloading and repositioning.
And I am not mentioning the fact that it is also slow, because of the way it loads the documents and loads folder structures lazy.
Is my Paper profile broken? Or is this the way it is supposed to work? If that is the way it is supposed to work, I am looking for a new platform.
I might add, that I have used Dropbox Paper since the very early days.

Hi Jsurland, thanks for messaging the Community.
This is the current method used for navigating your Dropbox Paper documents within their folders, and it isn't possible to increase the column width.
We haven't been able to duplicate the part where the scrollbar moves to the center when you click anywhere. Which browser are you using, and is this the same on other browsers?
This will help me to assist further!
Hi Jay,
Thanks for your quick reply. I am using Microsoft Edge on Windows 11. When I load a document it reloads the tree and reposition itself. My tree is 3-4 levels deep and has slightly long names.
Resizing the sidebar, is that on the roadmap?
